We are going to help you find the answers by providing you with details on how to use Google Analytics properly:

1.      Measuring page views

One of the easiest ways to measure content marketing success is by checking the page views. This will tell you about the popularity of the individual piece and what type of pieces are getting the most views on the website.

2.      Measure page views by source

If you want to find out what the best marketing medium is for attracting visitors to your website, you must look at measuring page views by source. This will tell you what pieces are attracting visitors, from which platform, and which ones can be improved to drive more traffic.

3.      Measure page views by title

Do you know what titles are getting the most clicks? You can easily find that out by measuring page views by titles, which will show you whether your clickbait titles are working or if using numbers in titles is translating into more clicks.
