Key things to look out for

- Number of users : Evaluate the scope of your site. Beyond knowing how many users browsed your site this week. You can find out if there are new users. Their ages, genders, the city from which they are visiting the site. Concretely know if your website reaches the target you are aiming for.
For example, a significant number of people who filled out your contact forms are not from the region. Thanks to Google Analytics you discover that 40% of your visitors come from Nantes while you work in Strasbourg. Review the clarity of this information on your site.
- Visited pages : What are the pages that Pleasant And those who are not pleasant. How do users move around my website. Why is no one going to my practice page? The “area of expertise” page is a hit! How long did the visitor stay on my offer page?
Example: The bounce rate on the home page is very high, 90% of people only stay for a few seconds before leaving the site. In this case, go through Ourama for an extraordinary site! More seriously try to understand why people leave the page. On GA4 you discover that 90% of visitors are on mobile, your site may not be adapted to this type of screen!
- Acquisition channels : Identify traffic sources. GA4 allows you to understand How do users land on your site Know if your latest communication campaigns have been effective.
For example, you have few visitors by”Organic Search” but a lot of traffic by”Organic Social.” Your campaigns on social networks are therefore effective but when you are searched for on search engines they cannot find you. And those who find you are looking for a business lawyer in Paris while you specialize in family law. Rework your SEO,, it's likely that your keyword choices aren't good enough.

Example: The “Contact” page generates very few conversions. Nobody is filling out the contact form on it. While dozens of people subscribe to my newsletter. Compare the actions implemented and apply these lessons to the less efficient sections. On my site, there are registration buttons and a pop-up on the home page for the newsletter. While only a contact tab for making appointments. Consider offering an additional incentive or simplifying the sign-up process!
