Understanding as much as possible about your site's visitors is instrumental in ensuring all the work you have put into your site actually pays off. Google Analytics can help us separate our assumptions from real world results. Join us in April to dig into quite a few basic but effective tips, along with some advanced lesser-known features we can implement to drive our numbers up, improve our Google ranking, improve our users online experience with our brand, and find creative ways to make a website more valuable to our business model. https://www.meetup.com/WP-Omaha/events/259850266/ More details... • • •	26	27 Global Azure Bootcamp Global Azure Bootcamp Starts: 9:00 am Ends: April 27, 2019 - 5:00 pm Description: https://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid=51295693801 More details... •	28
