Web analytics

Web analytics comprises of different methods to collect and analyze data to improve the online presence of your business. Web analytics enables you to observe and understand your users behavior, spot trends and patterns on- and off-site.

With web analysis you find out where your customers come from (click path), or measure the effectiveness of your campaigns and site performance. For instance, bounce rate may signal that the site doesn’t interest visitors. On the other hand, a high conversion rate shows you the best performing content.
