Implementation, configuration, and reporting are not our final objectives in using Google Analytics.
What are our final objectives? Creating a better experience for our end users and generating greater value for our organizations. But there are many aspects of implementation and configuration that we need to get right, and many hidden reporting gems that we need to seek out, before we can get to insight, data-driven action, and measurable improvement.
This Google Analytics guide is designed to be concise but also fairly comprehensive, and at least a starting point for all major considerations for your Google Analytics deployment (on websites – app tracking is not covered specifically). You can read it from end to end as a technical overview, or you can focus on individual topics. In either case, we hope you find the guide useful. Please let us know what you think!
