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, and so on) to increase your results. This workshop is module 3 in a three-module workshop series that shows you how to install and use Google Analytics 3.0.

In the third Google  Analytics 3.0 workshop, we cover the last two major reports: Behavior and Conversions:

  • The Behavior report shows you what your visitors are doing on your website. What are the entrance pages to your site? What pages do they look at? What pages do they ignore? This is all practical information to make changes to your website. You quickly see if the change was good or bad so you can make further changes. You’ll see how to select the pages to improve. By improving the bounce rate for a page, you’ll have more visitors, leads, and sales. In addition, the better the bounce rate, the higher the page will show up in Google.
  • The Conversion report also gives you practical information. If a page in your conversion path is leaking too many users, you can fix that page to get the users to go to the next step in the conversion path. This increases conversions without additional marketing. You’ll also see how to set up conversion tracking and visualize the data with a conversion funnel. This is very useful with clients and decision-makers.
  • Additional items about Google Analytics 3.0: Heat maps, access permissions, multiple websites in one analytics account, Google Data Studio, analytics on your mobile, and insights.
  • Finally, one we’ll give you a list of the six best reports in Google Analytics 3.0.

(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.

Key Takeaways:

  • Use heat maps to see where your visitors click on your pages.
  • You can pull all of the data into one analytics report if you have several websites.
  • You can flow your data into Google Data Studio to create better presentations.
  • The Google Analytics app lets you use Google Universal Analytics on your iPhone or Android phone.
  • How to use the Insights panel for additional business information.
  • The Behavior report shows you how visitors flow through your website.
  • Landing pages, the different definitions, and what it means for Google Analytics.
  • Deep dive into the Bounce Rate report. See the bounce rate for a page and how to fix it. First, you can see from where the visitors came and the keywords they used, which may help you to make changes to the page, so it offers what they expected to see. Going further, you can see the page’s bounce rate over time. You can use this to make a change to the page and then see if the change improved (or hurt) the bounce rate. By testing changes, you can improve the page’s bounce rate.
  • We also give you guidelines about bounce rates: good, okay, and poor.
  • The Behavior report also shows two reports for the loading speed of a page. This helps you decide where to start.
  • You can also see the search terms people use in your site’s search box. This helps you to improve the navigation or give you ideas for additional products.
  • We look at the Conversions Report. You use the Conversions Report to track goals. You can see if a page in your conversion path is leaking too many users. By fixing that page you get the users to go to the next step in the conversion path, so you can increase conversions without additional marketing.
  • You’ll see how to configure goals. Just about anything can be tracked at websites.
  • Conversion can include engagement, such as the number of downloads in the last 30 days, how often a video was watched, how many used the mortgage calculator, how many reached five pages in your website, or how many spent (for example) five minutes on the site in the last 30 days.
  • Conversion can include lead generation (lead gen), such as how often an information request form was submitted, the email link was clicked, or how many people subscribed to the newsletter.
  • Conversion can include sales. You can track the number of purchases per quarter, the amount of revenue on average per week for the last six months, and so on.
  • We will also see how to visualize the data with a conversion funnel. This clearly shows the steps that visitors take in the conversion path and where they drop out of the path. By fixing these pages, you increase your conversions without additional marketing.
  • We close with a list of the six best reports in Google Analytics 3.0.
  • In addition, there is a list of resources from Google, including Google’s internal information library, links, and other eBooks.

Lindsay MartinHigh Point Market

Google Analytics can be overwhelming with the amount of information that is available. The DMAnc.org seminar breaks everything so easily understood by those new to Analytics but also offers enough details for those who have been using for a while.

Susan BeohmerleMarketing Manager, C. A. Litzler Co., Inc.

The Google Analytics Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced Webinar was extremely informative. It not only set the foundation for how to use GA, but also provided some actionable insights on how to pull the data to inform better marketing decisions. I now have a more comprehensive understanding of GA and will be able to implement some of the recommendations provided by Andreas.

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 cover the Google Analytics 3.0 Behavior and Conversions reports, menu by menu, and then a live walk-through of the data so you can see how to use these.

