A cost and marketing analytics dashboard breaks down spending on all your advertising and marketing campaigns on different marketing channels.
Here’s how we structured our cost analysis dashboard for three media channels: Meta, Google, YouTube, and LinkedIn:
Total ad spend is the total amount a company spends on various digital ad channels like Meta Ads, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and others.
It helps track where the advertising budget is being used and measures the investment against the outcomes.
Ad spend by channel shows how much you’re spending on each advertising channel.
This helps you understand which channels are consuming the most resources and how they contribute to the overall advertising strategy.
Monthly cost analysis section breaks down cost and marketing metrics on all channels by month. This includes:
This is a bar graph that displays advertising spend over time on various channels, such as Google Search, Google Display, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.
This graph helps you see how your ad spend fluctuates each month and compare the spending across different channels.
Similar to “monthly cost analysis”, this section breaks down cost and key metrics by day of the week.
This is also a bar graph that illustrates the fluctuations in ad spending for each day of the week, so you can analyze which days incur higher ad costs and make better budgeting decisions.
Ad spend by demographics takes a granular look at where advertising dollars go in terms of audience segments. It includes three pie charts that categorize ad spend by country, age, and gender.
This helps you see which audience segments you’re spending most on to reach with their ads.
This section uses three bar charts to display how advertising spending changes based on country, age, and gender.
These charts help you see which demographics your ads are reaching the most, so you can adjust your marketing strategy accordingly.
When reporting Meta Ads, you will want to visualize Instagram Ads and Facebook Ads performance side-by-side to understand how each platform is contributing to your digital marketing goals. Here’s how it looks like on Adriel’s report template:

An effective business intelligence tool is both a strategic dashboard and an operational dashboard at the same time.
Top-level executives should be able to see a high-level view of marketing KPIs right off the bat, but also be able to drill down to granular data and uncover which channels or advertisements are successful in reaching business goals.
Having the option to invite different members of the executive team with different access rights and views would also help greatly. For instance, a CFO should have access to a particular set of performance metrics, while a CMO should have access to another.
In terms of user experience, a simple, clear, and easy-to-read user interface would lead to better analysis and informed discussions across the executive team.
But the work of dashboard software doesn’t end at visualization. You should be able to export this data into a PDF or a CSV report and share it with different stakeholders through unique links.
This is especially helpful if you’re a marketing agency that needs to report to your clients regularly so they can stay informed on the performance of your initiatives.
