Metric Insight Reports

Make sound decisions with the data that matters.

What is Insight Reporting?

The Metric Insight Report is a quarterly marketing review tool that gives your business knowledge through data. Insight reporting doesn’t just spit numbers out, the opportunities and challenges found in the data are highlighted by Metric’s team of experts in written summaries. 

More than just a summary of campaign performance, the Insight Report is a powerful tool that lets you see which aspects of your marketing are working, while providing actionable insights to help you improve performance. Get the data-based knowledge and direction you need to make sound decisions about your marketing budget.

Independent Schools

Private, independent and post-secondary schools use insight reports to unite admissions and marketing teams, making it easy to collaborate and make budget proposals and decisions based on data from your website and marketing campaigns. Keep your executive team, board members and other principal stakeholders up to date and in the decision-making loop.

Credit Unions

Credit unions leverage robust data from insight reports to better identify and respond to target audiences. Ongoing performance reporting helps determine what to optimize — platform, ad type, messaging or appearance. The insight report also serves as an accountability tool you can share with key decision makers and board members.

Inside the Insight Report

Here are a few examples of what you’ll find inside a Metric Insight Report. Reports are typically generated every quarter, depending on the campaign or need for assessment.

 

Google Search (Pay Per Click) Campaigns

Google Search Ad data breaks down advertising by channel. Above, we’ve analyzed the success rates of Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising for various search campaigns. Data showing search terms used by your competitors is also available.

Results are presented in context with comments to help you connect the dots. But tracking impressions and clicks is only the secondary goal. Our primary goal is always to generate conversions, which means the actions you want your audiences to take, such as clicking to your website to call you, fill out a form, watch a video, sign up for a newsletter, get a quote, etc. We help organizations that are stuck reviewing key performance indicators rather than understanding the role different data points have in driving the outcomes that matter to your business.

 

Conversion Paths

Conversion paths—like the ones above for Paid Search and Paid Social—show how different channels work together and which paths your audience has taken towards conversion. 

“Assisted conversions” represents the number of conversions for which a paid search channel appeared on the conversion path but was not the final conversion interaction.

 

Ad Performance

When it comes to ad creative (i.e., images and messaging), we continually test the ads that are in market to see how well they’re performing. As the campaign progresses, we optimize the ads by focusing budget on the highest performing ones to get higher conversion rates. Clicks, CTRs and impressions are important, but the greater goal is always conversions.

 

Traditional Channels

Insight reports aren’t limited to measuring just digital data. There are ways to measure conversions from traditional media channels. For instance, by using unique URLs on ads for billboards, radio and buses, we know what ad users saw before they landed on a campaign or web page and we can track what they did there.

Demographics

You can learn a lot about your audience and really understand who they are through audience demographics. We use demographics to build buyer legends and customer profiles that are backed up by data such as age, location, gender, what devices they’re using and their interests. This helps us target users more accurately, which increases the likelihood of conversions because we’re building a highly qualified audience to target your ads to.

 

Web Traffic Map

Whether you are an owner, CEO, organization head or marketing director, you’ll find it interesting to see where your customers and prospects are located. The Web Traffic Map shows you where everyone visiting your website comes from, not just close to home but around the world.
