Do you know what your website is really delivering?
Your website is live, your content is in place, and visitors can find their way around. But did you know you can actually measure what’s happening on your site? Who visits, what they look at, and whether they take the action you hope for? Many people don’t think about this even though it helps you make smarter decisions.
With just a few insights, you can quickly see what’s working and where you might be missing opportunities. That way, you keep getting more out of your website long after the launch.
Why measuring matters
A website is never truly finished. That might sound obvious, but many companies forget that the real work starts after going live. By tracking performance, you gain insight into what your website is actually delivering. For example:
- How many people visit your site
- Whether they’re finding the right pages
- How many forms get submitted
- How well your site is showing up in search
And here’s the good part: once you know what’s working (and what’s not), you can adjust. Sometimes a small tweak like a better-placed button, a clearer call to action or a new landing page can make a big difference. A great example is our client Billy Grace, their are measuring everything and growing fast.
Turning goals into measurable results
Your website is designed to support your goals. But how do you make those goals measurable? It starts with clear KPIs: specific numbers that help you see whether you’re on track.
Say you want ten new customers each month. Then your KPI might be that your website should generate at least fifteen leads per month. Or if you want more downloads of a whitepaper, you’d track how many people click that download button.
By doing a baseline measurement (where are you now?) and checking in regularly, you can see whether your efforts are paying off and adjust as needed.
What to do with your insights
The main purpose of measuring is to improve. If visitors drop off on a specific page, we can look at why. Is the message unclear? Does it take too long to reach the action? With small changes, you can often achieve big results.
Sometimes that means creating an extra landing page, simplifying a form, or restructuring your content. Everything you measure gives you input to improve your site and hit your goals faster.
The bottom line: measuring pays off
What we really want to say is this: not measuring your site is a missed opportunity. You’re likely leaving results on the table. With just a bit of attention, you can get much more out of your website – not by rebuilding it, but by improving what’s already there.
And we’re happy to help. From setting clear goals to thinking through smart ways to improve based on the right insights.
