Let site visitors sign in with their email accounts, save form responses to a database, create content management systems, and more.

 Optimize your website

Make your website more engaging

Websites compete with one another for visitors, so making your site stand out is important to increase web traffic. With Sites, you can start with a strong visual style by adding colorful images, contrasting themes, and font styles. Increase interactivity by adding features, such as calendars, maps, or YouTube videos. Then, help people find your site in search results by boosting search engine optimization (SEO).

Make your website mobile-friendly

Many people access websites on their phones, so it’s important to make sure your site will run smoothly on different mobile devices. Sites automatically adjusts your website content for different screen sizes and adds functionalities for certain device types, such as tappable phone numbers to make a call. You can also increase mobile traffic with Google Ads. On mobile devices, people tend to use fewer and shorter terms, so keep your keywords concise and relevant.

Learn how: 

 

 

Collect & analyze visitor feedback

Want to get insights from customers so you can improve their overall website experience? Create an online survey to gauge site satisfaction and embed it in your website using Forms. Or, use Google Analytics to analyze visitor traffic, so you can improve marketing campaigns and site reliability.

 Keep your team on track

Keep everyone in the loop with an email list

If you want to share prototypes and status updates with your team, use Groups to set up an email list. Then, you can reach everyone with a single email address.

Learn how: Get started with Google Groups

 

 

Track team progress & schedules

When your team is working on a complex project, it can be difficult for everyone to keep up with changing deadlines, people’s progress, and the latest updates. Track feature assignments or launch deadlines using shared project plans and schedules in Sheets. Everyone can directly update their progress in real time, no matter where they are in the world.

Learn how: Get started with project plans in Sheets

Use generative AI at work

If your organization supports it, you can use the artificial intelligence add-on, Gemini for Google Workspace. Use Gemini directly in Google Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Vids, and Gmail, to help you write, visualize, organize, and connect. You can also use Gemini as a standalone experience at gemini.google.com
