The Executive Report is your client’s single source of truth for the state of their online presence. It gives your clients a rollup of everything that’s happening across all of their digital marketing channels in the last week or month. This report is white-labelled, so it automatically appears under your brand. This automated report gives your clients a first-hand look at the return on their investment—it’s a great way to build trust, position yourself as an expert, and show how you’re delivering week over week.
And, with new features and improvements including more detailed and easier-to-understand reporting, the recently-updated Executive Report makes it even easier to show your clients everything you accomplish for their business, month after month. New features include:
- More products and more key performance indicators from across the marketing stack, including Reviews, Listings, Social, Website, SEO and Advertising. Most apps that are active on the account push data to the report.
- Short-term changes and long-term trends. Compare metrics week-over-week or month-over-month, and use long-term trends to contextualize changes over time, e.g. “You may have received fewer website visit from Google Maps this week, but since you’ve started working with us 6 months ago, your website traffic has more than tripled.”
- An automated email with relevant highlights delivered to your clients at the beginning of every week, month, or both. No sign-in is required to view the report, and it’s mobile-responsive, so your clients can view the report from any device.
- White-labelled with your logo and branding in both email and Business Center.
