Everyone, who runs a website knows about the benefits of google analytics. It gives you an insight of what visitors do on your website and allows you to use this information as an advantage.

Google analytics has hundreds of metrics, but here we will discuss only 14 of them, which are the most essential of them all:

  • Users and sessions

Taking into account the number of users in your metrics is really important, since it provides the amount of unique visitors, meaning specific individuals that visit the website in a specific time line. And sessions are the amount of time when visitors engaged with the website. This data helps you determine how the traffic flow to your website is.

  • Duration of a session

This means an average time that a prospective client spends on a website.

  • Pages on each session

Including this metric will give you an information about how many pages a visitor goes through on average. This will give you an information about how much of your content interests them.

  • Ratio of new and repeated visitors

If you compare the amount of new visitors to repeating ones, you will see how your campaign works and what kind of influence it has on visitors.

  • Bounce rate

It is a percentage of those people who only visited one page. When you have a high bounce rate, it means that there is a problem with your campaign. When this happens, we recommend to divide the visitors in several segments and find the issue underneath.

  • Organic and paid sessions

Clients reach to your website through different sources, it can be an organic (natural) session or a paid one. When they come through organic way, it means that traffic came from a non-paid search engine. On the paid one they clicked on advertisement and reached the website. Natural sessions indicate that you have an effective SEO, while paid sessions mean that you have a very good ad campaigns.
