Google Analytics
The number one thing to think about in every part of advertising is analytics. Most of these platforms (InkSoft, Facebook, Google, Yelp, Twitter) will have analytics to show you how many people have visited your page, how many people click on a link or button, how many people go to your website, and so on. These numbers are IMPERATIVE to your success!
For example, if you are spending money on advertising and noticing thatGoogle isn’t bringing you as many clicks as Twitter is, you should stop spending as much money on Google and allocate funds in the platforms that are showing more action. Do not waste your money and time on platforms that you can track success, but aren’t seeing any.

Site Verification
Verification is the process of proving that you own your site. Google needs to confirm ownership because once you are verified for a site, you have access to its private Google Search data and can affect how Google Search crawls it.
The Google Verification Meta-Tag is a snippet of HTML that Google will give to you for site verification. There are 2 ways of proving you own the site you claim to own.
- Verify through your domain registrar
- Use Alternative Method (Easiest & Recommended) to grab the HTML Tag to copy and paste into your InkSoft Admin Portal
NOTE: You can verify your site through Bing as well
