This article was updated on September 15th, 2023.

A 2023 report found there were three major reasons why marketing agencies lose clients:

  1. Cost (37%)
  2. Relationship (24%)
  3. Access to data (23%)

At first glance, each looks distinct. Cost is a money problem, a bad working relationship can sour any business dealing, and no data access means no transparency.

But when you drill down a bit, each is actually a symptom of the same problem—are you proving your value?

Costs after all don’t mean a thing if the ROI is right. Relationships thrive if everyone’s seeing the value. And no data access is just another way of saying “I want to see if what I’m paying for is actually working.”

Great marketing reporting solves all three of these issues for clients (proves value) while giving marketers impactful optimization insights.

Today we’re seeing what to look for in marketing reporting software, breaking down the top nine platforms, and showing who can benefit from each.

What Is Marketing Reporting Software?

Marketing reporting communicates the performance of your marketing channels and allows you to optimize your campaigns based on data.

For example, one agency achieved 38% annual growth for the last 8 years because they used marketing report data to optimize based on which channels were performing.

Reporting for Clients & Reporting for Marketers

Great digital marketing reporting can mean two different things for marketers and clients.

Great Marketing Reporting for Clients

On the client side, reporting needs to communicate the value of your client’s investment using the language they speak.

For example, if you’re doing marketing for:

  • A dentist, report the value of your marketing by procedure (“crown,” “veneer,” “cleaning”)
  • A plumber, show it by the service or type of repair (“water heater repair,” “sewer line installation,” “drainage services”)

Presenting your results in this context means more to your clients than simply showing total leads generated.

Client reporting also needs to be able to answer questions your clients may have, like:

  • Which products are doing well?
  • Are these new or existing customers?
  • Why did ad spend increase but results didn’t improve?

Finally, client reporting needs to be easily digestible (not cluttered with unneeded metrics).

Great Marketing Agency Reporting for Marketers

Marketing professionals need more robust data to optimize their campaigns.

They need reporting that lets them:

  1. Speak Their Client’s Language
  2. Understand Performance at Every Stage of the Buyer’s Journey
  3. Interrogate Their Data

1. Speak Their Client’s Language

One of the most valuable conversations you can have with a client is the “needs discovery” talk. What’s important to them? What are the success metrics they’re judging your marketing by? What are the success metrics they’re being judged by?

When you understand what’s important to each client, you can build informative reporting that matters to them. The trick is having the right tools to capture those important metrics so you can include them in your reporting.

Below are some examples to illustrate how reporting tools and KPIs may differ across clients.

Example Scenario: The Bottom Liner

This client only cares about the bottom line—how much revenue did your marketing team generate for them last month?

  • How to Speak Their Language: Focus on the revenue. Start with a broad ROI metric up front and center. Then, break things down by how much revenue each channel generated while including other cost-centered metrics (budget, cost per acquisition, revenue to expense ratio, avg. revenue per customer, etc.).
  • Tools Needed: Lead tracking tools (for connecting leads to value).
Example Scenario: The Corporate Ladder Climber

This client is only concerned with achieving results according to the KPIs their boss set for them (impressions, clicks, and traffic).

  • How to Speak Their Language: Easy—reporting for this client only needs to focus on these engagement metrics. However, including more detailed sections (e.g., performance by ad group, performance by product/service, SQLs generated, ROI by channel) helps answer questions should they come up and provides extra insights their boss may find valuable.
  • Tools Needed: Data reporting tools like AgencyAnalytics (connected with data sources like Google Analytics and Google Ads). Lead tracking tools for adding value-based metrics.
Example Scenario: The Ruthless Competitor

This client is relentlessly focused on beating out their competitors. They care about driving leads and climbing SEO rankings, but they also want to squash the competition.

