Marketers are great at gathering data.

But data is pointless without context, insights and action.

Answering 3 basic questions as you create reports makes them more insightful:

1. What?
2. So what?

- What channels drove the most revenue?
- How much did we spend and did it drive leads?
- How is revenue trending to last year?

Here are the most common issues I found 👇 Incorrect Channel Grouping

It most commonly happens with social and display traffic. Screenshot of Google Analyt...
