Why are custom fields important for data analysis in Google Analytics?

With JetOctopus, you can export data from up to 5 custom fields, allowing you to test your hypotheses and conduct SEO experiments directly. For example, you can assess the impact of SEO-optimized content on user engagement metrics such as time spent on the page and article reading completion rates. These are not standard fields in Google Analytics, so they need to be configured manually.

The power of combining Google Analytics data with JetOctopus crawl results, log data, and Google Search Console is truly remarkable. It opens up a world of possibilities for conducting comprehensive SEO analysis.
