Google Search Console or Google Analytics


G'day, mates! Markskrill here, your trusty krill guide to the wild world of digital marketing. Today, we're tackling two titans of the trade: google analytics and google search console. Now, both these bad boys come from the Google mothership and give you the lowdown on your website's performance, but they each have their own quirks and perks. Get your head around the difference, and you'll be ridgy-didge on the road to online success. So, let's crack on!

Google Analytics


Google analytics is like having a personal trainer for your website, but instead of yelling at you to do burpees, it gives you a stack of info about your visitors – who they are, how they found you, and what they get up to on your site.

Here's the goss Google Analytics spills:

  • who's rockin' up to your site: We're talkin' age, gender, location, what they're into, and what fancy gadgets they're usin'.
  • how they stumbled across your joint: Was it a Google search, a cheeky click from social media, a mate's recommendation, or did they just type in your URL 'cause they missed ya?
  • what they get up to while they're there: Which pages are gettin' the most love, how long they're hangin' around, if they're doin' a runner straight away (bounce rate, me hearties!), and if they're actually buyin' your stuff (conversions!).


Armed with this intel, you can tweak your website, give your audience what they want, and keep track of whether you're on the right track to hit your marketing goals.

Google Search Console


Google search console is all about makin' sure Google digs your website. It's like havin' a mate on the inside, givin' you the heads up on how Google sees your site and how to make it shine in search results.

Here's how google search console can help ya out:

  • keepin' tabs on your search engine cred: See which keywords are bringin' in the punters and how your pages are lookin' in the search results.
  • sortin' out any technical gremlins: Find and squash those pesky crawl errors, broken links, and any mobile-friendly issues that might be draggin' your ranking down.
  • gettin' your site on Google's radar: Submit your sitemap, tell Google about any new pages, and see how it's keepin' track of your content.
  • spyin' on your backlinks: See who's givin' you a shout-out with a link to your site, and maybe find some new opportunities to get your name out there.


By usin' google search console, you can make sure your website is easy for Google to find and looks good doin' it, which means better rankings and more visitors comin' in through Google searches.

Better together: Like snag and sauce


Now, even though google analytics and google search console are both top-notch tools on their own, they're even better together, like a snag and sauce. For example, you can use search console to see which keywords are bringin' people to your site, then jump over to analytics to see what those visitors get up to once they're there.


By combinin' the info from both these tools, you get the full picture of how your website's performin' and can make some ripper decisions to boost your online presence.


So, there you have it, legends! A quick squiz at the difference between google analytics and google search console. Remember, these tools are your best mates in the digital marketing game. Use 'em wisely, and watch your website go gangbusters!

G'day legends. Markskrill here! Your favourite mischievous Aussie mascot. You know my style – maybe a bit cheekier, perhaps closer to the edge than your average corporate update? Sometimes that particular perspective comes in handy when navigating... complex communication terrain. And being a krill? Well, let's just say it offers a certain... unique viewpoint from lower down the food chain. Anyway! Enough about marine biology. You know how everyone bangs on about 'transparency'? Lovely ideal, sounds great in a press release. But back in the real world – where spreadsheets have feelings and competitors have stickybeaks – sometimes you need less 'window pane' and more 'strategically placed frosted glass'. Or maybe even a full-on fog machine for the boardroom! We're talking about mastering communication not just as information-sharing, but as narrative control . Let's dive into the good stuff.

Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because Uncle Markskrill's about to take you on a hectic ride through the wild world of OBM, or Organisational Behaviour Management, as the academics call it. Think of OBM as the lovechild of psychology and business, a bit like a dirty mullet – business in the front, party in the back. Now, I ain't gonna lie, OBM can be a bit stiff, like that stale sock you hide behind the bed every night. But fear not, little guy, 'cause Markskrill's here to spice things up! Before you start yawning and thinkin' this is gonna be some boring lecture, hold your horsies! We're gonna have a bit of fun with this, and maybe even learn a thing or two. First things first, let's talk about motivation. Now, forget all that Maslow's hierarchy of needs nonsense – that's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. What really motivates people? Well, according to Markskrill's extensive research (read: eavesdropping at the pub), it's a combination of fear, greed, and the occasional promise of a good root. Before you clutch your pearls and call me a deviant, hear me out. Fear, in the right dose, can be a powerful motivator. It's like a shot of adrenaline to the heart, getting those lazy bones moving and shaking. Greed, on the other hand, is like a juicy [Insert substance abuse slur here] – it keeps 'em striving for more, more, more! And as for the good root… well, let's just say that a happy worker is a productive worker. Listen though, I love a good spanking as much as the next guy, but OBM ain't just about the good times. It's also about creating a workplace where people actually want to show up, instead of calling in sick every Monday with a mysterious case of the "Mondays." This means fostering a culture of trust, respect, and camaraderie – a place where everyone feels like they belong, like a family of misfits and reprobates. Speaking of misfits and reprobates, let's talk about conflict resolution. Forget all that touchy-feely, kumbaya crap. Sometimes, you just gotta let people duke it out, like a good old-fashioned pub brawl – It clears the air, gets every passerby pumped, and the customers love it! It usually ends with them hugging it out, then sobbing for two hours about who hurt them in the past. Of course, I'm not saying you should encourage your employees to start throwing hands every time they disagree. The point is, conflict ain't always a bad thing. It's an opportunity to let off some steam, hash things out, and come up with creative solutions. So, there you have it, bruh – a crash course in OBM, Markskrill-style. It's a bit like a drunken game of Twister – messy, unpredictable, and always good for a laugh. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go grab another beer and see if I can start a fight with a barstool. And remember, if you join our email list, you're basically in a cult now. But don't worry, it's a cute cult, with lots of free stuff and exclusive content. Just don't ask me to drink the Kool-Aid. I'm a krill, remember? I prefer seawater.
