Creating your first performance reports

1. Lead source reports

Uncover additional information on your lead sources with the assistance of lead reports.

Leads by channel

Begin by categorizing your leads by channel to see which channels yielded the largest volume of leads.

Leads by campaign

Narrow down to a specific channel, such as Search Paid (Google Ads), and classify your Google Ads leads by campaign to find out which campaign is yielding the most leads.

Leads by keyword

To gain deeper insights into the performance of a specific campaign, you can segment leads further with the “Volume of Leads by Keyword” and “Volume of Leads by Ad” reports.

2. Sales and revenue source reports

Although we are aware of the sources driving the most leads, we need to consider: are these leads resulting in actual sales and revenue?

Transferring your leads to a CRM like Monday Sales allows for a comprehensive assessment of sales performance by channel, source, and landing page.

This enables you to optimize your marketing strategy by emphasizing the channels that contribute the most to your revenue.

To demonstrate, we will consider the following scenario:

ChannelsSearch PaidSocial Paid
Leads5075
Sales56
Avg. Order Value$150$100
Revenue$750$600

Following your campaigns on Google and Facebook, the preliminary “Leads by Channel” report showed that Social Paid ads surpassed Search Paid ads in terms of lead generation.

In your analysis conducted a few weeks later, you discover that leads that became paying customers indicate that the Search Paid channel achieved higher revenue from fewer leads than the Social Paid channel.
