Some marketers might have an unhealthy obsession with metrics -- they track too many of them. Maybe we think we can prove any marketing campaign is producing results if there’s a eye-catching percentage by its name. But, deep down, we all know that some metrics are more revealing than others. There are a ton of KPIs that provide minimal insights. Fortunately, though, we created this guide to help you navigate YouTube Analytics and measure the metrics that actually matter.
