5. G.A. Basics

6.  Sessions A session is a group of interactions that take place on your website within a given time frame. For example single session can contain multiple screen or page views. (How many times users messed around on your site)  Users People who have used the site for the first time or who have repeatedly used the site  Page Views The collective number of pages all the users have seen  Bounce Rate The percentage of single-page sessions. (Good bounce rates are Relative and High Bounce Rate is NOT ALWAYS BAD!)

7. Conversion Tracking Sending any digital marketing to a website without identifying a KPI (Key Performance Index) amounts to probable success built on guesswork and luck We have chosen Google Analytics as our baseline measuring too for 2 reasons. (1) G.A. is an incredibly robust tool that works in almost every web environment (2) G.A. is 100% transparent. Whether an account is performing well or not, Google Analytics will show our team AND clients.
