Website Traffic, How to Monitor

After setting up a website, the most important work starts: monitoring it.

The typical questions one asks when managing a site are:

  • Do I know how many visitors our website had yesterday / last week / last month?
  • Do I know how long they visited the site?
  • Do I know which pages they viewed?

Of course, the first step is to get these questions answered. This can be done with several tools but we found Google Analytics to be the best to use, as set-up is a breeze and it's also cost-effective (free).

The next step is to analyze the data you've been provided to determine what to do (i.e. if you have a lot of visitors but they only stay for seconds, or you do not have returning visitors = something is obviously wrong).

Now that you know what the score is, you can work out how to get more visitors or get your current traffic to stay on your site longer. THAT is the real problem, and is where we (Mr. Web Wiz) come in with a solution. We are able to help you set up Google Analytics so you can analyze the data and find what you may need to change in order to boost your traffic. The process of optimizing a website is a gradual one: make small changes, monitor, more little changes, monitor again, ad infinitum...

With our years of experience, we do our best to use state-of-the-art techniques and tools to ensure that our sites are search engine-friendly and easily monitored and analyzed.
