Analytics for freelance consultants

A freelance consultant's analytics needs are modest but scattered — your own site, maybe two or three client sites, none of them big enough to justify an enterprise tool or the time to configure one. Orbit's Boards put all of them in one view, and a public share link means you can hand a client proof of traffic without booking a screen-share.

What makes analytics hard for freelance consultants

  • A handful of small sites — your own plus a couple of clients' — doesn't justify an enterprise analytics contract.
  • No time to configure GA4 properties and consent banners for every small client project.
  • Clients want proof the site is getting traffic, not a walkthrough of a dashboard they'll never open again.
  • Juggling logins across your own site and each client's separate analytics account.

Where Orbit fits

  • Boards for your site plus client sitesSee your own site and every client site you manage in one combined Board instead of logging into a separate account for each.
  • Public share linksSend a client a live link to their dashboard instead of scheduling a call to walk them through the numbers.
  • Free to start, €4.99/mo for 5 sitesThe free plan covers your own site at no cost; Starter's 5-website limit fits a typical freelance client roster without jumping straight to an unlimited plan.
  • Single-screen dashboardNothing to explain to a non-technical client — the dashboard reads clearly on its own, without a training session.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track my own site and my clients' sites under one account?

Yes — Starter (€4.99/mo) covers up to 5 websites on one account, which fits most freelance rosters, and Boards let you see all of them together.

How do I give a client access without adding them as a full team member?

Invite them as a view-only team member on their specific site, or send a public share link that needs no account at all.

Do I need to worry about cookie consent on client sites I build?

Not for Orbit's tracking specifically — it sets no cookies, so it doesn't trigger a GDPR consent-banner requirement on its own.

Is Orbit worth it for a client with very low traffic?

If the client only needs to know 'is anyone visiting,' Orbit's simple dashboard answers that without either of you learning a heavier tool built for much bigger sites.
