Brief Introduction
Looking for a Google Analytics course that will show you how to do it? Superb. Found it. You're in the right place!Description
Updated January 2021: Our previous students, and there are over 65,000, have come from companies like Google, General Assembly, Airbnb, Coca Cola, Booking. com, Vodafone, Freelancer. com & tons (& tons) of smaller businesses and startups who want to learn, nail it, and win!
This most up to date, updated and complete Google Analytics course, in the world, and on Udemy!
The Google Analytics team (and we quote), say: "When they talk about Google Analytics, we listen."
Hold on there, don’t Google have their own free one – why would you pay for a course? Which is fair, it’s a lovely little course, you’ll learn all the lingo. You won’t however, know how to do anything – which is kind of our bag. Equally, if you are after Google Analytics for Properties, or G4P - that's a new product, and in beta. Luckily, we will have a course for it as soon as the product is ready - around the same time that Google have one.
If you are after Universal Google Analytics, you are in the right place!
Listen, we won’t make you an analytics wizard overnight – and we think misleading people is a bit mean – so we aren’t going to. Honestly, you could go off and learn the ins and outs of this fantastic platform by yourself – took us a few years, and if you have that kind of time – we salute you! We enjoyed the sweat and tears, no lie.
You’ll probably know, that unlike the formal training offered for other marketing tools, Google Analytics training tends to fall through the cracks. You’ll have heard about analytics, no doubt. You might even have glanced at the occasional report. Line goes up, good news, line goes down, bad news – that kind of thing.
But, do you really know how to use this wonder-tool with confidence? With so much confidence in fact, that you can super-charge your decision-making, answer even the trickiest question about any customer interaction and make your website work harder for you, without breaking a sweat?
Aha. Now that changes things, doesn’t it? And that brings us back to why we’re here. Because, unlike most marketers, we know how to absolutely -crush it- on Google Analytics, we literally wrote the book. And with this course, you can crush it too.
You aren't required to know anything beforehand - we'll teach you the fundamentals, how to apply them, how to develop into an advanced user, if that's where you'd like to go.
Now to the super special bit. We are going to help you understand how it all works and master the ‘how to do it part’ with editable templates that have come off the back of 10+ years in analytics, about 175 analytics audits, and teaching tens of thousands of people. It has taken us months to create these templates alone, but they will form the documentation you need, not to mention save you months in creating them for yourself. Short of sitting down beside side you, and doing your job for you - this course has - everything you'll need.
How’s that for special? See you in there!
