Is Your Website Converting Visitors into Leads?
To succeed in real estate, you need more than just a beautiful website — you need data and insights to guide your strategy. Just as a military leader wouldn’t plan an operation without knowing the terrain, you shouldn’t design, update, or drive traffic to your site without understanding how visitors are interacting with it. Knowing your visitors’ browsing patterns can help you identify what really needs improvement.

Google Analytics is an essential tool for understanding visitor activity on your website. The latest version, GA4, offers advanced data that reveals how people use your site and highlights any weak spots that might be preventing you from generating more leads. With 90% of real estate transactions starting online, even referrals will likely Google you first. Understanding who visits your site and how they interact with it is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness.
