How well is your website performing?

Are you monitoring your website statistics?  Not sure how?

Google Analytics is our recommended web analytics solution giving you insight into information about your website traffic and marketing effectiveness.

Without doubt, adding Google Analytics to your website is the most crucial thing you could do for your business online. Gauge your business performance by understanding who visits your site, where they come from, how long they stay and what they are looking for.  Once Google Analytics has been added to your website, you will be able to measure, analyse and enhance your website's performance.

If you're not currently accessing this information, act now.  All you need is a Google Account - register for a Google Account then sign in to Google Analytics.  If you would like the Webz team to be able to access your site statistics, then add webzconz@gmail.com as an Administrator to your account.    

Google can email your reports to you each month

If you are already signed up to Google Analtyics and hardly ever have time to look at the reports, have your reports emailed to you every month.  To do this, follow these steps:

1. Login to Google Analytics
2. From the Dashboard, click the Email button
3. Click the Schedule Tab
4. Fill in the form and select the options that suit you
5. Press schedule

If you would like Webz to do this for you, ensure you have added webzconz@gmail.com as an Administrator to your account and then ask Webz to have your reports emailed to you each month. Quickfix fee applies.