  • Behavior: What are your visitors doing at your website? Now that we know about them and how they came to your website, let’s look at what they’re doing on the website. Which pages are they looking at? What is the bounce rate? By knowing which pages attract visitors, you can get more visitors by improving those pages. Bounce rate is one of the key metrics for a website: it shows whether visitors think your webpage is interesting or boring. When you make changes to the page, the data quickly shows you if the changes were good or bad. You can optimize a page and get more visitors and conversions without additional marketing, just by keeping the traffic that you already get.
  • Conversions: The fourth and final report in analytics covers conversions. Conversions can be downloads, registrations, signups, visits to specific pages, and sales. Analytics shows you the visitors are buying or registering at your website. By knowing that, you can focus your efforts to find more of those visitors. You’ll see how to install conversion tracking. The conversion funnel shows you each step of your visitors’ path to conversion and where they are exiting the path. By knowing that, you can improve the path to get more sales. The cool thing about analytics is that you don’t have to be an expert at marketing: you just look at the data, see where there are problems, and then make changes and see which ones improve the results.
  • We’ll close with notes about the reality of using Google Analytics at companies.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to use the Insights panel for additional information.
  • Look at user flow display in the Behavior report.
  • Landing pages, the different definitions, and what it means for Google Analytics.
  • Deep dive into the Bounce Rate report. How to see the bounce rate for a page and how to fix that. First, you can see from where the visitors came and the keywords they used, which may help you to make changes to the page so it offers what they expected to see.
  • Going further, you can see the page’s bounce rate over time. You can use this to make a change to the page and then see if the change improved (or hurt) the bounce rate. By testing changes, you can improve the page’s bounce rate.
  • We also give you guidelines about bounce rates: good, okay, and poor.
  • The Behavior report also shows the loading speed of a page.
  • The Conversion report also gives you practical, immediate information. You can see if a page in your conversion path is leaking too many users. By fixing that page to get the users to go to the next step in the conversion path, you can increase conversions without additional marketing.
  • In the second part of today’s webinar, we look at the Conversions Report.
  • You use the Conversions Report to track goals. This can be used by practically every organization: companies, non-profits, government, churches, hospitals, education, and so on.
  • Engagement can include the number of Downloads in the last 30 days, how often a video was watched, how many used the mortgage calculator, how many reached five pages in your website, or how many spent (for example) five minutes on the site in the last 30 days.
  • For lead generation (lead gen), you can see how often the information request form was submitted, the email link was clicked, or how many people subscribed to the newsletter.
  • If your website has sales, you can track the number of purchases per quarter, the amount of revenue on average per week for the last six months, and so on.
  • You’ll see how to configure a goal. Just about anything can be tracked at websites.
  • We will also see how to visualize the data with a conversion funnel. This clearly shows other teams and upper management the success (or failure) of your conversion process.
  • We close with a few quick slides on how to use Google Analytics for your organization’s several websites.
  • How to see heat maps with analytics.
  • The limits and problems in tracking.
  • Google Analytics app for your smartphone.
  • The last page has a list of the six best features in Google Analytics 3.0.

How to SEO Optimize Your Website for Mobile-first

Update: Google announced in late November 2021 the speed of webpages will also apply to desktop search in 2022 (no date has been set). What it means is when people search at Google in either desktop or mobile, the page’s speed is part of the ranking. If there are two pages and everything is equal, the faster page will rank higher. This Mobile-first course has been expanded to cover both desktop and mobile. The time to prepare your website is now so you don’t lose valuable clicks, clients and revenue to competitors.

This workshop is led by Andreas Ramos, author of 22 books on digital marketing. He was the Head of Global SEO at Cisco, where he worked with 44 languages in 85 countries. He also founded three digital agencies (one with 170 staff) and was the head of the digital agency at Acxiom, which did digital marketing for Fortune 200 companies. Andreas has trained dozens of interns and staffers and he brings that knowledge to you this two-hour workshop where you’ll learn about updating your website for Google’s Mobile-first indexing.

