Blog Analytics
Blog content allows you to create one piece of content that you can optimize to be found on search engines, promote on your website and share on all social media channels. It also gives you the opportunity to put CTAs on your page and link to landing pages to get more leads for your company.
However, how do you know if all the time you are spending on your blog posts is working? Are people reading your blog? If so how many people are reading it? How many are sharing it on Facebook or Tweeting about it? All of these questions are crucial to your marketing campaign. Luckily, with the use of blog analytics tools on HubSpot you can answer all of these questions. The blog analytics tools shows you how many email and RSS subscribers you receive, how many people viewed each blog, how many times a blog has been shared and more.
