Google Analytics is a free web tool which gives you a wealth of information about your website visitors, including where they’re from, how they find your website, what pages they visit, how long they visit, along with a ton of other information.
Integrating your Formilla.com account with Google Analytics will give you a better understanding of how visitors are interacting with Formilla on your website. It’s also useful for guiding your automated marketing campaigns, since the more data you have about your site visitors, the more effectively you will be able to market to them.
If you’re not using Google Analytics on your website, it’s really simple to install and you can find out how to set it up by clicking here.
Note: If you’re using Formilla with a Wix website, Google Analytics integration is not supported.
All accounts are able to utilize the Google Analytics integration with Formilla.com.
