4. Abstract
“My main hope is that this balance can be
maintained well into the future and that
small businesses are not left behind by
Google Analytics moving forward.
That would create a disastrous imbalance
of power in the online marketplace.
Please don’t be evil, Google”
-Jeff Sauer , Digital Marketing Consultant
5. Access
As marketers, it needs to be easy to collect data about our customers. We need a tool that allows us to
connect the right data to the right people. This can include purchase behavior, demographic information and
just about anything that helps lead to a better customer experience. Google Analytics connect data to the
right people.
Empower
Another need is to provide tools and techniques to better analyze customers and make marketing decisions.
This can be viewed as items like the Google Analytics interface, which provides several reports to help make
decisions about your company’s marketing direction. This is the aspect of Google Analytics that has traditionally
been my favorite and where much of the focus goes in product development for GA.

8. Google Tag Manager
level of interest : High
Google Tag Manager keeps track of a set of tags and
tag-firing rules that define when those tags should be
made available on your site. When a user visits the
site, the most up-to-date tag configuration is sent over to
the end-user’s browser with instructions for which tags
should fire
here’s how : http://www.google.com/tagmanager/getstarted.html

9. Cross Device Measurement
level of interest : High
“New measurement protocol for any connected digital engagement points”
Brand new measurement protocol moves from browser based to server side. Also known as
Universal Analytics, this allows you to track user centric analytics as opposed to device
specific measurement.
10. Dedicated Audience Report
level of interest : High
What is missing from Google Analytics today? Demographics!
Audience Reporting will provide age, gender, and interest categories as dimensions in
Google Analytics. This one is interesting if you are using Google Display Networks as you
can pass on your most valuable prospects. Bit of a powerplay for Google but great we’re
very pleased to see it introduced to Google Analytics.
11. Google play and Google analytics integration
level of interest : High
This feature provides new visibility into the full conversion path for companies that have
mobile apps. It promises a new level of understanding visitor flow that wasn’t previously
available in GA.
