Ever wondered how many people have actually read your latest blog post or visited your contact page? If you’re running a website, knowing which pages get the most traffic can tell you a lot about what’s working — and what might need improving.

At Polyspiral SEO & Hosting, we often get asked this question, and the good news is: if you’re already using Google Analytics, you’ve got the answer at your fingertips.

The Tools You Might Already Have

There are lots of different analytics tools out there, but here’s what each of the most common ones really tells you:

• Google Analytics (GA4) – Shows you actual page visits, views, and user engagement.

• Google Search Console (GSC) – Shows you how people find your site in Google search (clicks, impressions, average ranking), but not total visits.

• Ahrefs (and other SEO tools) – Estimates traffic based on search rankings, great for competitor research, but not true visit counts.

👉 For real visitor numbers, Google Analytics is the one you want.

Finding Page Visits in Google Analytics (GA4)

Here’s a quick step-by-step:

1. Log in to Google Analytics.

2. Go to Reports → Engagement → Pages and screens.

3. You’ll see a list of your pages, along with useful metrics:

   • Views → how many times the page was loaded.

   • Active users → unique people who viewed it.

   • Average engagement time → how long people stuck around.

4. Use the search bar to find a specific page. You don’t need to paste the whole URL — just the part after your domain name. For example:

   • /contact-us/

   • /blog/why-dots-in-file-names-are-bad/

Even typing part of the page path (like contact or file-names) will bring it up.

1. Tick the box next to the page to focus the chart and data on that one.

Pro Tip: Save Time with a Custom Report

If you find yourself checking the same pages often — like your homepage, contact page, or key blog posts — you can create a saved exploration or custom report in GA4. That way, you can check those numbers at a glance without having to search every time.

Why It Matters

Knowing which pages get the most attention helps you:

• See what content resonates with your audience.

• Spot underperforming pages that may need updating.

• Measure whether your marketing is driving people to the right places.

At Polyspiral SEO & Hosting, we help our clients not just track these numbers, but use them to make smarter decisions about their websites and online presence.
