Transparent Reporting Dashboards
ROI-Focused Metrics You Can Act On.

Weekly reports that connect what you spend on ads to qualified leads and revenue, not just clicks, views, and numbers that look good but mean little.

A live dashboard plus a written summary from a person, so you always know what is working, what changed, and what we suggest next.

Why Most PPC Reports Fail Decision-Makers

Common Issues We Fix

  • Screenshots of Google Ads with no explanation or advice
  • Clicks and views reported instead of qualified leads
  • No link between ad spend and the deals in your CRM
  • Monthly reports too late to catch problems early
  • Different metrics across Google, Bing, and analytics

Our Philosophy

A report should answer four questions: what did we spend, what did we get, were the leads any good, and what happens next? We build dashboards around business results and add a short written summary, so you can make quick budget decisions.

How We Build Reporting - The Details

Dashboard Architecture

  • Looker Studio / Custom Dashboards: One view that brings together Google, Bing, Google Analytics, and your CRM.
  • Core KPIs: What you spent, how often ads were seen and clicked, how many leads or sales came in, cost per lead, return on ad spend, and the share of leads that were qualified.
  • Segmented Views: By campaign, by how ready people are to buy, by location, by device, and by time period.
  • Automated Data Refresh: Numbers are pulled in from your ad accounts and CRM every day, so they stay current.

Analysis & Recommendations

  • Weekly Narrative: What changed, why, and what we did about it, in plain language.
  • Search Term Highlights: The best new searches and the wasteful ones from the week.
  • Budget Movement Log: Transparent record of reallocation decisions.
  • Monthly Strategic Review: Trends, testing results, and forward plan.

FAQ

Common questions

What to know before you get started.

What metrics do you include in weekly reports? expand_more
What you spent, leads or sales, cost per lead, return on ad spend, how often your key campaigns showed, notable searches, budget changes, and the share of qualified leads once your CRM is connected.
Can you report on pipeline and revenue, not just form fills? expand_more
Yes, once your CRM is connected. We show what each qualified sales opportunity costs and how much revenue the ads helped bring in, not just form fills.
What tools do you use for dashboards? expand_more
Looker Studio primarily. Custom setups for clients needing Data Studio alternatives or internal BI tools.
How is this different from Google Ads built-in reporting? expand_more
We bring Google, Bing, and your CRM into one report. We add a written summary, advice, and measures Google does not show, such as lead quality.
How often do we get reports? expand_more
Weekly performance summaries standard. Monthly strategic reviews. Ad-hoc alerts for tracking breaks or CPA spikes.
Can we access live dashboards anytime? expand_more
Yes. Dashboards refresh daily so you are never waiting for a PDF to see yesterday's spend.
Do you report on competitor impression share? expand_more
Yes on priority campaigns. Auction insights included in monthly reviews.
How do you report Bing and Google together? expand_more
The same cost per lead and return on ad spend measures for both platforms, so you can compare them fairly.
What if we need board-ready summaries? expand_more
One-page summaries with trend charts, key wins, and budget advice, written without jargon.
Can you integrate with our existing BI stack? expand_more
Yes. We can send the data to BigQuery, Snowflake, or your own data warehouse for internal reporting.
How do you attribute leads to campaigns in reports? expand_more
We match Google's click ID, campaign tags (UTMs), and the source field in your CRM to campaign names. The method is written down.
What happens when numbers disagree between platforms? expand_more
We find the reason and write it down, for example different time windows for crediting a sale, double counting, or tagging problems. We agree up front which source of numbers is the one to trust.
Do you include SEO and paid together? expand_more
Optional cross-channel view when you use multiple HeyLead services. Paid reports stay focused on paid KPIs by default.
Can we customize what the dashboard shows? expand_more
Yes. KPI workshop upfront defines your views. We iterate based on feedback.
How do we get started? expand_more
Request a free reporting audit. We review your current reports and where their data comes from, then propose a dashboard for you.
