Overview

In “Google Analytics 4 Fundamentals” we combine fundamentals and practice: you get to know Event-based data model, Property, data streams and setup and Key reports and explorations, apply what you learn in exercises and receive templates and checklists for your own use.

Visibility, reach and measurable results in online marketing come from the interplay of many disciplines: search engine optimisation, web analytics, paid campaigns, content and newsletters. In our Google Analytics 4 Fundamentals training you work on realistic examples from mid-sized companies and large organisations. You learn to plan measures cleanly, implement them correctly and evaluate them using key figures.
