Analytics & Data FAQs
Do I need Hotjar if I already have Google Analytics?
Yes. Google Analytics tells you where traffic comes from. Hotjar shows what people actually do on those pages. Together they give a complete picture.
Is Plausible a good Google Analytics alternative?
For most growing teams, absolutely. It is GDPR-compliant without cookie banners, loads faster, and shows the data teams actually use.
What is the most important metric to track?
One metric tied to revenue. For SaaS: trial-to-paid conversion. For content: organic sessions. For ecommerce: revenue per visitor. Pick one north star.
