We talked about images, we talked about content, and now we’re talking about the ruler of what really matters: data.
Data is not always pretty. It has no opinion, no biases, it simply reports what is. You can spend hours upon hours designing your website, generating copy from AI, or hiring copywriters to write the perfect messaging, and believing that everyone who visits is reading every word and appreciating every image you spent money, or countless hours creating yourself.
Then, after all that investment, you find out someone stayed on your page for less than five seconds. Or, worse.. less than one second.
Really think about that.
Going back to our previous posts, it’s not about the quantity of words or images. It’s about quality and whether what you’re putting out there is actually connecting with your audience.
The Reality Check: Are People Actually Engaging?
So, how do you figure this out?
Web Dev 101: Always set up analytics before pushing your website live.
You would be surprised how many clients we work with launch new websites without any analytics tracking the user journey or identifying the most visited pages. How else do you determine what is working and what isn’t?
Why Website Analytics Matter
If lead submissions aren’t coming through, auditing where your traffic is going can help identify low-hanging fruit and opportunities for improvement.
You can make adjustments that guide users down the path you want them to take. Data will show you where those opportunities exist, and a team like ours can break it down and provide recommendations on what to improve.
Google Analytics and Search Console are still our go-to systems, for the time being, to review data and reporting on where users are landing and which pages they are spending the most time on.
Search Console: What Your Customers Are Actually Searching For
Search Console provides insight into the keywords and search queries people type to find your website.
Seeing this information does three things:
Anyone writing copy without reviewing the data is simply guessing and guessing can cost you both time and money.
1. Proven Keywords
Provides actual, proven keywords that are bringing visitors to your relevant pages.
2. Search Visibility
Shows how many times your website appears in search results and how many people are actually clicking through to learn more.
3. Opportunity Identification
Reveals opportunities. The data allows you to see which keywords are working and which ones aren’t.
For example, if you’re a café trying to rank for “latte art in Saratoga” and you notice you’re getting impressions meaning views but no clicks, you may want to consider adding pages with actual examples of your latte art. Better yet, feature the baristas creating it.
Turning Data Into Action
Where we come in is providing creative recommendations based on the data.
After implementing updates, we’ll check back in three months to evaluate whether the changes have made an impact.
Impact means asking questions like:
- Have there been any lead submissions?
- Has the bounce rate decreased?
- Are people spending more time on the page?
- Are they completing the action the page was designed for?
The Feng Shui Connection
When I think about Feng Shui and websites, data is where the energy either confirms what you believe or reveals something completely different.
In traditional Feng Shui, you observe how energy moves through a space.
Where do people naturally go?
Which areas feel inviting?
Which areas feel stagnant?
Your website does the same thing.
What makes perfect sense to us may not make sense to a visitor.
What we think is obvious may not be obvious at all.
The data helps bridge that gap.
Website Feng Shui Audits: Finding Where Energy Gets Stuck
When we perform a Website Feng Shui Audit, we’re looking for the places where energy is flowing and the places where it gets stuck.
