Q&A

What should I collect?

  • Where is the most money going?
  • What is the problem that I have that I am struggling with?
  • Start with the easier stuff, the lower-haning fruit?
  • Get as much data as possible (shocking!)

What are the key questions your facing clients?

  • How do we get enough data into a data warehouse to be able to look at historical data from Universal Analytics?
  • What data points are required for attribution model?
  • Hard to do in Looker Studio, Sheets/Excel
  • Budget Pacing: How should I spend the $50K budget and how do I pace that budget

What should we do with GA data?

How do I get started?