Our Goal

In this workshop, you will learn how update your website for Google’s switch to Mobile-first indexing that took place in mid-June 2021, and the coming switch to 100% Mobile-first indexing and Google Core updates in 2022. You will get clear examples of what this means and step-by-step actionable tactics that you can apply to your organization’s website, so that you do not experience a radical drop off in traffic. You’ll also see how to measure your website to see if it will be compliant with Google’s standards. Examples, links, and code will be included in the workshop that you can copy, edit, and paste.

Why Update to Mobile-first

Whenever Google rolls out a major core update such as Mobile-first indexing, hundreds of thousands of websites suddenly find their traffic takes a nosedive — and they will be scrambling to triage the problem. Many marketing people may lose sleep and their jobs over their lack of preparation for this core update.

What You’ll Learn

  • What is Mobile-first? Why websites must update their sites for Google’s Mobile-first Google Core Update in 2022. What happens if they don’t?
  • How to see the trend in mobile traffic at your site.
  • The difference between responsive design and Mobile-first design.
  • Why most visitors actually have a much slower connection than expected.
  • Google’s CWV metrics for Mobile-first: FCP, LCP, CLS, FID: what these mean and how to see the scores.
  • Examples of good and bad Mobile-first design: placement of buttons, tracking tags, and content.
  • Should you rebuild your website for Mobile-first?
  • How to look at your analytics, ranking, and competitors.
  • How to reduce the text on your site.
  • The impact of images and speed. Which images to compress. Comparison of results when compressing images. New image formats. Size of webP, GIFs, SVG, carousels, and video. How to use different sizes of the same image.
  • How to use segmentation in Google Analytics to see your mobile traffic and Google Search Console and Google CWV metrics to measure your site’s speed and improvement.

This is a live online webinar with lots of opportunity for your questions.

Key Takeaways

  • What are Google’s requirements for Mobile-first?
  • What happens if websites don’t design for the Mobile-first Google Core Update?
  • Do you need to do this? How to use your web analytics and other tools to decide.
  • How to reduce the KB size of text on your site.
  • How to reduce the KB size of images on your site with image formats, image compression, offer multiple sizes, and sample lines of code.
  • How to Use Google Analytics’ device segmentation and other Google tools.

Who is the course for?

  • Digital Marketing, Search Marketing, Web Marketing, and eCommerce managers, Web Designers and Developers, Agency Account Directors and Creatives, or anyone who wants their website to show up in search engines.

(Can’t attend the live workshop? No problem. All workshops are recorded and we’ll send you the recording, workbook and any supplementary materials within a couple days of completion after we’ve had time to edit the recording.)

It’s not very common to receive actionable takeaways from some webinars as they are often just a company trying to earn your business and it becomes a “pitch” in disguise with minimal takeaways at best. This webinar was extremely educational with key insights and tangible takeaways that I can actually execute! I learned about several tools I can start using today to optimize our mobile site. Thank you Andreas for an amazing presentation! I’ll definitely be attending more DMAC workshops in the future!

(Special Series Pricing: All four Email Marketing workshops $1,200 now 35% off—$780. Enroll here.)

Planning, creating an email and pressing the send button is just the start of the journey to the subscriber. What happens next and how you can help to give your emails the best chance of reaching the inbox, requires consideration across multiple areas of your implementation and strategy.

If you’re seeing diminishing results at a specific email provider or overall, or simply want to know how to maintain high delivery, this class is for you.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the difference between deliverability and inbox placement and how you can influence success in both areas; for both B2B and B2C senders. We’ll discuss your sending infrastructure, list hygiene practices,  spam content and how engagement impacts deeper than just your top-line results. We’ll also dive into specific strategies to monitor your situation on an ongoing basis, fix problems as they arise and optimizing your sends for Hotmail and Gmail specifically.

This course is weighted towards B2C sending nuances with deliverability, however, many of the elements are very similar in B2B and the knowledge shared can be used across both markets.

