In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I’m doing a solo show, and I’m going to talk about the topic of analytics — specifically tracking results, either for your own business or clients you may work with.
Key Takeaway:
Understanding what to track is far more important than tracking every ounce of data you can get your hands on. Building out an analytics dashboard with a bunch of irrelevant information that isn’t organized in a way that’s going to allow you to take action isn’t what you need. The point of tracking anything is to understand what’s working and what isn’t. In this episode, I’m doing a solo show on the strategy behind tracking your marketing efforts so that you can get a better idea of where you should invest your time and energy.
