In this article, I’ll go over five of my favorite free data analysis tools every entrepreneur should be using right now!

It’s one of the most popular analytics tools in use today and it offers a lot of information about how people are interacting with your site–even if they’re not buying anything from it yet!
Google Analytics can tell you things like:
- How many people visit each page on your site? You can see this by looking at Traffic Sources > All Traffic (or just click here).
- What pages are getting shared on social media? Look at Social > Social Referrals in order to see which links were shared most often across different platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.
