Frequently Asked Questions
What format does this document come in?
A fully formatted Word doc you can convert to PDF when you're finished.
Do you include instructions in the template?
Yes, I include extremely detailed instructions with explainer graphics detailing the steps you need to check and fix issues in Google Analytics.
How easy is it to navigate such a long document?
Very easy. There's a dynamically generated table of contents in the beginning, with links to each section. Plus, I show you how to create links to other sections of the document for easy referencing. All of these links remain active when you convert to PDF.
Does this document get updated?
Annually (unless there's a really big update that's mangling innocent data ?)
What versions of GA does the audit support?
Each check includes instructions for both Universal (analytics.js) and Classic (ga.js). Some alternative solutions are also included (e.g., Google Tag Manager).
What do you mean by "explainer graphics"?
There are 80+ screenshots contained in the document, many of which contain step-by-step instructions, thus explaining the steps you need to take. (I also throw in a few silly memes to break up the monotony and, well, because I can. :)
