When you create and manage a professional website, you need to:

  • have different jobs

  • spend much time

  • learn new technologies permanently

It may sometimes be discouraging.

To design and improve your professional website, use the best Google tools to be a multitasking content creator and web designer (almost) effortlessly.

The best Google tools to see your statistics

To enhance your website, you need to consult your statistics and website health regularly.

With a pretty clear idea of what does work or not, from your growth to your advantages, you can refine your vision and objectives.

Many internet users consider statistics to be discouraging, the Google tools make them clear, understandable and fun.

Let’s list and analyse all the Google tools.

Google Analytics

It’s probable that you already know Google Analytics, which is one of the most famous Google tools.  

Once you have created your professional website, Google Analytics enables you to analyse the statistics on your website visits and your visitors’ characteristics.

To sum up, Google Analytics summarizes the statistics on your website visits.

Google Analytics anticipates by determining indicators related to your objectives you need to analyse. It requires defining your Key Performance Indicators (KPI).

Google Analytics enables you to access much information such as:

👉 The sources of your visits

It enables you to know where your visitors come from: social media, search results, ads…

👉 The loading time and the time spent on your website

These two settings are essential for your SEO.

If the loading time exceeds three seconds, remember that many internet users will abandon your website and search information elsewhere.  

However, the time spent on your website is difficult to interpret. Spending little time on a website may mean that the information is easy to find, or your content doesn’t meet your visitor’s expectations.

Therefore, consider this setting case by case, depending on the objective of your websites.

👉 The bounce rate

The bounce rate is also an important SEO element.  

It represents the number of visitors who clicked on your link, visited your page and left it without visiting other ones.

✔️ Google Analytics gives you access to essential indicators, especially on your traffic.

It’s possible to see the Google Analytics statistics directly on your SiteW account. To that end, go to My websites > Statistics tab.

Google Search Console

Web designers know very well Google Search Console (ex-Google Webmaster Tool).

  • Grey category: Pages aren’t indexed by Google

  • Green category: Pages are indexed and have no issues

  • Orange category: Pages are indexed, but have several issues that you should fix

  • Red category: Pages aren’t indexed because of important issues

Consult each category to ensure that your pages are indexed or not, depending on your wish and in accordance with Google requirements.
