Google Analytics is a powerful web analytics service provided by Google that is free for all users.  This tool allows website owners and marketers to track and analyze various aspects of their website’s performance. There are several benefits of using this tool. Google Analytics provides insights into which pages on your website are the most popular, how long visitors stay on each page, and which content is driving the most engagement. The tool itself is not directly related to algorithms in the sense of the algorithms used for data analysis. Instead, Google Analytics relies on the data it collects from your website and creates something that is digestible for the users to understand. It focuses on the data that is most important, allowing users to know what keeps relevance on their page and what doesn’t. As our guest speaker Nitan Goyal, a data analyst specialist, mentioned, the data collected will help marketers analyze the impact of the content created. Google analytics will also show you  where they are coming from, and what devices and browsers they are using. The reading Are you including enough diversity in your content shows how the importance of diversity in your content can reach more users from all over the world. Google analytics can lead you to an idea if you need to diversify your content some more. As the article mentioned, “73% of Gen Z and millennials have a favorable view on brands that voice different viewpoints and support social causes” This statistic proves how the use of the google analytics will show if you need to switch things up, because it will tell you the age range of the users on your website.

Land Acknowledgment

The University of Guelph-Humber and Humber College are located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok, the “Place of the Black Alders” in the Mississauga language, the region is uniquely situated along Humber River Watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples between the Ontario Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. Now home to people of numerous nations, Adoobiigok continues to provide a vital source of interconnection for all. We acknowledge and honour the land we are walking on, the moccasin tracks of our ancestors and the footprints of the future generations to come.
