> but with Google Analytics... No: "Search does not use Google Analytics for ranking" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLmO1GE4GvI https://www.youtube.com/watch

  I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying Google analytics will get you ranked higher or lower. Just that Google can use the data from analytics to tell if their results were what the user wanted.

    > tell if their results were what the user wanted That's ranking.

      That's validating the rank. Ranking is done in another step. If they use the data for ranking, they'll lose the huge amount of value it has for validating.

    It doesn't even have to link the results to a specific user, linking them to the search terms is enough. It's possible to achieve something similar by measuring bounce rate, but in any case, the sheer number of searches is what matters. For new entrants, this kind of expertise will be very hard to get.