  • How to Speak Their Language: This client will need to see lead metrics (e.g., SQLs, lead quality, etc.), search engine rankings (e.g., new keywords, ranking changes, etc.), and competition comparisons (e.g., shared keywords, volume, keyword difficulty, etc.).
  • Tools Needed: Lead tracking combined with reporting tools (connected with Google Search Console, Google Analytics) and competitive analysis tools like Semrush and Ahrefs.

2. Understand Performance at Each Stage of the Buyer’s Journey

What’s considered a good performance metric depends on which stage of the buyer’s journey you’re reporting on. Marketers need access to the right data at each stage before they can understand what’s working.

  • Stranger to Visitor – Before a user makes a conversion action (phone call, filled out a form, etc.), you can spot optimization insights by looking at how people are engaging with your marketing. User engagement metrics like unique visitors, time on page, bounce rate, pages per session, scrolldown events, and clickthrough rate are all valuable KPIs at this stage.
    • When to Use: Before campaigns have started producing conversions
    • Data Sources to Use: Google Analytics, Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads
  • Visitor to Conversion – Once a visitor takes a conversion action on your pages, you need to be able to capture that conversion data. Conversion tracking metrics like number of conversions (calls, form submissions, etc.) and conversion rate are useful here.
    • When to Use: Once campaigns have started producing conversions
    • Data Sources to Use: Google Analytics, Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads, and lead tracking software (like WhatConverts)
  • Lead Stage (Lead Qualification & Valuing) – After a visitor takes a conversion action, they become a lead. To know if they’re qualified, you need to learn who that lead is, where they came from, and what they want. You also need to understand the value of that lead (quote value) and sale (sales value) so you can tie that value back to specific marketing.
    • When to Use: When you’re determining the value your marketing generates
    • Data Sources to Use: Lead tracking software (like WhatConverts)

3. Interrogate Their Data

Clients will inevitably have questions about the quality of your leads.

Questions like:

  • Are these leads spam?
  • Are they actually part of our target audience?
  • What was the value these leads generated for my business?

Reporting that’s interactive rather than static lets you interrogate your data (drill down into individual leads to prove each is qualified) right from your reports and answer client questions on the spot.

Being able to interrogate your data also means you can prove your data is correct before making decisions based on it.

Say you’re evaluating campaign performance across three different platforms: Google Analytics, Google Ads, and your form builder. In Google Analytics, you see your campaign brought in 250 conversions last month. In Google Ads, it shows 235. And in your form builder, 275.

Which is the right number?

Without the ability to interrogate your data and see individual leads, you can’t verify which is correct. And that means you can’t optimize confidently based on it.

Two Types of Marketing Reporting Platforms: Data Aggregators & Data Capturers

There are two types of marketing reporting platforms:

  • Data Aggregators – These tools collect 3rd party data from many sources and provide the tools needed to report on all that combined data. They’ll typically show daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly KPI changes (think of it like a KPI “snapshot”). They’re also designed to quickly create visually appealing, easy-to-understand reports (great for client reporting). However, since aggregators are not the data source, it makes it difficult to drill down into the data.
    • Data Source: Third party (other data sources)
    • Example: AgencyAnalytics is a great Data Aggregator because it easily creates beautiful reporting from 75+ data sources, including:
      • Google Ads
      • Bing Ads
      • Facebook
      • Twitter
      • Lead Tracking Data from WhatConverts
  • Data Capturers – These tools collect the data (contact info, lead data, marketing data, etc.). Some even let you report on it within the software itself. Since capturers are the source of that data, you can drill down into the details from your reporting. However, how far you can drill down depends on the platform (e.g., WhatConverts lets you see and manipulate individual lead data while Google Ads doesn’t).
    • Data Source: First party (collect data themselves)
    • Example: WhatConverts is a great Data Capturer because we capture our own contact, marketing, and lead data from any lead type (calls, forms, chats, etc.). With that data, you can:
      • Understand lead quality using customer journey, call transcripts, form information, and more
      • Enrich lead data by qualifying and adding quote/sales value to each lead
      • See which marketing was responsible for individual leads
      • Report on the 70+ data points we capture for each lead
      • Create interactive reporting that lets you interrogate your data in real time

Remember: Data Aggregators and Data Capturers can be used together to create visually appealing client reporting that still speaks the language of your client. For instance, you can use AgencyAnalytics to combine WhatConverts lead data, traffic KPIs from Google Analytics, and ad spend KPIs from Google Ads into a single, beautiful client report.

When To Use Data Aggregators & Data Capturers

To help you decide which marketing reporting tool (or tool combination) is right for you, think about what your goal is when using these platforms.

  • Goal: Take X number of data sources and report it to your clients.
    • Recommendation: Use a Data Aggregator suggested below.
  • Goal: Understand lead quality and prove the numerical value of your marketing.
    • Recommendation: Use a Data Capturer that lets you capture lead data and qualify/enrich leads with sales or quote value (WhatConverts does this).
  • Goal: Create monthly KPI snapshot reporting.
    • Recommendation: Use a Data Aggregator suggested below.
  • Goal: Create interactive reporting that lets you drill down into the data and answer tough client questions.
    • Recommendation: Use a Data Capturer with interactive reporting (WhatConverts does this).
  • Goal: Create reporting from multiple data sources while still being able to see lead quality and marketing value (quote and sales value).
    • Recommendation: Use a Data Aggregator combined with a Data Capturer like WhatConverts that tracks leads.

Lead Tracking & Reporting Software for Agencies – Best Tool for Proving & Growing Your Marketing Value

  • Marketing Reporting Software: Data Capturer & Aggregator
  • Reporting Type: Interactive Reporting

WhatConverts Overview

WhatConverts is a powerful lead tracking, management, and reporting tool.

Some core differences between WhatConverts and other marketing reporting tools are:

  • Lead Capture – WhatConverts is both a Data Aggregator and a Data Capturer. It fills in the data gaps that other sources miss by collecting high-quality lead data on an individual level. That way you can enrich (qualify, value) and interrogate your data while also being able to create interactive, insightful reports without switching to another tool.
  • Lead Qualification & Valuing – WhatConverts Lead Manager lets you qualify and attach a value (quote or sales) to individual leads based on the captured lead data. And that means you can put a number on the revenue generated by each of your marketing efforts.
  • Lead Intelligence – Lead Intelligence from WhatConverts automatically scores, qualifies, and actions your leads for you. With it, you can do what used to take hours (qualify hundreds of leads, compile their information, send the data to sales, etc.) in literal seconds.
  • Robust Reporting – From pre-built marketing reporting templates to the customizable Report Builder, WhatConverts lets you report on 70+ data points collected for each individual lead. And that means you can focus on the reporting metrics that matter.
  • Powerful Integrations – With 1,000+ integrations, WhatConverts is able to connect with tons of major data sources (Google Analytics, Bing, Shopify, Instapage, Wix). It’s especially great with Google Ads, making it ideal for PPC marketers.

WhatConverts Marketing Reporting

WhatConverts is able to produce clear, concise reports on which marketing campaigns are generating leads (and how many) due to the quality of the data captured.

Instead of just pulling basic ad campaign stats from Google Ads or Facebook, WhatConverts captures user behavior on your site, namely: calls, form fills, and what marketing activities brought them to the site.

This creates a rich dataset around leads that your website is generating, including data like:

  • Number of leads
  • Types of leads
  • Which pages they converted on
  • Which marketing campaigns/sources they came from
  • Products they are interested in
  • Number of times they visited the site
  • And more

You can also tie revenue generated (Sales Value) or quotable value (Quote Value) back to those individual leads your marketing generated.

Then you can build beautiful reports to summarize that data in ways that are:

  • Easy to read
  • Easy to see the most important marketing metrics (leads and value generated)
  • Easy to customize, save, and auto-schedule

Specifically, let’s look at 3 types of reports that you can send to clients using WhatConverts.

