Funnl: Boxter created the first version of Funnl analytics in 2014. Funnl was made to fill in the gaps of GA and offer additional features needed for websites doing online advertising and marketing.

- 6. How accurate is your data? Most people do not realize that the reports in Google Analytics can have a 20-30% margin of error. Explanation: Google Analytics has two issues with accuracy due to how the software works. 1. It uses sampled data, so for example if you run a report on a million visitors to your site it will only actually look at ~5% of the actual data. Even when setting reports to the highest accuracy setting the data will on average be +/-10% accurate. 2. 10-20% of your visitors are running ad blocking or privacy software that blocks GA. So these people are completely missing from your analytics data.
