Marketing Analytics and Dashboards Based on Your Business
Marketing makes a business viable. Without awareness, traffic, trust, and leads, you can’t make sales. And a lead coming to you is a way better lead than ones you have to go hunt for and hope to catch. The more you can improve your metrics on awareness, trust, traffic, leads, etc. the better your business will do.
Without the right data, presented in an easy-to-understand format, you can’t make the best decisions. How well do you know the answers to the following questions:
The Marketing Problem
- How well can you see each of your marketing channels?
- What kind of traffic is each channel producing?
- How many leads is each channel producing?
- How many reviews do you have per channel and is that affecting lead quality?
- How does each channel interact with each other to contribute to lead flow and sales?
- Where should you allocate your budget to maximize leads while minimizing costs?
- Are there areas that are underperforming that you need to be aware of? How do you bubble these up so they claim your attention when attention is needed?
The Marketing Fix
In order to help you drive leads and maximize your budget, you need the right dashboard. Like any good recipe, there are some ingredients and some steps that must be followed in order. They are
- Get the right data out of the systems you use.
- Ensure it’s clean, it matches up, and is structured in a way to drive reporting.
- Ensure data is automated and refreshes on a schedule.
- Build an interactive report to answer business questions. Answer:
- What happened?
- Why did it happen?
- What are the trends? Has this been happening for a while, how positive or negative is the trend?
- Will this continue to happen?
- What do we do about it?
- What impacts will we it have if we take certain actions?
- Schedule report to update and send to you at the time you need it.
- You are busy and you need insights where you already spend your day – email, Slack, or the main systems you work in all day long.
- Insights not delivered at the moment they are needed are not insights at all.
- Make decisions based on updated data. Model what-if scenarios.
- Have peace of mind knowing you’ve made smarter decisions.

“The customization piece was very, very beneficial—working with our own data sets and informatics, being able to conceptualize the data better, and seeing what our data can do from a visualization perspective.”
Brad Smith“We’ve used a variety of analytics in the business. We can look at data from multiple sources and pull it together to allow us to do a lot of things, for instance—see how much are we spending per channel, and what is the return for our business? That’s the Rosetta Stone of understanding what to do in your business—knowing you are spending on your marketing well.”
Stuart Nokes“Ryan and his team did a tremendous job. They worked with us over the course of several weeks on a complex development project that we had been struggling with for over a year and got it across the finish line ahead of schedule and under budget. They were especially good at adapting to shifting requirements and developing and executing sound technical solutions. I would unreservedly recommend and will definitely work with them again on future projects.”
Tim Oliver“Ryan and his team were very professional, articulate and highly capable. His team started the work right away and Ryan was always available for calls and feedback. He was always on time to meetings and prompt in returning calls and emails (rare these days). If you are looking for a way to get more revenue out of your business you need business intelligence tools like Tableau or Power BI, and you need a capable team to complete the complex process. Thanks Ryan and Data Crunch!”
Josh Phoenix“Ryan & team were incredibly patient and flexible with me during the contracting period. There was no question he either did not have an answer to or could not find a solution to. We are so grateful for all of their help and would love to work with them again in the future.”
Becca Wilson“Ryan exceeded our expectations for a developer. He translated our overall business needs into the Tableau work, and was able to easily execute functions that require high-level of Tableau developer skill and knowledge.
Alexander Oftelie“Datacrunch was supportive, professional, and timely.. They went above and beyond to ensure that they delivered a stellar product and the implementation of it.”