What you’ll learn:

  • Deliverability vs. inbox placement—what’s the difference?
  • Understanding your sender reputation:
    • Domain Vs. IP reputation.
    • Getting your sending infrastructure right (DKIM, SPF, TSL, DMARC, BIMI etc.).
    • List Hygiene:
      • Spam traps; what tools give you insight into spam traps and how can you get rid of them.
      • Bounces; what’s the difference, how to analyze them and how to handle them:
        • Hard bounces (unknown users).
        • Soft Bounces.
        • Blocks.

I thought this workshop was really interesting and relative to what I was hoping to learn more about. I appreciate that it covered all aspects of data, how to gather, analyze and use it properly to make the most of it. Plus it covered how personalization is the way to go from now on. Very well done!

What You’ll Learn in this Workshop

In this workshop, we’ll roll up the shirtsleeves and dig into the Google Ads engine. You’ll see how the bidding system works. When you understand that, you can use lower bids and lower budgets to get better results than your competitors. We’ll also discuss how Google Ads uses Quality Score to set the ranking position of your ad and how much you’ll pay for the click (your cost-per-click).You’ll see how to optimize your Google Ads account for maximum results by managing bids to KPI’s. The workshop also covers software from Google that lets you manage dozens of accounts in one account. And how to use Google Ads recommendations, another powerful Google tool lets you make global changes to your account in a few steps.

Finally, a series of slides, based on Andreas’ experience with dozens of global companies, show you how to manage Google Ads by time zones, continents, and languages. And much more…

Wherever possible, Andreas adds tips, notes, and insights to the slides, so you get information and his experience.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to improve your Google Ads Quality Score.

  • By understanding how the Google bidding algorithm works, you can use a lower budget and lower bids, yet your ads will show more often, rank higher, and cost less per click than your competitors (you can bid $0.25 and rank higher than a competitor who bids $5.)
  • How to use Google Ads Recommendations (and a quick hack).
  • How to optimize the bids for the KPI’s.
  • How to use portfolio theory for your ad groups.
  • How to calculate KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) with the free KPI eBook.
  • Notes about automated bid management tools.

  • We’ll also look at another tool that lets you manage hundreds of thousands of keywords.
  • A few notes about Microsoft Advertising.
  • Managing global ad campaigns by time zone, continents, and languages.

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.

Workshop date and times:

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 (12:00 pm to 2:00 pm PDT).

Web analytics is a necessity in digital marketing. This gives you data so you can make decisions in your digital marketing campaigns (SEO, SEM, social media, email, apps, and so on) to improve your results.

Google Analytics has been updated from Google Analytics 3.0 to Google Analytics 4.0. It’s not a minor update. Google Analytics 4.0 is substantially different in how it works and how you use it. We’re happy to offer the first live online course in Google Analytics 4.0.

About the Instructor:

This three-part Google Analytics 4.0 workshop is led by Andreas Ramos, author of 18+ books on digital marketing. He was the head of Global SEO at Cisco, where he worked with 44 languages in 85 countries. He was also the head of the digital agency at Acxiom, which did digital marketing for Fortune 200 companies. He is currently the CMO of a Silicon Valley startup and an adjunct professor at two universities.

In three workshops, you’ll learn hands-on steps on how to use Google Analytics 4.0. Wherever possible, Andreas adds tips, examples, and insights. Start with part one of the three-part workshops on Google Analytics 4.0. You may continue with workshops for Google Analytics 4.0 Intermediate and Advanced.

What You’ll Learn in this Workshop:

In the first Fundamentals workshop, we looked at the basics of Google Analytics 4.0 (GA4) and in the second Intermediate workshop, we covered the basic reports in GA4.

In this third Advanced workshop, you learn how to create your own 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 reports that you really want. Analysis Hub, the report creation tool, has dozens of options to create unique, personal reports that fit what your organization needs.

This is the core idea of GA4. Google realized every organization is different, so GA4 gives you a set of tools to select and present your data. Instead of consuming GA3’s ready-made data, you become a data analyst.

