Are you ready to take Google Analytics to the next level?

So you know a thing or two about Google Analytics, huh? Great. That data-driven mindset puts you ahead of 60% of marketers today.

Now it’s time to join that top 10% of Google Analytics experts.

It’s time to find the insights that will take your campaigns, site and career to the next level.

You don’t know what you don’t know

Remember when you were starting out and you’d open Google Analytics, take a look at your sessions for the month and then close the browser?

You’ve come a long way.

But there are still plenty of insights hiding below the surface you’ve managed to scrape so far. The truth is, you just don’t know what you don’t know.

You’ll start by learning how to build audiences, which will not only uncover powerful new insights about your visitors, but allow you to run more effective acquisition and retention campaigns as well.

Skills you will master

Customization is king

It starts with a Google Analytics configuration that’s customized for you and your business.

That’s why you’ll spend a significant amount of time on how to customize based on your business and particular use case.

Custom dimensions, custom reports, custom metrics, custom everything.

Your Google Analytics will be designed just for you and your specific needs.

Kick last click attribution to the curb

If you’re like most marketers, you’re still relying on last click attribution. The problem? You’re missing out on a lot of conversion and funnel insights.

You need to understand and visualize how your visitors actually convert. Last click attribution won’t give you that.

Learn exactly how many touches occur before the conversion, exactly how long it takes, exactly how all of your channels are working together.

Dive deeper into content performance, ad spend ROI, and more

Is the content team spending their time wisely? Is the PPC team? How about the social team?

To be a data-driven marketer who makes meaningful business decisions based on real insights, you’ll need to dig beyond the basics. You’ll need to mine for data that proves ROI.

You’ll learn how to better spend your marketing time and money.
