About The Intro to Google Analytics Workshop

This workshop is a joint effort between our in-house Online Community expert, Lila Elliott and General Assembly’s Google Analytics instructor, Freddie Blicher.  In this workshop, we will cover the ins and outs of setting up Google Analytics within your Higher Logic Online Communities site.  You’ll get to know the basics of using Google Analytics to track and evaluate performance and draw insights to improve your business. Starting with basic terminology and key metrics, you’ll build a foundation of knowledge before diving deeper into more complex analytics techniques, including advertising tracking and custom segments. You’ll walk away with a fundamental understanding of Google Analytics’ role in running and operating your business.  We'll also walk through some common Online Community metrics to track using your newly minted Google Analytics skills. 


Takeaways

  • Learn the basic setup, navigation, and interface of Google Analytics
  • Get acquainted with basic terminology and mathematical formulas to understand key metrics
  • Be able to identify the metrics that matter for your specific business case and how to use them to make educated decisions
  • Create custom segments, goals, URLs, dashboards and automated alerts
  • Learn to identify exceptions and surface actionable insights
  • Discover how to connect your Google Analytics account to your Online Community site
  • How to track key community metrics using Google Analytics

Preparation

This workshop is designed for anyone interested in harnessing the power of Google Analytics to make better business decisions. No prior knowledge or experience is required.

What to bring to class: All participants must bring their own laptop. Please also have Google Analytics accessible on your computer. Each participant should visit this webpage and click the link that says "Access Demo Account." We'll be using that data for demonstration in class.

Throughout the account creation, Google will prompt you to set up your website - if you don't have a website to track, simply enter the value "test" or "test.com" where you'd normally enter information about a real website. The goal is to get you set up in Google Analytics so that you can add the Demo account during class.
