# Analytics and measurement

GA4, Microsoft Clarity and Search Console, read for what they say about enquiries: tracking that works, signals that matter, numbers you can defend.

1. ## [What is a good bounce rate, and why GA4 engagement rate matters more](https://postcliq.com/blog/what-is-a-good-bounce-rate) In GA4, bounce rate is the share of sessions that were not engaged, and most published benchmarks cannot be traced to a study. Here is what a good bounce rate means, the benchmark you can defend, and the metric that matters more. Nirmal Gyanwali
2. ## [Microsoft Clarity vs Hotjar (2026): which one does a marketing team need?](https://postcliq.com/blog/microsoft-clarity-vs-hotjar) Clarity is free with no traffic limits.

5. ## [GA4 key events for lead generation: track every enquiry properly](https://postcliq.com/blog/ga4-key-events-for-lead-generation) On a lead generation site, GA4 key events should be your enquiries: form sends, phone taps, email clicks and bookings.

6. ## [GA4 audit checklist: the checks that find missing enquiries](https://postcliq.com/blog/ga4-audit-checklist) A GA4 audit checks whether Google Analytics 4 records every enquiry, credits it to the right channel and keeps the data long enough to use. Here are 18 checks, ordered by what finds missing enquiries fastest. Nirmal Gyanwali
7. ## [Dead clicks and rage clicks: what they tell you about lost enquiries](https://postcliq.com/blog/dead-clicks-and-rage-clicks) A dead click gets no response. A rage click is several fast clicks on the same spot. On an enquiry page, both mark the moment a motivated visitor tried and the page failed them. Here is how to find them and what to fix.

8. ## [What is a conversion rate? What the number actually means, and six ways it misleads](https://postcliq.com/blog/what-a-conversion-rate-actually-means) A conversion rate is conversions divided by visits. Both halves are choices somebody made, which is why benchmarks disagree and why yours needs a written definition before anyone judges it. Nirmal Gyanwali
9. ## [Google Ads not converting?
