The Hanover County Department of Economic Development is offering a class on “Google Analytics” on Wednesday, Feb. 15.

Google Analytics is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website.

The product is aimed at marketers as opposed to webmasters and technologists from which the industry of web analytics originally grew.

Google Analytics is used at nearly half of the top one million websites.

The class will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Economic Development offices located in the Rutland development. The address is 8200 Center Path Lane, Suite E, in Mechanicsville. 

The first five Hanover County business representatives or residents to register are free (limit one per person per quarter). 

The class fee is $20 for registrants after the first five and the total class sizes are limited to 15, so don’t delay in registering. 

To sign up, or get more information, call the Hanover Department of Economic Development at 365-6464.
