You’ve probably heard that “you should check your Google Analytics”… but when you log in, it feels like trying to read a foreign language. Numbers everywhere. Charts. Bounce what?
Don’t worry—you’re not alone.
At B_Limitless, we believe data should feel empowering, not overwhelming. That’s why we’re breaking down Google Analytics in simple, real-world terms so you know how your website is performing—without needing to be a developer or data analyst.
This is your guide to understanding Google Analytics basics (and actually making use of the numbers you see).
What Is Google Analytics (And Why Does It Matter)?
Google Analytics is a free tool that shows you how people find and use your website.
It answers questions like:
-
How many people visited my site?
-
Where did they come from?
-
What pages are they looking at?
-
Are they doing what I want them to do (like contact me or download something)?
-
Are they bouncing right away?
It’s like getting behind-the-scenes access to what’s happening on your site 24/7.
6 Key Google Analytics Terms You Actually Need to Know
Let’s simplify the dashboard. Here are the only metrics most small business owners need to look at regularly:
Users
This is how many individual people visited your site.
💡 Think of it like how many customers walked into your digital store.
Sessions
This is how many times your website was visited (one user can have multiple sessions).
💡 One person can visit your site more than once—that’s multiple sessions from one user.
Bounce Rate
The percentage of people who landed on your site and left without clicking anything.
💡 A high bounce rate can mean they didn’t find what they needed—or your site loaded too slow.
👉 See Why Speed Matters
Pages per Session
How many pages each visitor looks at during their visit.
💡 The higher the number, the more engaged your visitors are.
Average Session Duration
How long people spend on your site per visit.
💡 The longer, the better (usually). Short times might mean your content isn’t engaging—or your site isn’t easy to navigate.
Traffic Sources
Where your visitors came from:
-
Organic Search (Google)
-
Direct (typed your URL)
-
Referral (linked from another site)
-
Social (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
💡 This tells you which channels are actually working for your marketing!
How This Helps You Make Better Decisions
When you understand your data, you can:
-
Double down on what’s working (more of that content, more of that traffic source!)
-
Fix what’s not (like a slow or high-bounce page)
-
Spot trends early (Is traffic dipping? Is engagement dropping?)
It also helps you talk to your web team (hi 👋) about improvements with confidence.
💡 If your bounce rate is high or pages per session are low, your site might need optimisation.

B_Limitless provides secure, strategic, and professional website care based on the tools, access, and services within your selected package. While we proactively monitor, maintain, and support your website, we cannot guarantee 100% uptime, SEO rankings, or uninterrupted functionality.
