Christopher Baird: "Analytics Presentation"

Having a well-designed website placed high in searches still leaves a large opportunity untapped. This opportunity is increased conversions. The truth is, you can tell everyone you have a great product, stock your shelves full of it but if you don’t unlock the door of your store, you still have a losing plan. Conversions are half of the equation for a good marketing plan so don’t leave them out. This presentation will tech you the metrics that are important, why they are important and the tools you need to improve them. The bottom line is more occupancy which equals more revenue.

You will learn:

• What today’s storage customer expects to see on your website?
• What is important to measure and track?
• How do you assess good performance?
• How to use data to increase poor performance?
• How User Experience Affects SERP Results
