You may be looking in google analytics and wondering why you are not getting much or why you have a high bounce rate. There may be some easy ways you can make your site a better experience for visitors and thereby getting it in the good graces of Google and other search engines. You might find some broken links, a problem with the speed of the site, some poor site organization, issues with images, caching, etc. If you are on a tight budget, instead of paying someone, it is very easy to plug it worth looking into a tool every once in a while.
