Installation steps (even beginners can learn)

  1. Register a Google Analytics account

  2. Add your independent website and generate tracking code.

  3. Paste the code into the website's <head> ` tag.

  4. Once you're in the backend, click "Real-time > Overview" to see real-time visitor statistics.

Practical skills

  • Pay attention to visitor sources: search engines, social media platforms, direct access

  • Pay attention to real-time visitor numbers and dwell time. If visitors from a particular channel have a short dwell time, it indicates that the content is not engaging enough.

  • Determine page attractiveness by combining bounce rate.

2. Examine the source channel: Which channel has the best traffic generation effect?

In Google Analytics or the AB Guest backend, you can see the source channels:

  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : Visitors enter through search engines such as Google and Bing.

  • Social : From WeChat, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

  • Direct access : Enter the URL directly or bookmark it to access the website.

Tip:

  • Traffic from search engines typically has a high conversion rate, but requires continuous SEO optimization.

  • Social media traffic is flexible, but it requires coordinated content and activities.

  • Direct access indicates that your brand or advertisement has a certain level of recognition.

We can directly see the source of visitors:

  • www.bing.com, cn.bing.com Search sources

  • IP address, region, and browser information are clearly displayed.

  • Visit time and duration of stay are clearly displayed.

3. Utilize AB Customer Intelligent Website Building: Create a closed-loop inquiry process.

Knowing where visitors come from isn't enough; the most crucial aspect is converting them into inquiries . AB Customer's intelligent website builder has built-in comprehensive data tracking capabilities:
