Higher Ed Experts

The presentations offer smart lessons for using Google Analytics. More importantly, they provide opportunity and context for reflection on my institution’s own marketing goals.

This was a great introduction to the principles and practices of SEO, through the lens of higher education. I came away with a strong foundation for how to evaluate and improve our website’s SEO, and can now evaluate the SEO of our competitors through a variety of online tools. I’m also better prepared to optimize our cost-per-click advertising campaigns through A/B testing. I can’t wait to talk to my supervisor and ad agency about what I’ve learned, and create a plan for implementation!

This course helped me understand and explain the data that is being collected. It also reinforced that it is extremely important to ask questions and grasp the overall picture before analyzing the data.

This course is very interesting and definitely starts one on the path of becoming a GA ninja. It made me realize the importance of reporting data that is meaningful to decision making, not just reporting data for data’s sake! I will never again present lengthy analytical reports providing data that was amazing to me (and probably to me alone), as this doesn’t help influence decision making.
