The one-page marketing dashboard every founder should have
Most dashboards fail because they show everything. A founder needs one page that answers one question: is growth healthy this week?
Keep it to these blocks:
Acquisition — spend, leads or orders, and cost per acquisition, by channel.
Conversion — landing page conversion rate and lead-to-customer rate.
Revenue — new revenue, average order or deal value, and return on ad spend from your own sales data, not the platforms'.
Retention — repeat purchase rate or churn, depending on your model.
Trend — every number shown against last week and the 4-week average.
Rules that keep it useful:
- One source of truth per metric, written down.
- No metric without an owner who acts on it.
- If a number hasn't changed a decision in a month, remove it.
Looker Studio or Metabase on top of a simple warehouse is plenty for most teams.
