In this presentation, delivered at the Google Analytics Users' Great Event, Caleb Whitmore discusses principles and processes that can be used to create a strategy and plan that will lead to success with Google Analytics.
Caleb starts by sharing the four major keys to achieve success with Google Analytics:
- Proper Planning
- An informed implementation that comes out of planning
- Have a good training
- Tools to accompany Google Analytics
In this presentation Caleb focuses on the first key: proper planning. According to him, planning should always start with business goals, not metrics. He shares examples on why this is true as well as how analysts should find the right questions in order to link between business goals and metrics to be analyzed.