We’ll close by seeing how to use GA4 for digital marketing with SEO, digital ads, social media, email tracking, YouTube video, and apps.

You can follow along with your own GA4 account or Google’s publicly accessible GA4 account.

Key Takeaways:

  • Analysis Hub: How to create your customized reports in Analysis Hub.
  • Examples of reports and how to use your reports.
  • How to share reports.
  • How to use Insights for additional information.
  • We’ll look at standard GA3 reports and how to create them in GA4.
  • How to use GA4 to track visitors and actions for digital marketing with SEO, digital ads, social media, email tracking, Youtube video, and apps.
  • We also look at how to use GA4 for startups and investors to track the metrics that they need.

Additional Resources:

A list of additional resources for GA4.

Download Material:

  • Video recording of the presentation.
  • PDF of the complete presentation.
  • Access to future updates of presentations.

The Presentations:

  • The workshop is live so that you can ask your questions during the event.
  • The workshop is hands-on and practical.
  • Step-by-step instructions in numbered lists so you can do this yourself, along with links.
  • Everything in clear English with lots of illustrations and examples.
  • You can copy the examples, edit them, and use them in your work.
  • List of additional reading.

Who Is the Course for?

  • Senior staff, managers, and directors who are responsible for digital marketing.
  • You will be able to understand Google Analytics so you can manage agencies or contractors.
  • Agencies can improve their Google Analytics services to clients.

Note: Expect Changes!

Google released GA4 in October 2020. Based on feedback and data, Google continues to add, move, and remove items. We will keep up with the latest changes in Google Analytics 4.0.

Can’t attend the 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.

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 second of three workshop modules that show you how to install and use Google Analytics 4.0.

In the second workshop, we look at the basic User Behavior, Monetization, Conversion and Events reports in Google Analytics 4.0. GA4 is based on user behavior and events, so you can better understand your audience and what they are doing.

The Monetization report lets you track purchases and revenue. The Retention report shows your website’s “stickiness” in getting visitors to come back. The Advertising section of this course includes reports on your website’s ad revenue.  The Conversions report goes far beyond GA3’s conversion tracking,  because GA4 uses a new data model where you can track literally any action as a conversion.

In this course, we’ll look at additional features and options in GA4. You’ll 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 on presenting your data. We also cover the Insights tool, how to share reports, and Google’s tool to write UTMs.

This class demonstrates 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 review it again. You can also follow along with your Google Analytics 4.0 account or the free publicly-accessible Google Analytics 4.0 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. 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 signifcant discount. Take the course either live or recorded.

Key Takeaways:

  • Where GA3 had 104 reports, GA4 has only 14 basic reports. We start with the Real Time report. The Life Cycle Section includes acquisition, engagement via events, monetization, retention, and other metrics. The Monetization report lets you track purchases and revenue. The Retention report shows your website’s “stickiness” in getting visitors to come back. You get easy-to-understand reports of Daily Active Users (DAU), Weekly Active Users (WAU), and Monthly Active Users (MAU) and how these compare to each other.
  • The Users Section includes demographics, such as age, gender, interests, and city. Technology includes devices, OS, browsers, screen size, app version (iOS and Android), and so on.
  • The Advertising section includes reports on your website’s ad revenue.
  • The Events Section covers, of course, events. This report shows all of your active events. The Conversions report goes far beyond GA3’s conversion tracking. Because GA4 uses a new data model, you can track literally any action as a conversion. These are easy to turn on and off. Your reports will be useful to other teams in your organization.
  • In addition, we cover the search bar, calendar, and the Insights Panel. We also cover how to use Comparison (called Segmentation in GA3). Instead of a graph with a single line for all devices, you can separate that line into the different devices, such as desktop, mobile, and tablets, and, just by looking, easily see the trend, compare the differences, and see which one matters. You can compare your traffic sources such as direct, organic, search, paid, and referral. As a result, your presentations will be better.
  • A few final slides cover general issues with GA4, such as how to use heat maps to see where people click on your page, how to use UTM tags to track clicks on social media postings and social media ads, benchmarking, how to know when you’ll have to switch to the paid version of GA4, what happened to Google FloC, Google Topics, and how to get additional help from Google.

