Website Development and SEO and GTM - A Google Sites Case Study

Project Overview

This project demonstrates an end-to-end implementation of website development, SEO, and analytics tracking for a Google Sites-based business (“Ayam Kampung Bandung”).

The website was intentionally built using Google Sites to simulate a low-barrier, no-code environment commonly used by small businesses, while still ensuring proper structure for search visibility.

From an empty setup, the project involved designing a functional landing page, structuring content based on local search intent, and implementing Google Analytics to capture user behavior and conversion intent (WhatsApp clicks).

Within the first phase, the website was successfully published, indexed by Google, and began generating initial impressions and user interactions — validating both the technical setup and early-stage SEO performance.

Objectives

  • Increase search visibility on Google

  • Track user behavior

  • Measure WhatsApp conversion

Problem

  • The website was not appearing in Google search results

  • No user behavior data was available

  • No conversion tracking was implemented

Action

  • Structured page hierarchy to align with search intent (title, headings, FAQ)

  • Submitted and monitored indexing via Google Search Console

Tracking
 

  • Set up Google Analytics (GA4)

  • Implemented event tracking (WhatsApp click, scroll tracking)
