Google Analytics is an analytical service from Google that collects and presents statistics about site visitors. It is the most widely used website tracking and analytics tool in the world. It integrates with other Google services, such as Google Ads and Google Search Console. With Google Analytics, it is possible to monitor the profile of those who access your website, most visited pages, conversions, geolocation, devices, cities, traffic source, and other data.
The service includes dozens of filters for reports and many options that allow you to set up analytics for a project of any complexity.
In this course, you will learn the essentials of Google Analytics: creating an account, placing a tracking code on your site, analyzing basic reports, and setting up goals and campaign tracking. You will also learn how the system collects and processes the data presented in reports.
