#1 Daily visitors

Q. How many unique visitors are visiting your site?

A. Track the trends and see if visitors are increasing over time

A. Track the impact of blogging, social media, and offline promotions

We provide our Done For You clients with a monthly report on their traffic, leads and website clicks because at

the end of the day that's what's important.

#2 Bounce Rate

Bounce rate is the number of people who only visit one

page of your site before bouncing off again. It's an indication of

relevance, message clarity, and usefulness

If your bounce rate is high it means people are visiting your site but not staying.

Unfortunately this affects your Google ratings too because Google favours sites with a low bounce rate.

A low bounce rate shows that you're offering relevant and useful content for your audience.

indication of the relevance, usefulness and how you engage

your visitors.

still generating significant traffic to the mmspark.com website.
