In our ten years of doing agency work, we feel Google Analytics can show childcare owners exactly which parts of their website attract potential families and where they might be losing them.
By looking at metrics like page views, bounce rates, and conversion paths, we can find ways to improve your enrollment numbers. For example, making minor changes to a single page based on this data could lead to more inquiries. We can help you use this information to refine your marketing strategies and connect better with local families. Understanding the data is the first step; acting on it could change how you engage with your community.
