• Q: Ted, why are analytics and market research so important?
• A: Proper analytics help businesses better understand their customers needs. By tracking key metrics and KPI’s we can understand how to make websites better with better user experience and ultimately deliver an easier lead process for businesses.
• Q: What’s an example of a key metric or KPI?
• A: Key metrics are informational data such as number of pages per visit to your website, social media likes, number of shares, and most importantly, who contacted you. KPI or Key Performance Indicators, generally focus on conversions or leads. Conversion tracking is an essential part of analytics for small businesses. The best KPI’s are ones that directly lead to sales, this could be filling out a lead gen form, a phone call, or some other key action on your website that is tracked which we are able to do and monitor. Over time, tracking these KPI’s lead to business discoveries that help owners make smarter decisions about what works for their business online.
• Q: Tell us about how analytics help smaller companies.
• A: Analytics aren’t just for large corporations; it is an essential tool for small businesses to level the playing field and achieve their full potential. In the data-driven world of today, small businesses that ignore their analytics are missing out on a crucial opportunity to grow and succeed. It’s critical to embrace the power of analytics to transform your small business from just a passion project into a data-driven powerhouse. Small businesses that consistently track and analyze their performance are better equipped to make informed decisions, identify growth opportunities, and navigate challenges effectively. Leverage analytics to gain a deeper understanding of your customers, optimize your marketing strategies, and maximize your return on investment (ROI).
