This is the Key…The Key Metric That Is!

I hope you can forgive a post here that seems uncharacteristically self-centered…sort of like I’m bragging. But in looking at the data for 2024, I have to admit that I am a bit proud. To continue to achieve growth – even in a difficult industry environment…and a difficult media environment – kind of blows my mind. Below you’ll see a screenshot from Google Analytics showing key metrics for Strata-gee in 2024. One thing to note for those of you not steeped in Google Analytics, any result displayed in green is good!

Each of these key metrics – in new users…in active users…in views – shows solid, double-digit percentage growth. I couldn’t ask for more…
