# How to View Your Website Analytics on MakeOurs (2026 Guide)

Published your MakeOurs site and now wondering if anyone is actually visiting? Here's exactly where to find your analytics right on your site dashboard — page views, form submissions, and what the numbers actually tell you.

---

You published your MakeOurs site two weeks ago. You shared the link on Instagram, added it to your Google Business Profile, and sent it to a few contacts. People say they visited. But you have no idea how many people actually landed on your site, when they came, or whether the contact form you set up is receiving any enquiries at all.

This is where MakeOurs website analytics come in. They give you a clear picture of how your site is performing — page views by month and the number of form submissions your contact section has received — right on the same page where you already manage your site. It is not as complex as Google Analytics, and for most small business owners in India who want to know "is my site working?", that's exactly the point.

## 1. Where to Find Your Analytics in MakeOurs

Analytics are not tucked away in a separate menu — they sit directly on your site's main dashboard page. Log in, select the site you want to review from your dashboard, and the stat cards at the top of that page show your numbers immediately: page views, form submissions, storage used, and your last published date.

Below those cards, a **Monthly Usage** widget lets you pick a period and see the trend, and a **form submissions** panel further down the page lists every individual enquiry.

If you have multiple MakeOurs sites, each one has its own dashboard page and its own analytics — you always see data for the specific site you selected.

## 2. Analytics Requires a Live, Paid Site

One thing to know upfront: analytics is a Pro/Business feature, and it also only means something once your site is actually published. On the free plan, the page view and form-submission stat cards appear locked and blurred with an "Unlock Analytics" badge — because the free plan can't publish a site in the first place, so there's no real traffic to measure yet.

Once you upgrade to Pro or Business and publish, these numbers start counting real visits and real submissions from that point forward.

## 3. What MakeOurs Website Analytics Shows You

MakeOurs' dashboard gives you a few core numbers, front and center on your site's page:

**Page views (this period)** — the number of times your published site was loaded by a visitor. This is the primary indicator of how much traffic your site is receiving, shown against your plan's monthly limit (30,000 on Pro, 60,000 on Business).

**Form submissions (this period)** — the number of times your contact form was filled in and submitted, shown against your plan's monthly limit (2,000 on Pro, 4,000 on Business).

**Storage used** — how much of your plan's cloud storage your images and uploads are using.

**Last published** — the date you most recently pushed changes live.

---

## 4. Understanding Your Page View Data

Your page view count is tracked for the period you select in the Monthly Usage widget's period picker.

**What counts as a page view:**

- A first-time visitor loading your site
- A returning visitor loading your site again
- A visitor refreshing the page

**What to look for:**

- Is the number going up period over period? Your promotion efforts are working.
- Did a particular period show a spike? Think about what you did differently — posted on social media, shared the link in a community, got mentioned somewhere.
- Is the number very low? That's not necessarily a problem if you haven't actively promoted the site yet — it tells you the baseline before you start sharing.

## 5. Understanding Your Form Submission Data

Form submissions tell you how many people used your contact form. This is often more valuable than page views, because a submission is a real potential customer — not just a visitor.

**A healthy ratio to aim for:** for a service business site, getting 2–5% of visitors to submit the contact form is a reasonable target. If you're getting hundreds of page views per period and only one submission, something may be off — the form might be hard to find, the CTA might not be compelling, or there may be a mismatch between what visitors expect and what your site offers.

**What to do if submissions are low:**

- Submit a test entry to confirm the form is working (note: submissions made from inside the builder's preview don't count — only real visitors on your live, published site do)
- Make sure the form is placed prominently, ideally near the end of the page after your services section
- Improve the heading and CTA text on the form section
- Check whether your site's content clearly communicates what you offer and who it's for

## 6. Reading Individual Form Submissions

Below the stat cards, your site's dashboard includes a form submissions panel listing every individual enquiry — name, email, message, and the date and time it came in.

Review submissions regularly — daily if your site is actively promoted, at least weekly otherwise. Respond to every genuine enquiry, even if you can't take on the work right now. A timely, professional response builds your reputation even when the answer is "I'm fully booked for the next month."

## 7. What MakeOurs Analytics Does Not Show (And What to Do About It)

MakeOurs' built-in analytics covers the two most important metrics for a small business website: visits and enquiries. It does not provide:

- Breakdown of traffic by source (Google, Instagram, direct link)
- Bounce rate or time-on-site data
- Device breakdown (mobile vs desktop)
- Geographic location of visitors

If you need this level of detail, you can inject a Google Analytics or Meta Pixel script directly into your site through the builder's Settings tab, under Custom Code — no separate integration needed, just paste your tracking snippet into the head or body code field.

For most small business owners at the "did anyone actually visit, and did they contact me?" stage, MakeOurs' built-in numbers are enough.

## 8. Building a Simple Monthly Analytics Review Habit

Set a recurring reminder — once a month — to check your MakeOurs site dashboard. It takes about three minutes. Ask yourself:

1. How many page views did I get this period vs last period?
2. How many form submissions came in?
3. What did I do this month that might have affected these numbers?
4. What will I do differently next month?

Write the answers in a note or a simple spreadsheet. Over a few months, you'll have a clear picture of what drives traffic and enquiries to your site.

## 9. Frequently Asked Questions

### Q1: Where do I find website analytics on MakeOurs?

Log in to MakeOurs, select your site from your dashboard, and look at the top of the site's page. Page views, form submissions, storage, and last-published date all appear as stat cards there, with a Monthly Usage widget below.

### Q2: Why are my analytics locked or blurred?

Analytics is a Pro/Business feature. On the free plan, you'll see locked stat cards with an "Unlock Analytics" badge — this is also consistent with the free plan not being able to publish, so there's no live traffic to measure until you upgrade.

### Q3: Does MakeOurs show me where my traffic is coming from?

Not natively — MakeOurs shows page views and form submissions but doesn't break down traffic by source. For source-level data, add a Google Analytics script through the builder's Settings → Custom Code section.

### Q4: Can I see individual contact form submissions, not just the count?

Yes. Your site's dashboard includes a form submissions panel listing every entry with name, email, message, and timestamp.

### Q5: Do my own visits to my site count as page views?

Testing from inside the builder's preview does not count toward your analytics — those submissions and views are deliberately excluded. Visiting your live, published site from a regular browser may still count like any other visit.

## 10. Conclusion: Two Numbers That Tell You Everything You Need to Know

MakeOurs website analytics give you the two numbers that matter most for a small business website: how many people visited, and how many of them became enquiries — both visible right on your site's dashboard the moment you're live on Pro or Business.

Check your analytics once a month. Watch the trend. Make one change based on what you see, then check again next period. That simple cycle of observe, adjust, repeat is how most small business websites improve over time.
