"We decided to get together and talk about the things that are important to us in the auto industry, and hope you’ll come along for the ride. We’ll cover auto industry stuff, dealership profitability, and digital platforms, all with a dose of humor and our love for 80s/90s music. Join us!"

Google Analytics 4: Resist the Scare Tactics
Our guest today is Mike Fitzpatrick, Founder of SmartTarget. Kathi and Mike have known Mike F. for over a decade. We all came from the car biz and found ourselves in the scary vendor world all at the same time.
And speaking of scary (it was Halloween just a few days ago), Google Analytics 4 has launched and we’d like to calm your fears. Mike F. is our Google Yoda and he explains what GA4 is all about and how you can create reporting in Google Data Studio that will completely transform your digital marketing ROI (Return on Investment).
BTW, we highly recommend Mike’s SmartTarget solution. He’ll build a Google Data Studio report for you and, with his proprietary inventory ad targeting, fine tune your marketing spend to save money. Find Mike HERE.
