By tracking website traffic and performance, you can also improve brand awareness. For example, if the bounce rate is shown too high, it means that most of your visitors leave the website without reading or scrolling anything. And that hurts your brand because you’re driving customers away without letting them know who you are.
Therefore, you have to identify what causes the high bounce rate. It could be that your web pages are loading too slowly. Fixing it will ensure your website runs smoothly to serve your customers and helps with your brand awareness.

Good blogging also improves SEO, which helps make your brand more visible on search engines. The best blogs would appear on the first page of a Google search whenever the keyword is entered. So you can imagine how that would greatly help with brand awareness.
But perhaps the most helpful measurement of brand awareness would be the amount of ‘Shares’ and ‘Reach’ of each post. ‘Reach’ is how many people come across your post while ‘Shares’ is, as you can guess, how many times your post is shared. These two metrics are valuable to track how much exposure your brand is getting on social media.
