Module 14 · Lesson 5
Ninety-Day Website Improvement Plan
Turn analytics evidence into a prioritised improvement roadmap.
Why It Matters
Turn analytics evidence into a prioritised improvement roadmap.
Good analytics is not about collecting every possible number. It is about answering useful questions accurately enough to improve the website.
Practical Method
- Start with a question. Decide what you need to understand before opening a report.
- Choose the correct source. Use Analytics for on-site behaviour, Search Console for Google Search performance and Site Kit for convenient WordPress summaries.
- Check the date range and filters. Avoid comparing unlike periods or filtered data.
- Look for context. Campaigns, seasonality, website changes and small sample sizes can alter results.
- Record one action. Make a measured improvement, note the date and review the effect later.
Ian's practical tip: Never change a page because one number looks low. Check the goal, traffic source, date range and visitor intent first.
Practice Task
Open the most relevant report for this lesson. Record the date range, one useful observation, one possible explanation and one action worth testing.
