Marketing KPI Dashboard Planner

Choose a reporting layer that helps decisions rather than adding vanity metrics. Focus on metrics that drive action.

Quick Reference

Key Insight: Dashboards should answer "So what?" and "What do I do next?" Avoid metrics that look impressive but don't inform decisions.

When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:

• design a marketing KPI dashboard
• decide what to track or report
• structure reporting for stakeholders
• prioritize metrics by funnel stage

Workflow

Step 1: Define Stakeholders and Goals

Identify:

• who uses the dashboard (exec, ops, channel owners)
• what decisions they need to make
• reporting cadence (daily, weekly, monthly)

Step 2: Map Funnel Stages

Reference references/dashboard-sections.md and map metrics to stages:

Acquisition

• Traffic, reach, lead generation
• Cost efficiency (CPM, CPC, CAC)

Conversion

• Signup, booked demo, purchase, opportunity
• Conversion rate by stage

Retention

• Usage, repeat conversion, churn risk
• Expansion indicators

Campaign Performance

• Channel or campaign outcomes
• Spend vs. result

Efficiency

• CAC, ROAS, payback
• Pipeline efficiency

Step 3: Assign Metric Ownership

For each metric, define:

• who owns it
• what action it triggers
• threshold for alert or review

Step 4: Avoid Vanity Metrics

Exclude or deprioritize:

• metrics that don't inform decisions
• metrics that are hard to act on
• redundant or derivative metrics

Step 5: Output Structure

Produce:

• dashboard section layout
• metric list with definitions
• ownership and cadence
• data source or tool requirements

Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:

• Every metric answers "So what?"
• Ownership is clear
• Cadence matches decision speed
• No redundant or vanity metrics
• Data sources are feasible
