Overall Satisfaction with Google Analytics

Google Analytics provides powerful digital analytics for anyone with a web presence, large or small. It's one of the most powerful digital analytics solutions available - and it's free for anyone to use.

At our digital marketing agency, we require all clients to use and install it site-wide, so we get a better picture of visitor data across the entire organization's website. Typically we give administrator access to the marketing department as they need actionable data to make decisions daily, based off visitor engagement onsite.

If your site generates 10 million or fewer hits per month, then Google Analytics is free. If your site generates more than 10 million hits per month, then Google offers increased limits as part of Google Analytics Premium.
