Setting Up Google Analytics on Your PhotoBiz Website
Google Analytics is a free tool that helps you understand how visitors interact with your website. By integrating it with your PhotoBiz site, you can track how users find your site, what pages they view, and how your content performs. This information helps you improve your site and enhance your online presence.
You can also connect Google Analytics with Google Search Console for more insights into how your site appears and performs in Google search results.
