Add an analytics tool to track civic usage #17

Open meganmckissack opened 7 years ago

A tool like Google Analytics will help us understand our overall traffic numbers as well as details on traffic patterns and behavioral patterns.

Which tool to use is an open question. Google Analytics is the de facto free standard, but there's something to be said about handing this data over to a third party as well as collecting more data than we're using just because we can.

Would like to add google analytics and get help with seo so that we can track civic usage for reporting and be able to show up in search engines quickly.

Leaving this as an open-ended issue, there are definitely opportunities for improvement here.

I hijacked this ticket to focus exclusively on the analytics piece.

Analytics is a full-time thing - if you build it you'll need to dedicate a fair amount of person-hours to wrangling it. Yes, it's a good idea. Maybe read Badass first ;-) I think it's in our library.
