USING METRICS, ANALYTICS, AND INSIGHTS TO TRACK GROWTH

Using Metrics, Analytics, and Insights to Track Growth

Growth is messy. It just is. As much as we (and I’m clearly projecting here) want to make it planned, predictable, and an exponential curve up and to the right, that isn’t the reality. If you want to track growth, that can get even messier. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be. There are many quotable…

Why Would You Pay for Metrics Consulting?

As business owners, we have plenty of ideas. I don’t know about you, but I can’t even stand in line at a coffee shop without having thoughts about how they could improve the customer experience.

Why Would You Pay for Website Reports?

Do you get excited about website reports? Does anyone? Let me put it this way: Do you sprint to the mailbox and excitedly tear open your retirement account statement when it arrives every quarter?

Information Is Power: The Power of Data

Information Is Power: Give a Crap About Website Data

On the surface, no one sees just how sexy data from your website is. It’s so much easier to talk about design, fancy effects, and what you “like” rather than what the business goals are and what needs to happen to get those results. But information is power, and the more you know, the better…

WHAT METRICS TO MEASURE: DON’T JUDGE ME!

What Metrics to Measure: Don’t Judge Me!

No one likes being judged. And that’s one of the big reasons I think a lot of businesses end up skipping or avoiding metrics. But it’s important to remember that metrics are not judgements! Sure, most of the time they get treated like grades, but that’s all wrong. Metrics are the landmarks and trail markers…
