Google
Google Analytics is behind-the-scenes data that Google collects about the actions people take on websites. Thisi s a robust reporting platform that ikan-ikon uses to make improvements to your website, social media profiles, marketing, and can help you in your interactions with the people who visit your website and online profiles. Tagging sets up the tracking we want to be able to see. We can set up the tracking on your website, individual web pages to campaign effectiveness and the performance once on the site by tracing the actions on that page and their path as they explore your site. It tells us other things too, such as where the person came from, where they live, what type of device they are using, how long they look at things and pages on your site, etc.
Server
Servers also offer analytics with behind-the-scenes data that Google collects about the actions people take on websites. This data differs from Google's and it is beneficial to see as much data as possible to get a full picture of what happens while people are on your website. This data is similar to what Google shows us, but shows us things like location, type of device, how many people visited each page, etc.
Social Media
Social media tracks data similar to what Google provides, but it is specific to your specific profile. The benefits here include being able to see how people are responding to posts and content, how interested they are in your profile, business, content, and we can integrate your social media profiles to work seamlessly back and forth with your website, then track that information to get a big picture view of your target audiences behaviors.

What is tagging when it comes to websites?
Tagging is the code that sets up the data collection. It is added to web pages after being collected from the platforms. There are a bunch of types of tag code and the Web Developer takes the code they need for each specific purpose and adds that code with additional code to the website in the places it is needed to be able to track that data and then later look at the data to see behaviors as they relate to what they were set up to accomplish.
