Everyone knows that they need to track their marketing efforts. If you didn\u2019t track your marketing you would not know what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t. Now I know tracking and analytics isn\u2019t really sexy and exciting, but it is a necessary evil that we have to do to determine if our marketing is paying off.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t already have Google Analytics set up on your website then that is going to be your first step.\u00a0 Google Analytics does a great job at tracking your visitors as they move from page to page on your website. But if you don\u2019t know what you are looking at, Google Analytics can be very confusing and overwhelming.<\/p>\n

The good news is that there are some free tools that can help simplify Google Analytics so you can understand the data that comes from this form of tracking.<\/p>\n

Below are 3 free tools that will help simplify Google Analytics for you.<\/p>\n

N2K<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Need to know helps you find out what you\u00a0 need to know when it comes to Google Analytics.<\/p>\n

So what does it do?<\/p>\n

Need to know is relatively new and is definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n

N2K gives you a one-page overview of your Google Analytics data. This report will highlight your key information over the last month.\u00a0 It takes all of the complicated Google Analytics and presents it to you in a compressed format.<\/p>\n

It is incredibly easy to use while still giving you a very detailed easy to read report.<\/p>\n

Quill Engage<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

What story will your data tell you?<\/p>\n

Quill is another fairly new free service that will take the data that is gathered from Google Analytics and transforms it into an easy to read and understand report.\u00a0 Quill gives you the option to receive a weekly or monthly email that is written in plain English.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this example report from Quill Engage<\/p>\n

\"blog-quill\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why is Quill Engage Useful?<\/p>\n

Quill Engage will literally take all of the data you get from Google Analytics and convert them to an easy to read, easy to understand report.\u00a0 This will allow you to take action on the data that is being collected.<\/p>\n

PadiTrack<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Tracking webpages just got easier.<\/p>\n

What does PadiTrack do?<\/p>\n

Just like the other two tools shared before, PadiTrack connects directly to your Google Analytics account and displays the data in an easier to understand format.\u00a0 This tool especially works well when it comes to tracking sales funnels.<\/p>\n

How is PadiTrack useful?<\/p>\n

One cool thing that Paditrack shows you is the conversions for each and every step of your sales funnel. This allows you to quickly pinpoint \u201cproblem areas\u201d in your conversion process.
\nPadiTrack also allows you to see how well your sales funnels are doing against specific segments.\u00a0 For example you could create a segment of users from a new email campaign, traffic driven from a specific keyword or from new visitors to your website who found you through Google search.<\/p>\n

PadiTrack offers a ton of other great reports and comes with a free version and makes a great \u201cadd-on\u201d to your analytics toolbox.<\/p>\n

These 3 tools are just a few tools to check out that will assist in making those hard to read Google Analytic reports a breeze to understand and read.\u00a0 Smart to Finish offers website analytic tracking support that will help give you a leg up on your competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
