Dana Ditomaso discusses the importance of choosing the right metrics to measure for clients and campaigns. Key points include: - Picking the right metrics may be the most important decision, as the wrong metrics can lead to bad decisions. - Metrics like rankings, bounce rate, and time on site are commonly used but aren't always the best indicators of goals. - Reports should be tailored to different audiences and include multiple reports. Data should be presented honestly and without ego.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Pest control company story here
- And don’t fool yourself to thinking that the person you give the report to, or the presentation to, is the person who will be reading your report.
- Keep this in mind – reports are a task for us, but should be a delight to the client.
- Think of an artist creating emotion with just a few lines. How can you do that in your reports?
- Don’t make people compare two pieces of data on two different pages. It’s hard to hold that data in your memory.
- Only focus on what is important. People are easily distracted by shiny things.
- PDFs make it really hard to explore. How can you build some interactivity into your tool so people can explore what they want to see?
- Show the same data two different ways. It can help to illustrate different insights.
- Reports aren’t “what’s happening” but “why it’s happening”.
- Sometimes the data is wrong. Don’t just take it at face value.
- Don’t just answer questions for yourself. How do others in the organization see this data?
