Have you ever wondered to yourself, what is my website really doing? Are people who need my help really finding our page? Time after time, I run into insurance agents, $15,000 lighter, and after they’ve purchased the fanciest website around. I go onto the page and I agree with them. Their pages are indeed awesome. They have every feature. Chatbots, online quoting systems, videos, the list goes on. The problem is no one looking to buy insurance actually visits the site.

According to Wikipedia, Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic, currently as a platform inside the Google Marketing Platform brand. Right now, about half of every single website on the web use Google Analytics.

I advise everyone I speak with to get it immediately. If you don’t know what’s happening under the hood, you can’t determine what’s happening with your engine. Google Analytics will give you that look. Analytics can help answer every question you have about your website, down to your multi-channel funnel.

Yeah, this is important BUT almost no agent knows how to do this. Even the larger companies seem incompetent at digital marketing.

Fact is you wont get much organic traffic until you build a brand. Though I am not familiar w infinity leads, most lead gen companies burn more bridges than they build. I wouldnt be taking brand building advice from a leadgen company, though they probably know a thing or two about facebook ads.
