Founder's Take

Google Analytics is that trusty Honda Civic you recommend because it's reliable, easy to maintain, and everyone knows how to drive it. But like that same Civic, it's not flashy and definitely hits limitations fast once you try pushing it beyond the basics (especially with GA4)

Why it's used

Google Analytics (GA) is essentially the default analytics platform that almost every digital marketer interacts with at some point. It tracks user behavior on websites, helps marketers understand traffic sources, user journeys, and basic engagement metrics. It's especially popular because it's free, making it a no-brainer starting point for startups, small businesses, or side projects. It’s also frequently used alongside more robust tools, thanks to seamless integrations with Google’s other platforms like Google Ads and Looker Studio, which makes initial setup and basic reporting pretty painless.
