First impressions
GA allows you to understand what kind of first impression you are making on your website visitors. It lets you know your bounce rate; aka, the number of people who leave your website after viewing only one page. If your bounce rate is high, then you need to reconsider your home page.
Who, what, where
GA provides you with a fully rounded understanding of your audience, allowing you to better cater for them. It can indicate what they want by revealing details such their location, empowering you with information for some serious targeting campaigns. Most importantly, it shows you where on your website they are looking, helping you understand what you need to improve and what is working for you – depending on your business goals.