Web analytics is a necessity in digital marketing. This gives you data so you can make decisions in your digital marketing campaigns (SEO, SEM, social media, email, apps, and so on) to improve your results.

Google Analytics has been updated from Google Analytics 3.0 to Google Analytics 4.0. It’s not a minor update. Google Analytics 4.0 is substantially different in how it works and how you use it. We’re happy to offer the first live online course in Google Analytics 4.0.

About the Instructor:

This three-part Google Analytics 4.0 workshop is led by Andreas Ramos, author of 18+ books on digital marketing. He was the head of Global SEO at Cisco, where he worked with 44 languages in 85 countries. He was also the head of the digital agency at Acxiom, which did digital marketing for Fortune 200 companies. He is currently the CMO of a Silicon Valley startup and an adjunct professor at two universities.

In three workshops, you’ll learn hands-on steps on how to use Google Analytics 4.0. Wherever possible, Andreas adds tips, examples, and insights.Start with part one of the three-part workshops on Google Analytics 4.0. You may continue with workshops for Google Analytics 4.0 Intermediate and Advanced.

What You’ll Learn in this Workshop:

In the Fundamentals workshop, we looked at how Google Analytics 4.0 (GA4) is different from Google Analytics 3.0 (GA3). We covered installation and configuration. We also looked at how to use GA4 with Google Tag Manager (GTM).

In this Intermediate workshop, we cover the basic reports in Google Analytics 4.0. In contrast to GA3, which was based on pages, GA4 is based on user behavior and events, so you get a deeper understanding of your audience and what they are doing.

You can use Google’s sample GA4 account or your own GA4 account. We will go through GA4’s standard menus and options.

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 on presenting your data. We also cover the Insights tool, how to share reports, and Google’s tool to write UTMs.

Key Takeaways:

  • We look at the standard reports in GA4: Life Cycle, Users, and Events.
  • The Life Cycle Section includes acquisition, engagement via events, and other metrics. The Monetization report lets you track purchases and revenue. The Retention report shows your website’s “stickiness” in getting visitors to come back. You get easy-to-understand reports of Daily Active Users (DAU), Weekly Active Users (WAU), and Monthly Active Users (MAU) and how these compare to each other.
  • The Users Section includes demographics, such as age, gender, interests, and city. Tech includes devices, OS, browsers, screen size, app version (iOS and Android), and so on.
  • The Events Section covers, of course, events. This report shows all of your active events. The Conversions report goes far beyond GA3’s conversion tracking. Because GA4 uses a new data model, you can track literally any action as a conversion. These are easy to set up. Your reports will be more useful to other teams in your organization.
  • We also cover how to use segmentation. Instead of a graph with a single line for all devices, you can separate that line into the different devices, such as desktop, mobile, and tablets, and, just by looking, easily see the trend, compare the differences, and see which one matters. You can compare your traffic’s sources such as direct, organic, search, paid, and referral. You’ll see more examples of segmentation. Your presentations will be better.

Download Material:

  • Video recording of the presentation.
  • PDF of the complete presentation.
  • Access to future updates of the presentation.

The Presentation:

  • The workshop is live so that you can ask your questions during the event.
  • The workshop is hands-on and practical.
  • Step-by-step instructions in numbered lists so you can do this yourself, along with links.
  • Everything in clear English with lots of illustrations and examples.
  • You can copy the examples, edit them, and use them in your work.
  • List of additional reading.

The Course Is for:

  • Companies and agencies to improve their digital marketing.
  • Marketing managers to understand analytics so they can manage staff, agencies, or contractors.
  • Anyone who works with web analytics.

Note: Expect Changes!

Google released GA4 in October 2020. Based on feedback and data, Google continues to add, move, and remove items. We will keep up with the latest changes in Google Analytics 4.0.

Can’t attend the 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.

