When it comes to website analytics tools, many marketers immediately think of Google Analytics—and only Google Analytics. While GA is a robust analytics platform, it’s not the only analytics platform on the market, and there are many other tools that complement and expand what GA can do. Below, we look at 25 great website analytics tools that can either replace or expand what you get with Google Analytics. 1. Leadfeeder We built Leadfeeder so marketers and sales teams could see exactly who’s visiting their websites, even if the site visitors never fill out a contact form or send an email. At a high level, it works in conjunction with Google Analytics, identifying companies that visit your site, then finding contact info from individuals at that specific company. You’ll also be able to see exactly what your leads are looking for, which will enable you or your sales team to reach out to them with a laser-targeted sales pitch. No coding knowledge is required, simply connect your Leadfeeder account to your Google Analytics account, and you’ll instantly be up and running—including the last 30 days of visitor data. 2. Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) gives you the tools to perform experiments by A/B testing different graphical and textual on-page elements. It also gives you the ability to record visitor sessions for playback analysis. For example, one company used the live user recording feature of VWO to discover a critical shipping error that appeared randomly throughout the day. As a result, the bounce rate on that page decreased by almost 45 percent. VWO offers a free trial and asks you to contact them for pricing. 3. ClickMeter Determining the ROI of various marketing channels can be tough. ClickMeter gives you the ability to create pretty URLs and then track and analyze them by looking at over 100 different parameters. ClickMeter integrates with Google Analytics and will allow you to redirect, track, and analyze website traffic. It also gives you the ability to understand the true value of your marketing efforts and eliminate those channels that aren’t converting. Pricing starts at $29/month and tops out at $349/month. 4. PageSpeed Insights PageSpeed is a free Google tool that gives you the ability to see how fast (or slow) your website pages load. In this day and age of high-speed internet, why concern yourself with the speed of your website? Even with a high-speed internet connection, your website could experience painfully frustrating loading times. Most internet users aren’t going to wait around for more than a second or two for a page to load. A slow website could be caused by one of many different things, such as network latency, poor server optimization, or huge image/file sizes. Neil Patel from Kissmetrics performed a study and found that a single second delay in website response time can lower conversions by almost 7 percent! Pricing: Free! 5. Intercom Does your organization have a web app for iOS or Android? Intercom offers a set of robust tracking and analytical tools that will enable you to get a better understanding of who’s using your web app. With just a couple of lines of Javascript code, you can be tracking and interacting with your web app users in a matter of minutes. In addition to providing analytic stats, Intercom allows you to onboard new clients, announce new features, and ultimately improve the customer experience. Intercom has a 14-day free trial. Pricing starts at $136/month with an enterprise-level package available. 6. Domo The different departments of any given organization often find themselves (and the data they create) siloed. It’s usually up to the IT department to run comprehensive database reports that can offer actionable business intelligence. Domo connects databases, systems, and people so that all departments are seeing the same data. This not only simplifies the lives of department heads but gives the leadership team a proverbial 90K foot view of any department with a few clicks of the mouse. 7. Segment As time goes by and companies grow, so do their customer databases. Problems can arise when this data becomes unwieldy, siloed, and segmented. Even more problems can occur when there is no standard data governance plan in place. Abbreviations and variations of words can cause confusion and misleading reporting. Segment attempts to solve all of these problems by acting as infrastructure to collect, clean, and control customer data. It also integrates with a long list of tools such as Google Analytics, Salesforce, and Facebook Pixel – just to name a few. There is a limited functionality free account available. Pricing starts at $120/month. 8. PaveAI If you’ve used Google Analytics at any length, you’ve probably seen line after line of referrer spam showing up in your reports. Many people aren’t even aware that spammers and their evil bots are visiting their websites and falsely driving up page views by hiding in the traffic reports. PaveAI removes this “fake traffic” from your analytic reports, thereby giving you a clean view of your traffic levels. It works in conjunction with Google Analytics and uses the Management API to continually add new filters once referrer spam is detected. Cost: Free 9. Pingdom Much like Google PageSpeed Insights, Pingdom tests your website for various factors that could cause it to slow down. Going one step further, it will also monitor your site and server for latency issues. You can manage and monitor your websites performance, uptime, and user interactions which in turn will give you piece of mind when you’re away from the office. Pingdom offers a 14-day free trial with pricing starting at $11.95/month, all the way up to $199/month for the Professional package. 10. SimilarWeb What if you could have eyeballs on the analytics of your competitors (in a legal mannerism, of course)? SimilarWeb is a website data collection company that uses multiple data points to compile a comprehensive data set that can be used to gain actionable insights into your competitors. The eggheads, mathematicians, and data scientists employed by SimilarWeb have created a robust data platform that offers valuable insights for marketing, sales, and research. Pricing is free for a basic limited plan. They ask that you call their sales department for the enterprise-level plans. 11. Screaming Frog SEO Analytic tools are much more than looking at who is visiting your website. Screaming Frog SEO provides insightful data in the form of reports compiled by a friendly bot that scans your site for errors and other helpful data. Just enter in the URL of your website and in a few minutes (depending on the size of your site and the crawl speed of the bot), you’ll have a comprehensive technical SEO audit at your fingertips. Find and fix broken links, check for 404 pages, and analyze your onsite SEO. Screaming Frog SEO can also help find the exact location of errors found by such tools as Google PageSpeed and Pingdom. The tool has a free version that’s limited to crawling 500 URLs. The paid version starts at £149. 12. Woopra Customer data is the lifeblood of any company.

