setting up a marketing dashboard

A marketing dashboard is a visual display of the most relevant information needed to track key marketing metrics and achieve one or more marketing objectives.

Online marketing dashboards are designed to provide data (including from digital analytics) to marketers and relevant stakeholders in a way that makes it easy to analyse and gain key insights.

OUR marketing dashboards

Our marketing dashboards are easy to install, manage and use, and present the most relevant information in the simplest possible way.

Insight into sales and revenue

Online marketing dashboards give you better insight into your customers' buying patterns, so you can plan and forecast your goals and results more accurately using up-to-date historical consumer data.

You can also measure those objectives in real time to validate actions, or to respond and adjust sales or marketing strategies.

Time-saving efficiency

Because most marketing dashboards offer real-time information, they save you the valuable time you would otherwise spend generating reports from different systems and putting them together yourself.

These centralised platforms pull in all relevant data and metrics for you and display them visually, with quick access for authorised staff.

Actionable insights

With marketing dashboards you can monitor and measure business performance.

Based on the data your marketing dashboard generates, you can take action to improve a product, campaign, website, ad or commercial.

For example, if a certain selling price doesn't generate enough purchases, a company can use the data to find the right price that persuades a customer to buy.

Our dashboarding process

1. Setting up tracking

To make sure the data is transferred correctly and accurately from Google Analytics 4, it is important to spend time on your tracking strategy.

We use Google Tag Manager as the collection point for data from different marketing channels.

2. Setting up a clear dashboard

To make it as easy as possible to view and understand the data and analyses, we use a marketing dashboard to visualise the data.

You can consult this dashboard whenever you like for the current state of play across different marketing channels.

3. Data-based strategies

Once the insights from the marketing dashboard speak for themselves, you can make strategic choices.

These strategies can range from improving landing pages to shifting the focus to another marketing channel.

Frequently asked questions about marketing dashboards

Read more about the value of a clear marketing dashboard.

Why use a marketing dashboard?

+

A marketing dashboard is one of the most effective tools in your agency's arsenal when it comes to building a long-term working relationship with your client.

By using a dynamic marketing dashboard that brings your client's relevant marketing KPIs and data sources together in one place, you can quickly explain how your strategies affect your client's bottom line.

A marketing dashboard also makes it easier to discuss future expectations and goals, because you are both working with the same data, digital analytics. It is important that your website uses the right tags, which we can set up for you via Google Tag Manager.

What are the benefits of a marketing dashboard?

+

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are visualised in marketing dashboards using bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots and so on.

Dashboards offer real-time visual displays of your company's marketing performance. With a marketing dashboard you can make the necessary course corrections at any moment.

You gain insight into the performance of multiple campaigns and channels. The dashboard can also help with business decisions by showing your performance against your objectives or past performance.

Besides letting you combine all your marketing analytics in one platform, your marketing dashboard also helps you: inform your client about what you do and why it matters to them, be transparent with your client and foster a relationship of trust, and show your positive results in a simple, straightforward and effective way.

What should a marketing dashboard include?

+

Many companies use objectives to set a vision for the future, but it still often happens that these are not translated into action points.

In general, data analysts working with raw data need little explanation to make connections and draw conclusions. However, the higher someone is on the organisational ladder, the more this insight diminishes.

That is why you create a clear marketing dashboard with all the data conveniently in one place, using visual aids everyone understands.

A marketing performance dashboard connects your marketing metrics with KPIs and ultimately your business goals on the following points:
1. Current sales figures, sales forecast & lead follow-up status
2. Connects email with CRM and productivity per salesperson
3. Clear and representative visuals and reports
4. Automate marketing processes for fewer human errors

What is Google Tag Manager?

+

Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that lets you quickly and easily update and track tracking codes and related code snippets, collectively called tags, on your website or apps.

Once a piece of Tag Manager code has been added to your project, you can safely and easily deploy tag configurations for analytics and measurement.

You then bring these together in a marketing dashboard.

Can DGTLbase set up a marketing dashboard for my business?

+

Yes, our online data analysis experts can create a clear dashboard in which visual elements make it easy to see the key points at a glance.

We can also carry out the marketing strategies that follow from it. For example, we can increase organic traffic, place lead generation on the most effective landing pages and raise the number of page views through SEO and organic search optimisation.

What absolutely has to be visible on a marketing dashboard?

+

Every marketing dashboard should contain some basic data that sheds more light on specific campaign performance. Here are a few:
– Traffic sources (where does your website traffic come from?)
– CTR (click-through rate)
– Bounce rate (how often a visit ‘bounces’, in other words fails)
– Conversion rate (how often a visit results in a conversion)
– Budgeting (how quickly is the budget being spent on which part of the campaign?)

Note: this data depends on the type of marketing activity. Email marketing reports, for example, look very different on a marketing dashboard from cross-channel marketing reports.

What is the difference between Google Data Studio and Power BI?

+

If your data sits within Google, for example in Google Analytics, and you just want a free marketing dashboard tool that everyone in your organisation (including non-specialists) can access, Google Data Studio is for you.

If you need something more advanced for your custom data models and more specific visualisation options, Power BI is a better choice.

So it all depends on what you want to achieve with your specific marketing dashboard. A click-through rate is easy to find in the Google Data Studio marketing dashboard.