Most of our customers use a combination of them, and we’ll discuss each report type in detail below, so you can see what makes the most sense for your agency.

Monthly Summary Marketing Report

As we touched on earlier, the majority of marketing agency reporting has two key problems:

  1. They are based around marketing KPIs that aren’t as important to clients as leads and value, such as traffic, bounce rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, and so on.
  2. They are unnecessarily long and complex, making it a hassle for clients to go through.

One of the best ways agencies can prove the value of their marketing strategy and impress clients is with our Summary Marketing Report.

It solves the problems listed above by being (1) fully based around leads as the KPI and (2) digestible and easy to understand.

As you can see in the screenshot above, our Monthly Summary Marketing Report is composed of several parts:

  1. Total leads for the month (405 leads)
  2. Number of leads compared to the previous month (56% increase from 260)
  3. Number of quotable leads for the month (117 quotable leads)
  4. Number of leads by conversion type (143 leads from calls, 12 leads from forms, 133 leads from chats, and 117 leads from transactions)
  5. The top 5 Sources and Mediums that contributed to the most leads (174 leads from Google/organic, 138 leads from Google/CPC, and so on)
  6. The top 5 keywords that contributed to the most leads (52 leads from Google/organic for the keyword “LA plumbing”, 78 leads from Google/CPC for the keyword “plumbing contractors near me”, and so on)
  7. The top 5 landing pages that contributed to the most conversions (84 leads converted on landing page “X”, 46 leads converted on landing page “Y”, and so on)

This lets clients quickly identify:

  • Where leads are coming from.
  • Whether there was an increase or decrease compared to the previous month.
  • If there was a decrease in leads, what are the problem areas that need to be tackled?
  • And vice versa: if there’s an increase in leads, what contributed to that?

Let’s look at each part in detail.

Lead Count Compared to Previous Month (and Quotable vs. Non-Quotable Leads)

The part of this report that catches the eye most is the main summary. Here, clients can easily see how many leads your digital marketing campaigns generated, which is the main KPI clients care about.

In this example, it’s 405 total leads for the month.

Per #2 in the screenshot above, you can easily see the growth in leads compared to the previous month.

In this example, it was a 56% increase from 260.

But what if there was a decrease in leads? In our experience (and those of our customers), it still makes sense to include that in this report, because those are the times when you can earn the most trust from your clients.

This clearly communicates with them that you’ve (1) identified the problem that caused a decrease in leads, and (2) are taking the necessary action steps to solve it.

Per #3, you can also see the number of quotable (a.k.a. qualified) leads for the month.

In this example, it was 117 quotable leads — a 39% increase.

Going the extra mile and showing clients their highest-value leads is a differentiator in itself, and can be a selling point for your agency.

Note: Click here for information on how you (or your clients) can qualify leads and then pull that data into WhatConverts. You can also use Lead Intelligence to automatically qualify leads. For more on this powerful feature, take a look at this guide.

Client Reporting Tips: Click “View All Leads”

Most marketing agencies have been asked, “How do I know these are actually good leads?”

 

WhatConverts makes it easy to drill down into the specifics of each lead generated, right from your reports (a.k.a. Interactive Reporting). Then you can quickly see if leads are new or repeat, spam, have a high intent to buy, and more—all in a few clicks.

 

That way, you can answer client questions and prove lead quality without having to say, “I’ll get back to you.”

Number of Leads by Conversion Type

The next part of the report shows the number of leads by conversion type.

In this example, there were 405 total leads, and at a glance, your clients can see how many of them came from calls vs. forms vs. transactions vs. chats.

In addition, this section of the report shows if there was an increase or decrease in leads by conversion type compared to the previous month. This is valuable because if, for example, the number of form conversions dropped drastically compared to the previous month (e.g., 120 form conversions down to 10 form conversions), there may be a technical issue with your form setup, so it gives you a chance to identify and troubleshoot the problem.

