Wherever possible, Andreas adds tips, notes, and insights to the slides, so you get information and his experience.
Note: Google Analytics 3.0 versus Google Analytics 4.0
Google released a new version of analytics in late 2020. Although they call it an update, it’s a major shift in analytics. Google Analytics 3.0 (GA 3.0) tracks web pages (clicks, visitors, and so on), but Google Analytics 4.0 (GA 4.0) tracks audiences, but not pages or visitors. We have prepared a course on GA 4.0 which you can read about here. This current course series focuses on Google Analytics 3.0. Google will continue to offer Google Analytics 3.0. Organizations can (and should) use both GA 3.0 and GA 4.0 because these do different things.
What You’ll Learn in this Workshop:
In this workshop we will go through the first two major report sections of Google Analytics 3.0: Audience and Acquisition.
We will cover the first two major sections of Google Analytics:
- Audience: Who is visiting your website?
- Acquisition: How did those visitors find your website?
Knowing who your visitors are, you can make changes to your website that will appeal to your audience. You will also know where to focus your marketing effort. If your audience is arriving via search engines, then you can do more with search engines. But if they are coming via social media, you can put your efforts there. Analytics gives you an understanding of your audience.
This helps you in internal meetings that discuss where to allocate budget and staff. Should the website be translated to French? Is there a market in Mexico? Should your website be designed for desktop users or only mobile users? All of this, and many more questions, can be settled with analytics data.
We will go through the Audience and Acquisitions reports, menu by menu, and then a live walk-through of the data so you can see how to find information.
You’ll also learn how to use segmentation in your analytics data. For example, you can separate and compare the traffic by desktop versus mobile users. This is easy to do and has a powerful impact in presenting your data.
Key Takeaways:
-
- How to use segmentation to refine the view of your data. You can create your own data segments and then compare your data by desktop, mobile, and tablets. You can also compare traffic sources such as direct, organic, search, paid, and referral. You’ll see more examples of segmentation. You’ll see complete examples of setup, configuration, and use so you can start using this. Your presentations will be much better.
- We then look at the Audience Report, the first of the major reports. Who is visiting your website? We can see their age, gender, and the language and device they use.
- We can also see what they’re interested in and what they are buying on the web.
- You can also see their location by continent, country, state, and city. This lets you decide where to show your ads (or turn them off).
- A powerful feature is benchmarking, which shows how your digital marketing compares against your competitors. You can see if you should increase efforts in a channel.
- By knowing your audience, you can design articles and images that appeal to them. You can also make decisions about pages, translations, markets, and so on. You can use this to choose better ads, content, and images for your digital marketing.
- In the second half of the workshop, we look at the Acquisition Report. This shows you how your visitors came to your website.
- This includes visitors from search engines, paid search (paid search, Google Ads, SEM), email, and your social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and 62 additional social media sites).
- The Acquisitions Report in Google Analytics shows you the keywords that triggered your ads, the keywords that triggered your pages in search results, how your pages rank in Google.
You also see which social media sites send visitors to your site.
- We close this session with slides about the difference between free and paid versions of Google Analytics, including how to know if you’ve reached the limit for a free account.

Testimonials
Andreas was an exciting and engaging speaker with real mastery of the data. He got ideas to stick by using real-world examples and taught us how to actually gain insights to the data we were getting.
I thought this workshop was great! I really enjoyed the information and think it will be helpful to share to others on my team.
Before, I would just create reports, not necessarily knowing what else to do with the reports, but this workshop has helped me utilize the data so that I can tweak and improve my marketing efforts and create new methods of SEO research and website improvement.
Very useful seminar with actionable items that anyone can implement!
I did not know much about Google Analytics, I signed up for a 3 part webinar and there is so much to learn, participating in these sessions has given me a great insight and is getting me started on my way to a better understanding.
I really appreciated how I could follow along with my own account, so I understood how to do it myself, rather than just listening.
When I take the time to enroll in a course and take time away from my day-to-day demands, I need it to be worth my time. This course was a VERY valuable use of my time.
Andreas is knowledgeable and shares anecdotes that help you to understand a concept. Additional information including answers to audience questions is added to the final handouts giving a complete package from the webinar. I will definitely attend more webinars.
The intermediate course was the perfect amount of information to build off of what we learned in the beginner course. it was very useful to go in-depth on the acquisition portion of google analytics to see what is really driving traffic to your site.
These webinars are a great way to get a handle on the analysis you need for your website and the actionable steps you can make for improvement.
This is a very useful webinar!
This was a really informative and very helpful workshop. Even as a person who is familiar with Google Analytics, I learned things!
Presenter clearly has great and practical advice and tips.
This course is very intuitive and thorough.
I thought it was great and I’d love to continue to take these courses!
Very useful seminar with actionable items that anyone can implement!
