Mobal's analytics are designed to give you a clear overview of how your activity impacts local listings, showing the growth and trends month over month.
The data is intentionally simplified and aggregated to help you see the overall effect of your efforts without getting bogged down in overly granular details. This is not a tool for making in-depth business decisions but for understanding the significance of your online activity.
We believe that it doesn’t matter whether users find you via desktop or mobile—the key is that they find and engage with your listings.