Note: Beyond reporting, WhatConverts lets agencies capture and track each lead that comes in from forms, calls, chat, or transaction. This article is focused on reporting, but you can read more about our lead tracking features here.

Number of Leads by Source and Medium

In the next section of the report, you can see the Source and Medium that contributed to the most leads.

In this example, out of the 405 total leads for the month, 174 leads came from Google/organic, 138 leads from Google/CPC, 71 leads came from direct, and so on.

In addition, you can see whether a particular Source/Medium had an increase or drop in total leads compared to the previous month.

So, as an example, if your client is paying you to run Google and Facebook Ads, and you see a decline in total leads from Facebook, it could be because the CPC for Facebook Ads was higher than the previous month.

If that’s indeed the case, and the higher CPC on Facebook now makes that marketing channel less profitable, then perhaps it’s worth shifting more spend towards Google Ads.

This is all viewable instantly in our report — without the need to export data from Facebook and Google Ads separately and spend hours consolidating it to the same format and typing it up into a PowerPoint presentation (as many agencies do every month).

Number of Leads by Keyword

In the next section of the report, you can see the keywords that contributed to the most leads.

For example, in the above screenshot, 52 leads originated from keyword “LA plumbing”, 78 leads came from keyword “plumbing contractors near me”, and so on.

In addition, you can see whether leads from a certain keyword increased or decreased compared to the previous month, and get ahead of any potential problems.

Again, to present this data to clients, most agencies have to download keyword lists from Google Ads and Search Console for SEO, and manually assemble them into tables, spreadsheets, or Google Data Studio.

Client Reporting Tip: SEO/PPC Gap Analysis Strategy

If you discover high ROI keywords from Google Ads, you can approach your client with the idea of targeting those same keywords via SEO. They’d be likely to agree since it would lower their customer acquisition cost, and it could be an additional source of revenue for your agency.

 

WhatConverts makes it easy to spot these opportunities right within your reporting. To learn more about how to do it, check out The SEO vs. PPC Gap Analysis Playbook.

Number of Leads by Landing Page

The final part of the report shows you the landing pages (URLs) that contributed to the most conversions.

In the example above, 84 leads converted on one URL, 46 leads converted on another, and so on.

Again, you can see an increase/decrease in total leads month-to-month, and build trust with clients by communicating potential issues ahead of time (and how you plan to solve them).

Note: Seeing leads by landing page is especially valuable for agencies who do SEO, since you can use blog page URLs as an indicator of what organic keywords resulted in conversions (measuring conversions and ROI from Google/organic is notoriously challenging).

Lead-Driven Report Templates

As we’ve discussed, most clients want an easy-to-scan report on the leads you generate for them, and that’s exactly what the Monthly Summary Marketing Report displays.

Because of that, it’s the most useful reporting feature that WhatConverts offers (and we hear that feedback time and time again from agencies).

That being said, depending on your agency’s workings, you could also send clients some of our lead-driven report templates below:

Leads by Landing Page (see more details about this report)

Leads by Keyword (see more details about this report)

Leads by Requested Service (see more details about this report)

Leads by Brand/Product (see more details about this report)

Leads by Location (see more details about this report)

Note: These are just a few of our lead-driven report templates that you can send to clients. Click here to see a more expansive list, as well as get more info on the reports mentioned above.

Custom Reports

As we touched on earlier, unlike other marketing reporting tools on this list, WhatConverts does more than just reporting. It also captures and tracks each lead that comes in from forms, calls, chat, or transactions, along with relevant marketing details such as:

  • Which pages, keywords, or ads they converted from
  • Which marketing campaigns/sources they came from
  • Whether they’re qualified or not
  • Their quote/sales value
  • And the list goes on. We capture over 70 different data points about each lead, and you can also add your own custom fields

You can then use our Report Builder to create custom reports — using a combination of up to 5 data points that are most relevant to your client(s).

