Gain real proficiency in Google Analytics instrumentation and reporting to drive measurable improvement
"Throughout the decade-plus history of Google Analytics, how people access online information has constantly evolved. We've seen an explosion of new devices, channels, and formats that each introduce new challenges for measuring online behavior. Today, the user journey is increasingly fragmented as people engage with websites and apps on the go and in shorter slices of time. As Google Analytics has grown over the years, we've kept this same focus on understanding and serving customers.
Google Analytics Breakthrough is a comprehensive resource that will help you become a more user-centric marketer, developer, or analyst. You'll develop a framework for how to think strategically about digital analytics and get a nuts-and-bolts understanding of how Google Analytics works. Know which questions to ask and learn how to answer them with deep dives into topics like attribution and goal tracking.
This book is written with its user, you the reader, in mind. Each chapter features insightful illustrations that explain key concepts and recommended next steps that help you get started. You'll also learn from industry experts and leading practitioners as they share their tips and insights. I hope that Google Analytics Breakthrough serves as a useful guide on your journey to better understanding and delighting your customers."
