Configure Google Search Console/Webmaster Tools for a Domain

What is it?

Google Analytics is an important tool for both troubleshooting and tracking traffic on a web site. It allows for the tracking of information such as who visits a site, where they are coming from, and how they got there.  These statistics can be very helpful for tracking the success of any marketing campaigns and the overall effectiveness of your site. It can also be crucial when trying to identify problems or block malicious users.

 

Why should you care?

Analytics provide insight into what is actually happening on a web site.  It is highly recommended that all sites leverage analytics to monitor and record traffic over time.  Even if the information is not actively used immediately, it can provide important data to help with future marketing campaigns of all types.  And as stated, it is very helpful for troubleshooting security issues in many instances.
