You know Google Analytics (GA) has all the bells and whistles to take your food blog to another level, but are you confident in how to use it? Food Blogger and Google Analytics guru Brandi Crawford will show you how she's used GA to grow her food blog to over a million pageviews a month!

Want to learn more about updating old content, keyword research, and editorial planning? Food blogger and podcaster Marly McMillen will show you her time-tested process for doing all of the above, with easy, user-friendly spreadsheets!

Grow Your Food Blog with Google Analytics

Google Analytics (GA) is a marvelous, free tool, but if you’re not able to understand and use the features it offers, you won't be able to take advantage of the huge benefits it offers.

If you’re like most people, your Google Analytics experience looks something like this: You log in, look at your total page views and then head to to referrals to see where your traffic is coming from. Maybe you might see which of your posts are ranking the highest. And you might even see the search terms people are using to come to your site, if you’re feeling really swanky.

If that describes your Google Analytics experience, you are missing out on so much data. Look, food blogs can be a lot about the art of food blogging. But we can also be data-driven businesses as well. And rather than reading a million posts out on the internet trying to decipher how in the world you can better utilize GA for your food blog, come join us for an hour and learn from a Google Analytics expert who has been there, working with people just like you, food bloggers!

Food Blogger and Google Analytics guru, Brandi Crawford will share with you the most common GA roadblocks food bloggers face. You'll learn how to optimize your GA experience, best practices, and you will experience screen shares from an actual food blog to see how you can read the data more accurately to get useable information, such as popular content, and more.

Top Organizational Practices: Updating Old Content

Do you have a lot of old content on your site that needs to be optimized but you don't know where to begin? Marly will show you her spreadsheet and step-by-step how you can download content from your site and track updates.

Goal: You need to feel 100% confident in all your content. If you're not linking internally to it, how can you expect anyone else will? If you're not sharing it on social media, why would anyone else? This spreadsheet will help you get on top of your content and reach that goal of feeling 100% confident in it!

Top Organizational Practices: Editorial Calendar

You need to be sharing compelling content that makes your audience jump at the chance to share it with their friends and family. Using an editorial calendar can help transform your blog from guesswork to planned, share-worthy content!

Marly will share her process and spreadsheet where she tracks her keyword research and monthly editorial planning. This spreadsheet tracks four key components for each and every scheduled recipe post:

1. Recipe drafted
2. Recipe tested
3. Recipe shot
4. Post draft created

You'll know exactly where you are in the process for each and every month. This can help you begin working ahead instead of feeling constantly behind!
