How is my marketing actually performing?

Marketing performance analytics connects every stage, from traffic to content, landing page, lead, MQL, opportunity and pipeline, so you can see where buyers drop off and which spend creates revenue. It replaces vanity metrics with a measurement framework leadership trusts.

You might be seeing

  • Monthly reports full of clicks and impressions, but no line to revenue
  • Marketing and sales arguing over whose numbers are right
  • Budget decisions made on gut feel
  • Hours every week spent stitching spreadsheets together

What's usually happening

Tracking was set up campaign by campaign, so data lives in five tools that don't agree. Without one funnel view, the leaks stay invisible, and so does the work that's actually working.

How we do it

  1. Audit tracking across GA4, ad platforms, CRM and forms
  2. Define the funnel stages and the metrics that matter at each
  3. Run a funnel leak analysis: where, why, and how much it costs
  4. Set up attribution (practical, not perfect)
  5. Build automated dashboards with commentary

What you get

  • Tracking audit & fix list
  • Measurement framework
  • Funnel leak analysis
  • Attribution model
  • Power BI / Looker Studio / HubSpot dashboards
  • Budget-to-pipeline benchmarks
  • Monthly insight report (retainer)

Proof: I have stewarded large marketing budgets against pipeline and revenue, designed budget frameworks with performance benchmarks, and built the KPI dashboards leadership used to make spend decisions.

Frequently asked questions

What is marketing funnel analysis?

Marketing funnel analysis measures how many prospects move from each stage to the next (visit, lead, MQL, opportunity, pipeline, revenue) to find where the biggest drop-offs occur and why.

What should a B2B marketing dashboard show?

It should show pipeline created and influenced, conversion rates between funnel stages, cost per opportunity by channel, velocity, and trends over time, with a short commentary on what changed and what to do next.

Which analytics tools do you work with?

GA4, GTM, HubSpot, Salesforce, Power BI, Looker Studio, Excel, and whatever you already have.

Do we need clean data before starting marketing analytics?

No. We start with what exists and fix as we go.

Can marketing reporting be automated?

Yes. Recurring reports can run themselves (see Ge).
