Do you ever feel overwhelmed by measuring data for your website, or even wonder what data is critical to measure in a scenario of TMD (too much data)? I know I sometimes do. Maybe just glancing at your Google Analytics dashboard leaves you feeling a little overwhelmed. Much like the busy highway, your website has many entry points and exits. Understanding these will help you to keep more visitors on your website longer and convert them to customers.<\/p>\n<h2>Website Metrics Matter<\/h2>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you are using Google or another third-party provider to supply you with the raw data for the traffic coming to your site, it\u2019s bound to leave you feeling overwhelmed and wondering what data matters.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Website Metrics to Monitor, Measure and Improve<\/h3>\n<p>Today we\u2019ll talk about three metrics that it is wise to keep an eye on, and show you how to make it simpler to achieve success with your website.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">1. Test Call to Actions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While the Call to Action (CTA) may be the last thing that a visitor on your site sees, we are going to talk about it first. I think it\u2019s one of the most important, one of the easiest to change, and to test. Most people may only think of changing the color of the button. However, there are other things to consider such as placement, size, and shape of your button. And of course, there is always the message in your Call to Action.<\/p>\n<p>I like keeping a swipe file with catchy CTAs (and headlines) from magazines and advertisements I receive in the mail. If I\u2019m feeling less than inspired when it\u2019s time to write a call to action, I\u2019ll pull out the file and read through it for inspiration. For me, it\u2019s a great way to think more creatively.<\/p>\n<p>Try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/roi-a-b-split-testing\/\">A\/B split testing<\/a> to change these different elements to see what converts best, both on your website and sales pages.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">2. Optimize those Headlines<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Headlines are crucial because it\u2019s the first thing that a reader sees, and it determines whether they will click and start reading, or move on. If your headlines are duds, it doesn\u2019t matter how fantastic the blog post, sales page, or social media post is \u2013\u00a0more times than not, it\u2019s not going to get read.<\/p>\n<p>Need good inspiration for headline writing? Thumb through <em>Oprah <\/em>or an excellent magazine in your niche. Don\u2019t steal the headline word-for-word \u2013 that is, of course, plagiarism \u2013\u00a0but it can definitely get the creative juices flowing. If you are running ads, try using different headlines and test to determine what works. Keep notes to refer back to what your audience liked, and what they <em>didn\u2019t like<\/em>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Here\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/coschedule.com\/headline-analyzer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free headline testing tool<\/a> to try out.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">3.\u00a0Put Heatmaps to Work<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Do you track where your readers go on your site? Do you see how long they stay there? If you do not monitor where they are, how can you tell what they like, and understand how to give them more of it? Heatmap <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plugins for WordPress<\/a> include Hotspots Analytics, Clicky Analytics, Heatmap for WordPress, and more of course.<\/p>\n<p>I just recently added a WordPress heatmap plugin to my own site. Most are free to get started and\u00a0effortless to use. It shows me what content I want to change because readers aren\u2019t interested, and what they are reading, so I can give them more of the same kind of material.<\/p>\n<h2>Take Website Metrics Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n<p>These are just three easy ways that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/google-analytics-utm-tracking\/\">measure ROI\u00a0on your website<\/a>. I hope this makes you feel a little bit more at ease with a few of your analytics. If you just take them one at a time and break them down, you will find that they are not so hard to understand. You don\u2019t have to understand everything at once, nor do you have to fix everything in one day.<\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Using+%23Website+Metrics+to+Discover+What+Works+by+%40KStarry+%23RocksDigital+%23DigitalMarketing&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/using-website-metrics\/' target='_blank'>Using #Website Metrics to Discover What Works by @KStarry #RocksDigital #DigitalMarketing<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Using+%23Website+Metrics+to+Discover+What+Works+by+%40KStarry+%23RocksDigital+%23DigitalMarketing&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/using-website-metrics\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Do you feel ready to take on that data now?
