class=\"brand-claim\">What is Google Analytics?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"lead-def\"><strong>Google Analytics<\/strong> is a free web analytics tool from Google that helps companies and website owners understand how their website is used. With Google Analytics you can record and evaluate key data such as the number of visitors, the time they spend on the site and the <a href=\"https:\/\/taismo.de\/en\/what-is\/bounce-rate\/\">bounce rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/taismo.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/google-analytics.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Google Analytics explained: how the web analytics tool records traffic sources, landing pages and <a href=\"https:\/\/taismo.de\/en\/what-is\/conversions\/\">conversions<\/a>&#8221; title=&#8221;Google Analytics: web analytics data at a glance&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221;><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"key-features-of-google-analytics\">The key features of Google Analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the most important features of Google Analytics are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Traffic source analysis:<\/strong> shows you which websites, search engines or ad campaigns most of your visitors arrive from.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Landing page analysis:<\/strong> shows you which pages on your website are the most popular and which ones get the fewest visits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>User behavior:<\/strong> shows you how people move through your website and which actions they take on it, for example filling in a form or buying a product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conversion rates:<\/strong> show you how many visitors to your website actually become customers and which factors influence that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how a website is used. That information is then presented in reports and charts in a simple, easy to understand form. Companies and website owners can use this data to improve their online marketing and to optimize the user experience on their website.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-set-up-google-analytics\">How do you set up Google Analytics on a website?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/9304153?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google Analytics<\/a> can be used on almost any website by embedding a short piece of code. There are also a number of plugins and applications that make working with Google Analytics easier, for example for <a href=\"https:\/\/taismo.de\/en\/webdesign\/\">WordPress<\/a> and Shopify.<\/p>\n<p>Google Analytics is a standard tool for anyone who runs a website and wants to understand how visitors use it. The data helps you improve your online marketing strategy, optimize the user experience and raise your conversion rates.<\/p>\n<p>One important note about Google Analytics: in Germany and a number of other countries, compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (<strong>GDPR<\/strong>) is mandatory. Users have to give their consent before Google Analytics is allowed to collect their data. It is the responsibility of the website operator to make sure the right measures for obtaining that consent are in place and that consent is refreshed regularly.<\/p>\n<p>If you use Google Analytics on your website, make sure you have a clear and transparent privacy policy that explains which data is collected and how it is used. It is also advisable to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/taismo.de\/en\/what-is\/cookie-banner\/\">cookie banner<\/a> or a pop-up notice to obtain the consent of your users.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"google-analytics-alternatives\">Which alternative tools are there?<\/h2>\n<p>Google Analytics is one of the most widely used tools for website data, but there are alternatives that are worth considering. Some of them are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/matomo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Matomo<\/strong><\/a> (formerly Piwik): an open-source solution that offers many of the same features as Google Analytics. Matomo is a good fit for anyone who wants more control over their data and does not want to hand it to a third party.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adobe Analytics<\/strong>: a powerful tool for enterprises and e-commerce websites, with extensive analysis features, personalized reports and integrated marketing tools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clicky<\/strong>: an easy to use tool that offers real-time statistics, heatmaps and other handy features. It suits smaller websites and blogs particularly well.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/usefathom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Fathom<\/strong><\/a>: a privacy-friendly alternative that delivers simple, lightweight and resource-saving statistics without collecting personal data.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plausible.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Plausible<\/strong><\/a>: a paid, leaner and very clearly laid out alternative to Google Analytics that collects no personal data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every one of these tools has its own strengths and weaknesses and can be a better or worse fit depending on the requirements and goals of a website. So it is worth testing a few of them and picking the one that suits your website best.<\/p>\n<p>Do you need help choosing the right web analytics tool?
