Setting up Google Analytics like a Pro

In today’s episode Andy is joined by Jon Hibbitt, Technical SEO Analyst, and Scott Colenutt, Product Manager at SiteVisibility to talk about Google Analytics.

Google Analytics is the most widely used web analytics service but even professionals can make mistakes when setting it up. Jon and Scott shed some light on the subject, offering some useful tips to avoid any initial error that could damage the accuracy of your data.

Updated: In the Podcast at 7:51, Scott & Jon talk about excluding fake Spam Referrer traffic from your GA Account. Simo Ahava’s automatic Spam Filter tool is no longer available. We’ve updated the PDF Guide ‘9 Simple Steps To Setting Up Google Analytics Like a Pro’ to include the new recommendation.

Jason of Site visibility has been really supportive of us at @YMCA Downslink, connecting us to people in his network that can help us with specialist information and training, otherwise often less affordable for us in the 3rd sector. Thanks Jason, your team and network.

Jason and the team at SiteVisibility are an absolute pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend them enough. Jason listens to the brand and always provides solutions that match the business goals, unlike some agencies that believe they know more!

Appreciated how helpful Jason was in our consultation chat, being responsive and flexible in trying to work out ways to help despite the constraints of our very limited budget.

I was really impressed with Jason and the team at SiteVisibility. Although it wasn't a good fit for the smaller budget that I had, Jason still spent a good deal of time giving me his marketing and SEO advice based on my goals and budget outline, which was really kind of him and greatly appreciated.

I've been working with SiteVisbility for a GA and GTM implementation project. The team (Nay, Aaron, Ana) have been incredibly helpful, giving so much of their time to support the project on calls, offering invaluable advice and really making the effort to work with our specific business needs. A super friendly group of people that I would 100% recommend anyone work with.

I contacted SiteVisibilty and ended up speaking with Jason. After a brief discussion he was very open and honest that we weren't quite the right fit (given the stage of my new business), and rather than just leaving it there, Jason has gone over and above to help me, including introducing me to a number of his contacts and some thoughts on the direction we could go strategically. After only spending a short amount of time with Jason I could tell straight away he has an amazing passion for digital and oozes integrity and vast knowledge I will definitely keep Jason and SiteVisibilty in mind for the future, I'd love to scale in the future to work with these guys.
