Why Take this Course?
Web analytics is a necessity in digital marketing. Web analytics gives you data so you can make decisions in your digital marketing campaigns (SEO, SEM/PPC, social media, email marketing, and so on) to increase your results. This the third of three workshop modules that show you how to install and use Google Analytics 4.0.
In this third workshop, you learn how to create your reports. In contrast to GA3, which has dozens of ready-to-use reports, GA4 offers only a few basic reports and then leaves it up to you to create the custom reports you need using the Explore tool.
Explore, the report creation tool, has dozens of options to create personalized reports that fit your organization’s needs.
This is the core idea of GA4. GA4 gives you the tools to select and present your data. Instead of using GA3’s ready-made data, you become a data analyst.
Another major new feature is predictive analytics. Google AI uses your data to predict audiences (such as men 18-24 in California who use desktop computers or women 25-34 in New York who use Android phone) who are likely to buy from you in the next seven or thirty days. You can use this to create marketing to reach those audiences.
This class uses a live connection to GA4. Instead of screenshots, we log into GA4 and use it live in this class. Everything is recorded so you can recreate the reports.
We will send you a 15-page handout with numbered steps so you can create your custom reports.
You can follow along with your GA4 account or use Google’s publicly accessible GA4 account.
(Can’t attend a live workshop? No problem. All workshops are recorded, and we’ll send you the recording, workbook and any supplementary materials within a day of completion after we’ve had time to edit the recording.)
The Google Analytics 4.0 course series is a three-module workshop series. Each part is two hours for a total of six hours. You can take the courses individually or sign up for all three for a significant discount. Take the courses either live or recorded.
