Web Analytics

From the website

As the world continues to move online, a staggering amount of information is now available to businesses with an internet or a social media presence. Decision makers in marketing, website development, management and many other aspects of business are wading through this information trying to understand how people interact with their digital assets. Organizations that don’t learn to channel this information are wasting marketing dollars, losing business because of inefficient websites and failing to meet goals.

McMaster is pleased to announce that our new online Web Analytics Program will help you develop the skills you need to distill your online metrics into clear and actionable key performance indicators that are relevant to your business goals. You’ll learn what the numbers mean, which numbers you should focus on and how to get started.

Whether you are looking to enter the growing field of web analytics or want to understand online data to make better business decisions, McMaster’s comprehensive online program will help you master the metrics and play a critical role in informing business decisions.
