Quick Tip: Learn How to Integrate Google Analytics with Hootsuite5
Recently Hootsuite released their new version of their Twitter client Hootsuite5. In this version they made a lot of changes for the good of the client. One of the new features is the integration of Google Analytics. This feature is going to be asset to any web designer, SEO consultant, and anyone who maintains a website that needs know traffic trends on their site.
How to Install Google Analytics
Setup is easy, all you need to do is activate and give Hootsuite permission to access Google Analytics. The first thing you need to do is to activate Analytics. To do this is click on the Owl Launch Button >>> Stats >> Site Analytics >>> Connect to Google Analytics >> Grant Access to popup
Once you got that up, you can now access the analytics and see a lot of different reports. Not all of the tools are on here, but you have a lot reports you can generate that are helpful and related to Twitter, referral and organic traffic, and several other test I find to be helpful when I need to figure out my traffic details at the end of the month.
Final Thoughts
I haven’t been using the Google Analytics through Hootsuite for very long, but so far, it works great and it saves me time. Because of the integration, I do not have to open up the actual site all that often now. As I use this tool more, I will go into more detail about the use of this tool and how well it works for what I need.
What are your thoughts? Are using this tool yet?
