Plan the visitor journey

Read page analytics without confusing clicks with sales

A page view records an access and a click records an action toward a destination. Neither proves a visitor booked, purchased or read every section. Repeated visits and automated requests can affect totals.

Build and test the details

Name buttons by purpose and separate enquiries from bookings. When a button changes purpose, record the date before comparing old and new results. Keep the reporting period consistent across reviews.

Review after publishing

Use the booking or sales system to confirm outcomes. If many visitors click but few finish, inspect the destination experience. Record differences in timezone and measurement before interpreting a discrepancy as a product problem.

Try this workflow

Open Pages, preview a template and choose Use template to edit a copy. Replace sample destinations before publishing. Templates, contact details and page analytics are free; custom-domain hosting starts with Starter or the one-time 7-day domain trial.

Save a draft during review, then publish and test each action on a phone. Keep the owner and next review date with your working notes. See current plans for package details.
