  • Who’s using your site
  • How they found it
  • Which pages they visit
  • How long they stay on your pages for
  • What actions they take on your pages
  • What their interests are

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when you’re selling to leads or customers from across the globe; you’ll have to tailor your ads, website, landing pages and more to be relevant to each market that you enter.
