Using Google Analytics Effectively, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Presented by: Patrick Smith, RiiThink Interactive

Are you attracting the right people to your website? Are they finding what they want? How are they supporting the awesome work you do?

In the morning workshop you’ll learn best practices for advertising on Google for building an effective nonprofit AdWords campaign and drive qualified search traffic to your website. Then, in the afternoon, you’ll begin optimizing AdWords with Google Analytics.

Bring Your Laptop! This will be a working workshop. You’ll learn by doing. That means you’ll need to have an approved Google Ad Grant, along with access to your account.

Due to the hands-on nature of this workshop, space will be limited to 40 participants.
Register today so you don’t miss out
