Why you need a Google Account

A Google account is important for any serious website owner. The following are the main services that come with a free account and how they benefit you.

Google Analytics (a traffic reporter for your website)
This is the most powerful free website tracking software out there. Once installed on your website, you’ll be able to find out who’s coming to your site, where from, how long are they spending and what part of the world they’re coming from… and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Google Search Console [Google Webmaster Tools] (a doctor for your website)
