- Geographic data — Where your audience is located, down to city level
- Device information — What devices, browsers, and operating systems they use
- Traffic sources — Which referrers and campaigns send you the most traffic
- Link health — Whether your destination URLs are working properly
- Conversions — When link visitors complete goals on your site
