How to Integrate Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools

January 25, 2015 by Deepak Kanakaraju

Google analytics and Webmaster tools are two great tools by Google which helps webmasters get insights about their website. However, they perform slightly different functions in how they gather and report data.

Google analytics is more about what happens in your website once visitors enter your website. Webmaster tools is mostly about the Google search engine and what happens before people click on your website link.

Hypothetically, If you have no intention of getting traffic from the Google search engine, you would have no need of Webmaster tools.

content-marketing-seo Search engines and search engine optimization have come a long way since the past decade. Search engines came into existence basically as the evolution of classified directories and yellow pages where people would go to find information about local businesses. Even I remember picking up the yellow pages book to find something that I needed.

Now I don’t think people use yellow pages anymore. But there are a lot of striking similarities between yellow pages and search engines. In yellow pages you would find some ads along side the “organic” results. Some of the will be targeted too! So the basic business model for both of them is: provide information that can be used and once you get the audience’s attention earn some revenue via advertising.

Search engines of today are just yellow pages with magic in it. You can think of them like the magic newspapers in the magical world of Harry Potter. Images move and text can rearrange itself! It is fun when you think about it like that.

The world wide web being so flexible not only displays business information through various websites but also hosts newspapers, magazines and BLOGS! Now with improving technology, the WWW is soon set to replace the TV as an entertainment medium.

Quality Search Experience

The responsibilities of the search engines are to organize the world’s information so that the most relevant information shows up when specific “keywords” are searched for in the search bar. Each search engine has a specific way to rank these results. Google, the search engine with the biggest market share, claims to have more than 200 unique ways by which they consider which website to rank first, which to rank 2nd and so on.

If you are a part of an SEO agency an individual SEO consultant, you will find the following tips useful.

1. Establish Your Authority

SEO is a fast changing field. A lot of people have misconceptions and misinformation about SEO. How you think about SEO is completely different from how your client thinks about SEO. If you think you can “teach” your client about SEO, it may backfire because it hurts their ego. Though you have been hired only because they think you are good, it still helps to establish your authority in this field. Demonstrate how you have helped previous clients achieve their organic traffic goals. Show your achievements and results before you get started. A good personal connection with the key decision makers on the client’s side helps a lot in getting results fast.
