8 black sunglasses
8 sunglasses black
7 sunglasses for men
6 women sunglasses
5 ladies sunglasses
4 sale
4 new sunglasses
4 under 100 dollars

Would you be able to see the search queries if you have built a website with a tool like Elementor or Optimize Press and not from scratch?

I have always found the easiest thing to sell is what a person wants.

I would prefer to camp on crocodile than use elementor
The other one I didn't use before
Have you used Google analytics?

Something wrong with Elementor? I don't know code so for now I'm kinda stuck having to use a page/site builder...

In life you get 'thank you' for saving people time
Elementor wastes your time

what do you use instead?

 

[Graybeard]

I can't imagine that in today's world you cannot place Google-Analytics code with any site builder type tool ... It's just so common.

I am a bad example -- I use a text editor and raw code (20 years exp)
Only thing I can say: Is you want a text view so you can paste (or type) code into the HTML source

Always testing stuff
Every day testing new cms, new format
It's whatever will work for you
But Text Editor is best option
For SEO it is 100% best option
You can easily find all meta tags & title tags
Text editor give you complete control
There is no extra code from plugin that make slow loading

Haha great advice but I am too newb for this. How do you reckon I should get started? Since you're recommending me to not use WP plugin tools like Elementor, what's the best way for me to build out a page without knowing code?

But it does not always help in solving this situation.

I guess that right now people are looking for a peace and livelihood. Nowadays we live in digitalera that's why there are lots of opportunities to earn some money and never have needs in everything. You know this question is kinda philosophyical one that's why we can discuss on this matter for a very long time. I suppoe that people today should less bother about money. It's the only advice which I can give actually, because money is just a renewable resource, while there are other resources which can't be considered as renewable. For example, our family, friends and beloved people. W have to bother more about these things, but not about money.
