SEO Concepts
Where are the visitors coming from? Organic search results? Paid search? Links from partners? What do they once they get there? Immediately go somewhere else (called bounce)? What other pages do the visit? What businesses often find is what they intuitively thought happened with their website visitors does not often match up with the facts. Armed with good analytics, decisions can be made to improve the website in ways that would not have been considered before.
Ultimately what is most important to track are called conversions. This means the visitor does some desired action as a result of visiting the website. Either buying a product, registering their email address, requesting more information via a contact form, etc. Many small businesses in particular are looking for the visitor to call. That is where the website analytics break down as they can not track that. So, other mechanisms need to pick up from there.
