Which analytics numbers matter most?

The useful numbers depend on the page goal, but impressions, clicks, traffic source, engagement, and conversions usually belong together.

Why do Search Console and analytics tools disagree?

They measure different things, use different processing rules, and may be affected by consent, bots, time zones, and attribution.

Can analytics explain every visitor decision?

No. Analytics can reveal patterns and friction, but it cannot read minds. Use it with page reviews and real user feedback.
