When it comes to keeping clients on your roster, clearly communicating how your social media efforts are working towards their specific goals is a top priority.
To uncover this information, sometimes you have to look beyond the insights provided by the platforms themselves. By using a trusted reporting software, you can dig deeper into audience demographics, review top performing content, monitor traffic, track conversions and more!

Once you’ve decided on which analytics software you want to use, it’s time to build a professional, informative report for your clients. Your Analytics Report should include the data that your client will find most relevant and valuable – it’s meant to show a direct connection between your marketing efforts & their goals.
PS: Have you seen our new & improved Analytics Report Template? It’s been thoughtfully redesigned to help you create a beautifully branded Analytics report for your clients -- no matter which reporting platform you choose to get your analytics from.
Instead of sending your clients a potentially overwhelming report filled with charts and graphs, but not a lot of context, try creating an insightful Analytics Report that tells a story. You do this by including only the most relevant information in your report, then connecting that data to your client’s overall goals.
With our Analytics Report template, you simply screenshot (or download) the most important data from your favorite reporting software, then add those insights to the template along with your notes and observations.
