MonsterInsights vs Google Analytics!?

First of all it’s important to know that these are NOT 2 different Analytics tools.

On the first hand , Google Analytics is a web analytics service. It helps you to understand who your website visitors are, while on the other hand, MonsterInsights is a WordPress plugin that connects your website with your Google Analytics account.

So let’s crack this egg and get a little more in depth so you know the how and why. Let us start off with an overview of Google Analytics.

What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is web analytics service from Google that tracks your website traffic and provides you with very detailed information about your website visitors.

Goolge Analytics will show you:

• How many people visit your website daily, monthly, yearly, …
• Who are these visitors? How old are they? Where do they come from?
• What browser do they use? What device? Operating system What device?
• What sources bring traffic to your website? Organic search, referral, social media, direct link, …
• What do these visitors do on your website? What pages do they visite? How long do they stay? How fast they bounce off, …
• Loading speed of you website on different browsers, countries, pages, …
• How many visitors took action on your website? How many converted into clients?
• What’s your eCommerce conversion rate? How much money did you make?

The only problem with Google Analytics is that, to set it up properly and see all things we mentioned above, you need to be a developer or atleast hire a developer to get it all setup in a correct way.

On top of that, you probably would have to spend months to learn and understand the Google Analytics interface, to actually see the stats that really matter for you. Most (95%) of business owners want to focus on growing their own business and not spending their time learning how to code or how to become a Google Analytics expert.

That’s what made MonsterInsights so incredible popular.
