How do you know if your website is working?

The handful of numbers that actually tell you whether your website brings in business, where to find them for free, and how to read them.

What you’ll learn

  • Which numbers matter and which are noise
  • Where to find them for free
  • How to read trends instead of single months
  • How to build a one-page monthly scorecard

Why it matters

If you can’t answer “how many leads came from the website last month?”, you can’t tell what’s working or what to spend on.

Count actions, not just visits

Visits are interesting; calls, form submissions and bookings pay the bills. Those are the numbers to track each month.
