However, at Walker Sands, we know it’s possible to gain insight into the effectiveness of PR programs with Google Analytics. With everything shifting to digital, it’s advantageous for companies to use Google Analytics for valuable insights and metrics. Strong PR will strengthen a company’s bottom line, so it’s critical to gain a solid sense of the quantitative impact of PR on business and sales growth.

To improve your marketing analytics and PR measurement capabilities, sign up for Google Analytics. It is a free tool available for anyone to use after registering at https://www.google.com/analytics.
You will need to include a small piece of JavaScript code in the HTML of every page of your website. Once you’ve created your Google Analytics account, you can log in and register your website. When you configure your settings, Google Analytics will prompt you to download the HTML coding on your website. After completing this step, Google Analytics will track every visit to your website and web pages, and you are on your way to leveraging marketing analytics to measure PR success.
