ROI Logic

Agencies typically spend 5-10 hours per client per month on manual reporting. Automating this with a platform like AgencyAnalytics or DashThis reduces that to under an hour, freeing capacity for higher-margin strategic work. The setup fee covers the audit, configuration, and training, while the monthly retainer includes ongoing maintenance and insights, creating a recurring revenue stream.

Deliverables
  • White-labeled client dashboard with live data
  • Automated report delivery schedule (email/PDF)
  • Data reconciliation and QA checklist
  • Client training session and documentation
  • Time-savings report showing hours recovered
Definition of Done

The client receives an automated, white-labeled dashboard with accurate, reconciled data and a documented review cadence, and the agency has reduced reporting time by at least 50% per client.
