ROI Logic

Agencies typically spend 5-10 hours per client per month on manual reporting; automating this with a platform like AgencyAnalytics or DashThis can cut that to under an hour, freeing billable hours for strategy. The setup fee covers the audit, configuration, and training, while the monthly subscription is passed through or marked up, creating recurring margin.

Deliverables
  • White-labeled client dashboards for each client
  • Automated scheduled reports (email or PDF)
  • Data reconciliation report showing accuracy gaps
  • Narrative templates and insight annotations
  • Standard operating procedure for ongoing reporting
Definition of Done

All client dashboards are live, automated reports are delivering without manual intervention, and the agency has documented a process that reduces reporting time by at least 50% per client.
