Accurate Bounce Rate Tool?

    I have used Google Analytics, Alexa and SimilarWeb. They all report different numbers.

    Google Analytics - 83%
    Alexa - 47%
    SimilarWeb - 61%

    What am I missing here? I don't know the reporting periods for Alexa and SimilarWeb, but I am guessing it is in the last 30 days. If people aren't staying on my site then I need to know why. Thank you for your time and consideration!

    I don't know about Alexa and SimilarWeb, but Google counts two types of interactions in the bounce rate: page views and events, so try adding events to your pages and then when users interact on the same page, Google will get notified, and that visit won’t be treated as a bounce.
    I use WooRank for these purposes and really love it.
