GOOGLE ANALYTICS QUICK START
In just one day you could learn how to use
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a powerful cloud based solution for providing you with in-depth information on your website visitors and how they interact with your site.
The product offers a wide range of reports covering everything from what type of devices visitors are using, through to where they came from and which pages of your site they spend the most time on.
As the old saying goes “If You Can’t Measure It, You Can’t Improve It.” Google Analytics gives you a wealth of data ensuring you can “measure things”, and that means you are well on the way to “improving things”.
At Highlander we have been working with Google Analytics since it was first launched in 2005, and prior to that were an Urchin Software Partner (the fore-runner to Google Analytics).

"Andy was fantastic - answered all of my questions and tailored the training to my knowledge level so I could ask more specific questions! I've come away feeling much clearer about Google Analytics and ready to start using it much more effectively. Explained more complicated terms in very simple, easy-to-remember ways!"
