LinkedIn experienced a surge in users during the Covid lockdown, with several people taking digital courses to update their CVs. Google Analytics was one of the highest-taken courses and still is, with the opportunities you can get from there. And for companies to recognize you’re certified in Google Analytics from your LinkedIn, you must add the certificate to your page.
What Is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics is a web tool used by marketing agencies to track and report web traffic. The digital tool helps to provide statistics and analysis for search engine optimization (SEO). Google Analytics is free for everyone with a google account to use but has limited features in its free plan compared to the paid plan.
Its paid plan offers more insights into your web traffic by tracking the website’s performance and collecting visitors’ insights. Organizations can use the tool to analyze their traffic’s top sources, track the performance of their campaigns and marketing activities, monitor competitions, draw patterns and trends in engagement, know their consumers’ demographics, and so much more.
How Do You Get the Google Analytics Certificate?
The digital tool in the hands of an expert can help a business grow from the data realized and proper strategy. But to become an expert, you must know the tool thoroughly.
This is why Google offers an analytics course where you can learn everything there is to know about the tool. You’ll be required to take an exam at the end of the course, and if you pass, you’ll get the Google Analytics certificate.
