Google Analytics - Tech Overwhelm = You Can Do It
|
Hi, Reader! If you've ever had the nagging sense that you're doing plenty of marketing but couldn't say for certain what's actually bringing in clients, you're the reason I made this. Google Analytics is where that answer starts. The catch is that most setup tutorials assume you've got a developer on call or a high tolerance for jargon. So I made one that doesn't. It's built specifically for coaches, consultants, and service providers, and if you can copy and paste, you can follow it. I also don't just have you click along blindly. I explain what each choice means as we go, including the privacy settings, so you understand what you're setting up and what you're agreeing to instead of taking someone's word for it. It's a proper walk-through, so settle in with a coffee. The actual setup takes under ten minutes. The rest is me making sure you know what you're doing and why, so you're never just clicking buttons and hoping they're right. In it, we get Google Analytics installed, collecting data, and verified working, plus the handful of setup choices that actually matter for how a service business runs. That includes your landing pages and cart, which is where most tutorials stop. This one is just the setup, turning the tool on. Knowing what it's telling you comes next, and I'll walk you through that in the videos rolling out over the coming weeks.
P.S. If the video helps, like it and tap subscribe while you're there. That's how the next steps in the series find you as they release, and it helps the channel reach more people who've been guessing at their marketing. You can click here to subscribe to my channel.

Hi, Reader!If you installed Google Analytics and just left it, you're not alone. Google Analytics 4 turns itself on the second you finish the install, but it does not turn itself into something that gives you can actually use to make decisions in your business. I've just released a new video covering a quick, 4-settings housekeeping pass for your system based on common things I see missed during client audits. All of them doable in one sitting with zero custom coding or technical work needed...
Hi, Reader!If your feed looked like mine last week, you saw some version of "Claude is watermarking its text now," followed by a lot of speculation, a round of "I told you so" from folks who've been wary of AI all along, an equal round of "But the ideas are mine!" from the other direction, and a few people announcing they were switching tools. Keep in mind that social is always going to amplify the extremes on both sides in any situation. That's what gets engagement and keeps eyeballs on...
Hi, Reader!If I asked you right now where your last five to ten leads came from, what would you actually say? (Seriously, reply and let me know) For most service providers, it's some version of "I think Instagram," "maybe it was a referral," or "someone probably saw my newsletter." That's not tracking you can trust — it's a hedged bet you're staking your business on, masquerading as an answer. My latest video is about closing that gap. It walks through UTM parameters — the small tags you add...
