Google Analytics
A free, browser-based software that allows users to link their website to the Google Analytics (GA) platform. The tool then gives users information about users and traffic to their website including, but not limited to, total visitors and visits, individual pages visited, what site users entered your website from, and demographic information on users such as age and geographic region.
The most recent version of Google Analytics is GA4, replacing the previous version, Universal Analytics. Having GA set up for your business is an easy and important step to gathering useful data on your website’s effectiveness.

For websites and digital marketers, algorithms refer to the many programs designed to analyze and assess either a website, individual digital elements, or user behavior on a site. Based on this data, the algorithm could then be designed to rank a website, list a web element as a search result, or suggest content to a user, such as on Youtube or Facebook.
