How to Start Tracking Your Website Marketing Results Easily

If you are using a website to marketing your business, you should consider tracking how people visit and interact with the website even if you are a local shop and you just want visitors to give you a call after getting information from your website.

There are many tracking systems out there which will show you:

  • How many people visit your website

  • How long they stay
  • The articles they read
  • and much more

Google Analytics is one of the most popular and free tracking system.
