Want to complete a similar exercise for yourself?

It’s a helpful exercise to see what worked for you and your audience–and what didn’t. Then, you can apply the lessons learned to your 2018 planning. Here’s how to conduct your own year in review:

  1. Open Google Analytics.
  2. On the left-hand menu, click on Behavior.
  3. Click Site Content to open the dropdown menu, and select All Pages.
  4. Once there, be sure to change the date range to January 1, 2017 through today’s date.

Helpful hint: Keep the list in a spreadsheet so you can refer to it year over year.

Your turn!
