Google Analytics is a free enterprise-class web service that shows advertisers, marketers and website owners how visitors interact with their website and how to maximize their online presence. Google Analytics offers customers data in context, so that anyone from seasoned pros to novices can identify where visitors come from, what action they take on the website, and where they go when they leave.

Customer Success Stories:

Neutrogena, a lucrative Johnson & Johnson brand, has been testing analytics products over the past six years and realized the analytics products they were using weren’t providing the robust reports that they were looking for. In 2007, Neutrogena.com switched to using Google Analytics and found that they can now easily share information across all relevant business partners. They are the first J&J business unit to use Google Analytics, which is now spreading across the entire company. Among other things, they’re using the data to make budget recommendations, which has proven influential when performing cost analysis.

Yelp, headquartered in San Francisco, is a fun and easy site, designed to find, review and talk about what is great in your world. Soon after starting their business in 2004, they began using Google Analytics and saw instant results. Seen by the CEO as one of their “bread and butter tools,” he commented that “it offers the type of stuff that everyone has to have if they’re serious about their website.” Yelp employees use the data on a daily basis as a decision support tool to make subtle content changes.
