Digital analytics
Digital analytics is the process of collecting data from users as they interact with the website and providing you with a picture representation of that data. Research has told us that people buy products and services in stages. Analytics can show the acquisition of new users or pages viewed by the user while on the website and conversion. The user has become a customer, either through purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or interacting with a blog. Digital analytics then allows you to take this information and make better-informed decisions. Such as analyzing the data from your marketing campaigns to see which ones turn into sales so you can expand these efforts. Digital analytics also shows you if customers are having trouble with any step on your website. It can show you if users engaged your website on a mobile device or a desktop computer and how quickly your website responds to a customer's request.
