Andy AuGustin
My name is Andy AuGustin and I love Google Analytics.
I’ve been working with Google Analytics and in digital marketing since 2011. I started with a student job working for my university, learning what I could, and trying to be as helpful as possible.
I took some odd jobs designing websites and an internship with a small marketing agency.
After that I got my first “real job.” The numbers in the reports were bigger and the pressure to grow sales was higher, but I was using the same Google Analytics reports to solve problems.
I decided to take on some clients on the side, using the skills I’d learned in Google Analytics, SEO, and Google Ads. I founded RankPlus SEO, LLC, an agency helping small business owners bring in more customers.
I eventually quit the 9-5 to serve my clients full time. I love the work – I get to talk to people, learn about their business, and help them grow it.
After working with clients for a few years, I realized the same questions kept coming up. Questions like:
How are my ads doing?
How do people find my site?
Should I start spending money on Google Ads?
What content does my site need?
Why aren't more people calling me?
How can I increase sales?
With the same questions coming up over and over again with different clients, I resolved to start RankPlus Academy to give business owners the answers they need.
My Experience

Other Things I Love
Believe it or not, my life isn’t all Google Analytics. I like Google Ads too.
In my non-work time, I am just as much of a nerd. I like to read when I can – I have truly lost count of the number of times I’ve gone through the Harry Potter series. I fire up some video games when I need to relax, or go for a walk with a podcast playing in my ears.
I didn’t consider myself a runner, but after being challenged to do it I trained for and completed my first half marathon this spring.
I’m in an adult kickball league, and it’s embarrassing how much fun we have. We also alternate flag football and volleyball when the weather’s nice. I’m in Atlanta, so the weather is almost always nice.
