Who visited your website last month? (Free 10-minute fix)
Most small business owners have no idea what their website is doing. Google Analytics and Search Console fix that for free, in about 10 minutes.
Go on then — how many people actually visited your website last month? If you don't know, you're not alone, and it's costing you more than you'd think.
Flying blind
Most small business owners have a website and genuinely no idea what it's doing. No clue how many people land on it, which page they leave from, or whether that Facebook post actually sent anyone there. You're spending time and money driving people somewhere, and then flying completely blind on whether it worked.
The fix
The fix is free and it's not complicated. Google Analytics, set up properly, takes about ten minutes and tells you exactly what's happening — how many visitors, where they came from, which page they gave up on. Google Search Console does the same for what people actually searched to find you.
What it actually answers
It's not about staring at numbers for fun. It's about finally being able to answer real questions — is that flyer actually working, is anyone finding the pricing page, is the site even getting looked at at all.
If you couldn't answer how many people visited your site last month, that's the actual gap — not the website itself, just not knowing what it's doing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out how many people visited my website?
Set up Google Analytics on your site. Once it's properly installed it tells you exactly how many visitors you've had, where they came from, and which page they left from — for free.
What's the difference between Google Analytics and Search Console?
Google Analytics tells you what happens once someone's on your site — visitors, page views, drop-off points. Google Search Console tells you what people actually searched to find you in the first place. Used together they answer most of the real questions.
How long does it take to set up website analytics?
About 10 minutes if it's done properly. It's free and doesn't require any technical background to read once it's running.