An enterprise plan is also available. 13. SEMrush SEMrush has a robust suite of SEO tools that will enable you to view the results of your SEO marketing efforts. By performing competitor analysis, looking at your backlinks, and digging deep into the data, you can get an idea of what it’s going to take to out-rank the competition. In addition to looking at backlinks, you can also monitor your brand name, perform keyword gap analysis, and monitor your social media efforts. Monthly subscriptions start at $99.95 and top out at $399.95/month. An enterprise plan is also available. 14. Moz Keyword Explorer Moz Keyword Explorer gives you the same basic functionality as SEMrush. You can view backlinks, analyze the competition, and explore potential linking opportunities. It also gives you the ability to find new keywords and content ideas by looking at the websites of you and your competitors. When used in conjunction with Google Analytics, Moz Keyword Explorer can ultimately help you discover new keyword opportunities that will drive both traffic and sales. There is a 30-day free trial and pricing starts at $99/month. 15. Cyfe Cyfe acts as an all-in-one dashboard which enables you to pull data from multiple unrelated sources such as Salesforce, Paypal, and Google Adwords. No coding experience is required. There are pre-built widgets that will automatically connect with a wide range of online tools and services.

This will help reduce bounce rate and increase conversions. Call for pricing. 19. UserTesting Analytic tools are great for uncovering hidden visitor insights. The downside is that they can’t show or tell you what your customers think. UserTesting takes website analytics one step further by getting real human beings to use and review your app or website while being recorded on video. Click here to see a video of how it works.

Facebook Insights Are you using Facebook as part of your marketing efforts? If so, then Facebook Insights can provide invaluable information on your likes, follower counts, comments, and many other data points. It will help you increase user engagement by giving you the tools you need to determine what is and what isn’t working. Facebook insights is free. 22. Google Content Experiments Google Content Experiments will help you a/b test your landing pages to determine which one converts best. It works in conjunction with Google Analytics and has extremely detailed and easy-to-understand documentation. This will enable anyone to get started a/b testing in a matter of minutes. Google Content Experiments is free. 23. GoSquared GoSquared focuses on measuring how long a visitor has been active on your website. Unlike other analytic programs, it uses a unique method of determining the length of time a user spends on your site. When someone first visits your website, a “ping” is sent to GoSquared. That ping is repeated back and forth until the person leaves your website. It works silently in the background and doesn’t disrupt the user experience. By measuring time spent on site in this way, you can get a much more accurate picture of exactly how long people are staying on your website. Prices start at $29/month, and an enterprise plan is available. 24. AW Stats AW Stats is an open-source analytics program that provides a visual representation of your data. It’s great for looking at FTP, mail, and log file statistics. The only “downside” to this tool is that it will require some coding or server knowledge to implement. If you have an internal IT department or IT company on retainer, it’s probably best to let them handle the installation of this powerful analytics software package. AW Stats is completely free. 25. Google Marketing Platform Google Marketing Platform helps you get a better understanding of how your marketing efforts are performing. It’s different from Google Analytics in that it focuses less on website statistics and more on various marketing channels. Google Marketing Platform consists of a robust set of tools that allows you to run detailed reports, manage tags, implement surveys, and optimize your paid ad campaigns. Conclusion We’re big fans of Google Analytics, of course, but GA can’t do everything. We hope the above list gives you some new ideas for tools you can use to see what’s happening on your website. With the right combination of tools, you can see more about the impact of your marketing efforts, improve your strategy, and—our favorite—gather more leads to pass on to your sales team!
