Google Analytics

Google's free web analytics tool (currently GA4) that tracks website visitors, their behavior, traffic sources, and conversions, showing you what's working and what isn't.

Why It Matters for Your Business

Without Google Analytics, you're guessing. You don't know how many people visit your website, where they come from, which pages they view, or whether any of it leads to phone calls. That's like running a store with the lights off.

For Brevard County businesses spending money on marketing, Analytics is how you know if that spend is working. If your SEO company says "traffic is up 40%," Analytics is where you verify that claim and see whether that traffic actually converted.

How It Works

GA4 tracks visitor behavior through events and provides practical reports:

A Rockledge HVAC company used Google Analytics to discover that their blog post about "AC maintenance tips" was getting 500 visits per month but zero conversions because there was no CTA on the page. Adding a "Schedule Maintenance" button generated 12 new bookings in the first month.

Common questions
FAQ

Tap a question to expand.

Is Google Analytics hard to set up?
Basic setup takes about 15 minutes. Create a GA4 property, add the tracking code to your website, and you're collecting data. Setting up conversion tracking (form submissions, calls) takes a bit more work but is essential for measuring ROI.
What happened to Universal Analytics?
Google retired Universal Analytics in July 2023 and replaced it with GA4. GA4 uses an event-based model instead of session-based, which is more flexible but has a learning curve. All new setups use GA4 exclusively.
What should a local business track in Google Analytics?
Track form submissions, phone call clicks, direction requests, and which pages drive the most conversions. Also monitor traffic sources, because knowing whether leads come from Google, social media, or referrals helps you invest wisely.
