An on-demand course designed especially for non-marketers
Understanding Google Analytics 4
The goal of this course is to empower content professionals and non-marketers to understand their web analytics so they can make a more informed business case for the impact of content.
Web analytics for everyone
Web content measurement is challenging—especially if you've made your career as a "words person."
But knowing and understanding your content's performance can help you understand your audience and make your content more successful.
The Content Technologist's first-ever course aims to demystify web analytics for everyone, whether you've previously learned GA or you're a complete analytics newbie.
This course isn't about marketing attribution or advertising. It's about understanding how your audience uses your content and what supports your business, using Google Analytics 4.
In this class, you'll learn:
- How to set up Google Analytics 4 properly so that your data is accurate and actionable
- What the different reports and settings in the GA4 interface mean for content publishers—and which ones you can ignore
- What's the difference between an event and a conversion and which ones you should track
- Which customizations make sense for publishers to configure
- How to read and find insights in GA 4's out-of-the-box reports with no custom code
Course format: A short video, text and quiz lesson each day via email
Understanding Google Analytics 4 is a combination of video, text, and quiz content, delivered via email 5x a week for 4 weeks in a row.
At your convenience — when you decide to say Go — the 4-week course begins. You'll receive a short lesson in your inbox each workday, with clear learning objectives. You'll be led through the GA4 interface one small piece at a time.
The course is relatively short— between 5 and 10 minutes per day, 20 work days in a row (analytics aren't for the weekend, trust us).
You'll also have access to your instructor will be available for one 15-minute consulting session to answer any outstanding questions you have about setting up GA4.
To get the most out of the course, anticipate spending an additional hour or two using GA4 each week, beyond the lessons.
