#39 Product analytics and CRAP Talks (with Bhavik Patel)

This week Dan and Dara discuss a listener submitted topic on how to measure the return on analytics. After arguing about the flawed premise of the quest, they explore different ways that analytics specialists and analysts can measure a tangible return for their hard work. The key ways that were discussed to measure the impact (or return if you will...) of analytics is via: - Optimising marketing campaign ROAS - Improving website/app CVR via testing and CRO programs - Product optimisation to reduce churn or improve engagement and thus LTV - Time saving via automation and trusting the data - Impartiality meaning that you can recommend the best course of action, even if it's not the most popular - Damage control - minimising negative impact when it's inevitable (i.e. COVID-19) In other news, Dan hosts and Dara parties!

#36 Events, events, events – explaining the various GA4 event types

The digital analytics industry is full of acronyms and jargon that make it hard to get into, let alone know what's going on. Join Dan and Dara from Measurelab and the occasional guest on their quest to make sense of it all, and have some fun along the way.

This week Dan and Dara chat about the troubles of tracking too much in Google Analytics, especially when you come to migrate everything from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4. Not much to mention or link to in this episode - but thanks for reading the show notes (if you are)! Dan's two questions he asks when it comes to seeing if you need to migrate some data from UA to GA4 are; Is this data needed? And if yes, is this needed in GA? Remember GA (GA4 more so than UA) is a marketing tool, so if it won't help you measure your marketing activity, then it probably doesn't need to be in GA. This is a general rule, there are exceptions of course. In other news, Dan sweeps up and Dara gets gardening!

This week Dan and Dara talk more about the announcement from Google on sunsetting Universal Analytics in 2023. They discuss what the timeframes really mean, and what you'd need to be doing at each stage. The key takeaway is DO NOT PANIC!

The PIVOT framework to help get GA4 set up - https://bit.ly/38w00Vx. And check out episode #7 for the deep-dive of PIVOT with the author George Mendham. Details on the Data Studio update to have up to 50,000 rows in tables - https://bit.ly/3NMljCn. Simo's 4 recommended Custom Dimensions to be able to pull out the hit-level data from UA (from 2015... damn I feel old) - https://bit.ly/3sEwNPI. They also mention a few tool such as Funnel (https://bit.ly/3uOUy7q), Stitch (https://bit.ly/3u81MED) and Fivetran (https://bit.ly/3x2z5dZ) to help aid in transferring data out of your analytics and marketing tools into a data warehouse or dashboard.

#28 The MeasureCamp story (with Peter O’Neill)

This week Dan and Dara talk about common Google Analytics mistakes they see time and time again. From using UTMs incorrectly to having analytics siloed away from the rest of the business. The GA4 BigQuery connector has finally started enforcing their 1 million daily event export cap, and has released an event export filtering tool to reduce the export if you are breaching the limit - https://bit.ly/34Quu2X. GA4 has launched the first phase of their DV360 link (and for the first time for the free version of GA!) - https://bit.ly/3I4qCty. Google Data Studio has released an updated connecter to the new and improved SA360 - https://bit.ly/3gSEkDS. Heatmaps are now supported in Google Map visualisations in GDS - https://bit.ly/3H1yril. The BigQuery connector in GDS now supports down to 1 minute data freshness - https://bit.ly/3sODmhF. GDS now also supports their native navigation when embedding the reports (finally)! In other news, Dan is a jackass and Dara gets (more) cultured! Please leave a rating and review in the places one leaves ratings and reviews.
