Why digital measurement matters

Before taking the plunge into the multi-faceted world of tracking your data digitally, it’s important to understand why and what you hope to accomplish. This short lesson sets the frame for our objectives in the upcoming weeks.

What should we measure?

Yehoshua explains the importance of premeditation when it comes to setting up your analytics goals, and offers advice on how to approach your strategic business questions.

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

Every company’s KPIs will vary depend on their business objectives. In this video, Yehoshua will demonstrate this with a few examples of different scenarios and which metrics would (and wouldn’t) be ideal for them to pay attention to.

Data quality

Having a firm understanding of issues that can arise from your data quality is a vital piece in your analytics toolkit. This should be the lens of skepticism through which you analyze your data. In this lesson, Yehoshua will explain some common data quality issues and which underlying problems are often responsible.

GA’s dependence on averages means we need to focus a bit on outliers and understanding how to segment for them. In this lesson, Yehoshua explains the theory of outliers and presents a simple example showing how it can affect your data interpretations.

Data sampling

Understanding how GA samples data is crucial to analyzing and auditing your data. In this lesson, Yehoshua will explain the different thresholds for sampling in GA and how segment size and overall traffic work together to affect the quality of your data.

Cross-device issues & user IDs

This lesson distinguishes Client IDs from User IDs and explains the specific ways each one can contribute to understanding your specific user’s journey through your site. You will learn the capabilities and inadequacies of each function, how they overlap, and what they look like in GA.

Using GA to fix business problems

Within the reporting of GA, you will be able to identify areas of friction on your site. Yehoshua will demonstrate with an e-commerce example in which he used GA to identify a major problem in the checkout stage.

Dimensions & metrics

Although dimensions and metrics seem like fairly simple concepts, users of GA often mix them up. In this lesson, Yehoshua will explain the root cause of this confusion, distinguish
