Goals and Goal Values: A Google Analytics Deep Dive

Sunday, Oct 21 1:00 - 4:30

Presented by Alan Etkin

Monetizing Google Analytics goals unlocks a level of insight that will help you understand which web features and user behaviors are contributing value to the business of your institution. This workshop will help you: 1) identify which goals to track, and explore various techniques for tracking them; 2) detail how to calculate goal values, for both simple and complex conversion events; and 3) provide examples of how to use goal values in your reporting and analysis. To get the most out of this hands-on workshop, you’ll need familiarity with Google Analytics, access to your institute’s GA account, and an understanding of the business of your college. Ideally, come as a team, with a developer and someone from marketing.