Use SEO for Digital Marketing

Why Take this Course

Your website must show up in Google. This three-workshop series shows you what to do to get your pages higher on Google to get more visitors, leads, and sales. We show you how to use testing to find the best keywords, titles, and images for your pages.

We cover the four major areas of SEO:

  • Keyword research: How to find the best keywords and spoken queries.
  • On-page SEO: How to improve what your visitors see on the page.
  • Technical SEO: How to fix many small technical issues.
  • Off-page SEO: Additional steps to improve your page’s ranking in Google.

The workshops include lots of examples, tips, notes, and insights so you’ll understand what these mean. You’ll see dozens of tactics to apply, including code for you to copy, edit, paste, and use. You can also apply many ideas from SEO to your digital ads, social media, video, and content marketing.

The SEO course is presented in three workshops.

New Tactics for 2022

The DMAnc.org SEO course has been completely updated for 2022. You’ll see methods on how to test keywords, meta-tags, pages, and more to get data so you can find the best results. We’ve added many new SEO tactics, tools, and methods. You’ll also see a unique section on how to understand the data for statistical confidence (using basic arithmetic). No other course or book offers this.

Part 2: Optimizing On-Page and Technical SEO

The next step is on-page SEO. This is what people see when they look at your web page. There are many things to improve on the page, so your pages are indexed better, such as site architecture, page design, site search, and video. This also improves the page for your visitors.

We continue with technical SEO. This includes changes to the HTML code so search engines can put your page in the right category and improve your ranking in Google search results. You will see how to find meta-tags in your HTML code. We will cover how to edit the meta-tags, the page heading, the body text, ALT tags, and the text in links. We give you a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that lets you make sure your meta-tags stay within Google’s character limits. You’ll also see a quick way to test meta-tags to get the best ones. We also discuss which pages to choose for SEO work. You’ll also see how to do SEO for images, including how to make changes to the hidden text in images.

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, and so on) to increase your results. This workshop is module 2 in a three-module workshop series that shows you how to install and use Google Analytics 3.0.

In this second workshop, we go through the first three major report sections of Google Analytics 3.0: Real-time, Audience, and Acquisition, menu by menu, so you can see how to find information.

We will cover the first three major sections of Google Analytics 3.0:

  • Real-Time Report: Who is on your site right now?
  • Audience: Who is visiting your website?
  • Acquisition: How did those visitors find your website?

By knowing who your visitors are, you can make changes to your website to attract the audience you want. This also lets you know where to focus your marketing effort. For example, if your audience is arriving via search engines, then you can do more with search engines. Or, you can put your efforts there if they are coming via social media.

This helps in discussions over where to allocate staff and budget. Should the website be translated to French? Is there a market in Canada? Should your website be designed more for desktop users or only for mobile users? All of this, and many more questions, can be settled with analytics. Analytics gives you insights into your audience.

You’ll also see how to add 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.

(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.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to use segmentation to refine the view of your data. You can create your own data segments and then compare data, for example by device (desktop, mobile, and tablets), location (US, Canada, Australia), and so on. You can also compare traffic sources such as direct, organic, search, paid, and referral. Your presentations will be better.
  • We look at real-time reports and how to understand the data.
  • We then look at the Audience Report. Who is visiting your website? We can see their age, gender, and the language and device they use.
  • We can also see the topics they’re interested in and what they are buying on the web.
  • You can also see their location by continent, country, state, or city. This lets you decide where to show your ads (or turn them off).
  • Knowing your audience allows you to 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.
  • 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.
  • We look at the Acquisition Report in the second half of this workshop. This shows you how you acquired your visitors. For example, did they come via search engines, paid search, email, or social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and 62 additional social media sites)? By knowing this, you can focus on what works and shut down what doesn’t work.
  • The Acquisitions Report also shows you the keywords that triggered your ads, the keywords that triggered your pages in search results, and how your pages rank in Google.
  • You’ll also see how to use UTM tags to mark your social posts and ads to get reliable data.
  • We close this session with slides about the difference between free and paid versions of Google Analytics, including how to know if you’re close to the limit for a free account.

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.

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.
