4 Data-Driven Tools Every SMB Needs

Does data inform your marketing strategy? It should! Learn from your data to create better content using these amazing digital marketing tools for small businesses data analysis:

Google Search Console

Previously known as “Google Webmaster Tools”, Google Search Console is a free SMB tool that helps business owners observe, maintain, and troubleshoot their Google search results performance. Using Google Search Console gives you access to a ton of information about your website and who’s visiting it. It can help you figure out how many people are visiting your website and how they discovered it, whether they are using a mobile device or a desktop computer to access it, and which pages on your site are the most successful. It can also assist you in locating and correcting website issues, submitting a sitemap, and creating and verifying a robots.txt file.
