Knowing as much about your web visitors as possible is key to creating content they want to read. From speed to mobile optimization, it's important to know what will keep visitors coming back. This infographic will help walk you through the process of analyzing your data to give your visitors what they're looking for.

How to Improve Your Content by Analyzing Visitor Behavior

To improve your content marketing efforts, you need to study your existing content, then combine that information with what you know about both your audience and your competition. With thorough, qualitative analysis, you’ll get valuable data, including visitors’ preferences, interests, and when they're most likely to convert.

First, find out if your existing content is mobile optimized. Nearly half of consumers expect a site to load in less than two seconds, so you may lose conversions just because of slow site speed. Once your site runs quickly, make sure it guides visitors through the funnel. Find information in Google Analytics about your visitors’ behavior and where they spend time on your site. Once you have your data, create new content based on these findings to make your funnel more efficient.

Google Analytics offers a wealth of information for content marketers: pageviews, pages/visit, average dwell time, and more. Review your data and you’ll find that visitors - through their actions on your site - are telling you what content they enjoy most.
