Small Business Analytics: Simple Insights Without the Complexity
Website analytics designed for small business owners. No data science degree required. Track what matters: traffic, leads, and sales.
Small Business Analytics: See What's Working
You run a small business, not a data department.
You need to know:
- Are people finding your website?
- Where do they come from?
- Are they becoming customers?
TrackFox gives you answers without the complexity.
Why Small Businesses Struggle With Analytics
The Google Analytics Problem
GA4 is built for enterprises with data teams.
For a small business owner:
- Interface is overwhelming
- Reports require configuration
- Data takes 24-48 hours
- You need training just to read it
Result: You either ignore it or spend hours confused.
The TrackFox Difference
Built for business owners, not analysts.
- Simple dashboard (see everything in 30 seconds)
- Real-time data (no waiting)
- Revenue tracking (see which marketing drives sales)
- 2-minute setup (no developer needed)

Small Business FAQ
Q: Do I need a developer?
A: No. If you can copy-paste, you can install TrackFox. Most website builders have a "custom code" section—paste the script there.
Q: How is this different from Google Analytics?
A: TrackFox is simpler. One dashboard shows everything. No training needed. Plus real-time data and built-in revenue tracking that GA4 doesn't have.
Q: Can I see who specifically visits?
A: TrackFox tracks anonymous visitors (for privacy). You see aggregate data: 500 visitors from Austin. You don't see individual names/emails unless they submit a form.
Q: What if I sell in person, not online?
A: Track leads (contact forms, phone calls) instead of revenue. When someone calls, that's a conversion. You can manually track which leads become customers.
