Web metrics provide business professionals with an enormous amount of data about activity on their web site. Of course, too much data can often create more confusion and clutter for business professionals than actionable intelligence. But when you take this data, make sense of it, map it to your key business objectives, and make smart decisions based on it, web metrics can mature into web analytics. This class will equip you with the ability to leverage WebTrends Analytics to measure the key business objectives in order to drive your company's online presence and gain actionable insight that lead to smart, data-driven business decisions.
The class will also give you a detailed run-through of the core features, key reports and terminology of WebTrends Analytics. Learn how these features can be customized to solve your unique business challenges. You will also find out how leading organizations are using WebTrends to improve acquisition, deepen visitor engagement, optimize site design to increase conversion, and create customer loyalty through retention. Organizations can also use this insight to justify their online investments and set budgets for future programs based on past results. In each section, students will identify their own key objectives and map them to the reports offered within WebTrends. These exercises provide tangible action items you can take away with you and use right away.
