Episode 60: Talk About All Things Analytics with Christie Osborne
In this episode, I chat with data nerd Christie Osborne about all things analytics. Specifically Google Analytics. Keeping track of and using your data sounds crazy intimidating for some of us. But Christie gives an awesome breakdown starting with the basics. We talk about why it’s important, what data you should be looking at, and how you can use it to better serve your clients.
So if the thought of installing Google Analytics on your site or actually looking at the data makes your head hurt, don’t worry. Grab your coffee, grab your tea, grab your notebook. We’re gonna talk it out.
