What does this involve?

Website data analytics can offer crucial insights into whether your website is performing well. It’s not enough to create a website and just put it out there. You need to know that it’s doing what it should – that is, prompting ‘conversions’ among your users. Whether it’s signing up for a mailing list or making a purchase, the conversion should be an action that supports your business objectives.
