 But to know whether your techniques and tactics are working or not, you need data. 

 Data, that could tell you about what's working and what's not.

 Google Analytics is the platform that'll help you to understand that.

 You'll know about

 - Who are your visitors?
- Where do they come from?
- What do they consume?
- What actions do they take?

 And more...
