Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Set up connections to pull data from all client analytics platforms.

Create data aggregation sheet

Google Sheets → Create "Client Reports Data" with tabs per client

Connect Google Analytics

Use Google Sheets IMPORTDATA or Supermetrics add-on to pull: Sessions, Users, Conversions, Top Pages

Connect ad platforms

Zapier → Facebook Ads/Google Ads → Get Campaign Stats → Log to Sheets

Add social metrics

Zapier → Instagram/LinkedIn → Get Page Stats → Log followers, engagement
Tip

Supermetrics ($99/mo) makes multi-platform data pulls much easier than manual Zapier setup

Warning

API rate limits vary by platform. Schedule data pulls for early morning to avoid issues.

Process raw data into meaningful metrics and month-over-month comparisons.

Create calculations sheet

New tab: "Calculated Metrics" with formulas for: MoM change %, Goal attainment, Cost per conversion

Add conditional indicators

Create "status" column: IF(MoM_change > 10%, "↑ Strong", IF(MoM_change > 0, "→ Stable", "↓ Attention"))

Highlight key wins

Identify top 3 metrics with biggest positive change for executive summary
Pro Tip

Always show metrics in context - "15% increase" means nothing without knowing the baseline

Use ChatGPT to write the narrative analysis section of the report.

Create monthly Zap

Trigger: Schedule → 1st of each month

Pull calculated metrics

Google Sheets → Get Rows → Select calculated metrics for current client

Generate narrative

ChatGPT prompt: "Write a monthly marketing report narrative (300 words). Data: {{metrics}}. Include: Executive summary, Key wins, Areas of focus, Recommendations for next month. Tone: Professional but accessible."
Tip

Include client goals in the prompt so AI can frame performance against objectives

Combine data, charts, and narrative into a polished PDF and send to client.

Google Slides or Canva → Design branded template with placeholder sections

Populate template

Use Zapier → Google Slides → Replace text/images with dynamic data
