We're going to teach you how to tackle the “so much data, so little insight” problem.
At our Google Analytics workshop, we’ll dig in and explore ways to use Google Analytics to gather more meaningful data, analyze it better and make your website perform. From basic definitions to implementation, event tracking to cross-domain tracking, we’ve got you covered.
Our trainer is a consultant here at The Bureau Dubai, working every day in the materials she will be teaching – so you’ll get real-world tips and someone who can answer the difficult questions.

VERIFY THE TRACKING CODE IS WORKING
Once you have successfully installed Analytics tracking, it may take up to
24 hours for data such as traffic information, user characteristics, and
browsing information to appear in your reports.
However, you can check your web tracking code setup immediately.

Console dimensions Impressions, Clicks, CTR and Average Position with
the Google Analytics dimensions Sessions, Bounce Rate, Pages/Session
and the Conversion metrics of Goal Completions, Goal Value and Goal

The Queries report provides direct access to Search Console query data.