For example, say you have a client who is a Chicago area dental office and they want to know which ads, keywords, and landing page combinations are working well. In WhatConverts, you could generate a report to show leads from the top ad/keyword/landing page combinations in seconds, with just a few clicks:

Start by selecting three data points:

  1. Keyword
  2. Ad
  3. Landing Page

Once you select those data points, the report is instantly built, showing you (and clients) the combination of Keyword + Ad + Landing Page that drives the most leads.

Per the screenshot below, you can even add another dimension to the report: Quote Value. This allows you to see the Keyword + Ad + Landing Page combination that drove the most revenue (which is a more accurate indicator of success than number of leads).

These are just two examples. You can create as many custom reports as you’d like using the relevant data points for each client, save them, and then schedule them to be sent via email. Your clients can also log in and view the reports via our dashboard.

Notably, these custom reports require no coding, no database queries, no hours spent reading help files or watching videos. They are all a few intuitive clicks away from our default reports and built so marketers can easily generate them on their own.

In addition, if you white label WhatConverts, you can create a custom domain name for your clients to view the marketing results, and your branded logo will be included in the (1) dashboard and (2) all reporting emails.

Client Reporting Tip: Use Dimension Grouping

One of the best ways to keep your clients happy is by putting your reporting into terms they will understand. Dimension Grouping in WhatConverts lets you do just that.

 

For example, say you’re running marketing for a dentist and you want clients to easily spot which product landing pages are working best. You can use Dimension Grouping to group any landing page with a URL containing “implant” into a “Dental Implant” landing page group.

 

So rather than seeing results for 15 different implant URLs, your clients will see the total results for all those pages in one group.

6. Whatagraph (4.5/5)

Good for Agencies w/ At Least 40+ Data Sources

  • Marketing Reporting Software: Data Aggregator
  • Reporting Type: KPI Snapshot (static)

Whatagraph Overview

Whatagraph is a marketing reporting tool that can help marketers create compelling reports in minutes rather than hours. Built by marketers for marketers, you can use it to connect 40+ data sources and have the data go straight to your reports, with no extra work.

Whatagraph also offers white-label client reporting features like:

  • Custom branding (for a fee)
  • Custom domain (for a fee)

However, some users report a lack of customization with white-label features in Whatagraph.

Unique Whatagraph Features

One of Whatagraph’s main differentiators is that it’s designed to make it easy to incorporate data from a lot of sources right off the bat.

For example, its starter plan lets you connect 25-50 sources to your reporting (most other tools start with 10 sources). However, this comes with a pricing tradeoff as basic plans start at $223/mo.

Whatagraph also doesn’t use connectors. That means it gets its data directly from your sources, ensuring the best data integrity possible.

Whatagraph Integration in WhatConverts

There is no native Whatagraph integration with WhatConverts. However, WhatConverts is able to integrate with many tools using Zapier.

8. DashClicks (4.7/5)

Reporting + Marketing Fulfillment Software

  • Marketing Reporting Software: Data Aggregator
  • Reporting Type: KPI Snapshot (static)

DashClicks Overview

DashClicks’ Marketing Analytics Software helps you monitor and report on all of your digital marketing campaigns in a single place.

The best thing about the software is you can view granular data insights fetched from various metrics. This helps you make smarter, well-informed decisions and drive better conversions.

DashClicks also makes white labeling your reporting simple.

Unique DashClicks Features

Features like:

  • Marketing funnel builder
  • Website builder
  • Inbound lead distribution
  • Reputation management
  • Billing system
  • Contact management

However, these features come pre-built into the only plan the tool offers. You can’t pick and choose which features your agency wants to lower the plan price. On top of that, the many tools can make the platform hard to navigate.

Plus, reviews on the usefulness of these extra features are mixed.
