Reports & Dashboards

The 4-Hour Weekly Reporting Grind

Every Monday morning, you spend 4 hours creating reports:

• 1 hour exporting data from Meta, Google, LinkedIn
• 1 hour copying into spreadsheets and formatting
• 1 hour calculating metrics and creating charts
• 1 hour writing insights and sending emails

Total: 4 hours/week = 16 hours/month = $2,400/month of your time (at $150/hour).

And by the time you finish, the data is already outdated.

What If Reports Just... Showed Up in Your Inbox?

Adside automates the entire reporting workflow:

1. Set schedule - Daily, weekly, monthly (30 seconds)
2. Customize - Choose metrics, charts, recipients (2 minutes)
3. Receive - Beautiful reports automatically (forever)

Result: 4 hours/week → 0 hours. Manual work → Automated insights. Real-time data, not stale spreadsheets.

How It Works

Step 1: Dashboard Setup (2 minutes)

Choose Metrics:

• Spend, ROAS, CPA, CTR, conversion rate
• Platform breakdowns (Meta vs Google vs LinkedIn)
• Campaign performance rankings
• Creative performance leaderboards
• Audience insights

Select Visualizations:

• Line charts (trends over time)
• Bar charts (comparisons)
• Pie charts (distribution)
• Tables (detailed data)
• Heatmaps (time-of-day performance)

Set Filters:

• Date ranges (last 7 days, 30 days, custom)
• Platforms (all, specific)
• Campaigns (active, all, specific)
• Ad sets and ads (drill-down)

Step 2: Automated Insights (AI-Powered)

Adside analyzes your data and surfaces what matters:

Anomaly Detection:

• "CPA increased 40% yesterday - investigate Campaign X"
• "Meta spend is 20% over daily budget - pause or increase cap?"
• "Creative fatigue detected in Ad Set Y - refresh creatives"

Performance Highlights:

• "Best performing campaign: Campaign A (3.5x ROAS)"
• "Worst performing: Campaign B (0.8x ROAS) - consider pausing"
• "Trending up: LinkedIn ads (+25% ROAS this week)"

Recommendations:

• "Increase budget on Campaign A (strong ROAS, not spend-limited)"
• "Pause Campaign B (below target ROAS for 7 days)"
• "Test new creatives in Ad Set C (CTR declining 3 weeks)"

Forecast:

• "At current pace, you'll spend $45K this month (budget: $50K)"
• "Projected ROAS: 4.2x (target: 4.0x)"
• "Estimated conversions: 850 (goal: 800)"

Step 3: Scheduled Delivery (Automated)

Email Reports:

• Daily summary (performance snapshot)
• Weekly deep-dive (trends, insights, recommendations)
• Monthly executive summary (high-level metrics)
• Custom schedules (Monday mornings, end of month)

Slack/Teams Integration:

• Post reports to #marketing channel
• Alert on anomalies in #alerts channel
• Daily performance summary

Client Portals:

• White-labeled dashboards for agency clients
• Client-specific metrics and branding
• Self-service access anytime
