Would You Drive Blindfolded?

Anyone who has ever taken an Analytics course with me will tell you about this simple comparison: 

Marketing to a website without proper analytics tracking is like driving with a blindfold - you don't know where you're going or how fast you're getting there.

Proper tracking is absolutely critical to improving your marketing efforts and answering some of the most basic questions for your website, like

  • How many visitors came to my website last month?
  • How much of my website traffic is mobile compared to desktop?
  • Where in the world did my web traffic come from?


How This Course Helps

This course will walk you through the entire process for setting up Google Analytics (both Google Analytics 4 and Universal Analytics) for your lead generation website. Through self-paced video lessons, you'll see the exact steps you need to follow so you don't ever drive blindfolded again!

Please note that this course is designed for lead generation websites (focused on form completions) and does not cover the implementation of e-commerce features. It's also geared toward small businesses, but most of it will apply to larger lead generation businesses as well.
