Part 6: What Are People Doing On My Website?
Getting visitors to your website is just the beginning. The next question is: What are they doing once they get there?
Google Analytics gives you a window into how people are moving through your site — what pages they’re viewing, how long they’re staying, and where they’re dropping off. This information helps you improve your site’s layout, content, and overall effectiveness.
Key Behavior Metrics to Watch
Here are a few important indicators of how people interact with your website:
Top Pages
- Shows which pages are getting the most views.
- This helps you understand what content is drawing attention — or what people are most interested in.
Navigation Paths / Engagement Flow
- Shows how visitors move from one page to another.
- Want to know if people are clicking from your homepage to your contact form? This tells you.
Engagement Time
- Shows how long users are staying on your site or specific pages.
- A longer time usually means they’re reading, watching, or interacting with your content.
Exit Pages
- Shows where visitors are leaving your site.
- This can help identify weak spots — like pages that lose interest or miss a clear call to action.
Real-Life Examples
- If your “About” page has high traffic but people drop off afterward, maybe it needs a stronger link to your services or contact page.
- If most users only visit one page and leave, it might be time to rework your calls to action or improve internal links.
- If a blog post is getting lots of views, consider building related content or promotions around that topic.
