Half Your Marketing Works—AI Helps You Find Which Half

Stop guessing which marketing works. AI helps you measure, analyze, and optimize for better ROI.

Campaign Performance Analysis

Multi-channel analysis:

Campaign data:
- Channel A: Spend $X, Leads Y, Conversions Z
- Channel B: Spend $X, Leads Y, Conversions Z
- Channel C: Spend $X, Leads Y, Conversions Z

Calculate for each:
- Cost per lead
- Cost per conversion
- Conversion rate
- ROI
- Which to scale, which to cut?

Attribution Modeling

Understanding customer journey:

Customer touchpoints before purchase:
[List typical journey: ad → blog → email → purchase]

Help me understand:
- Which touchpoint deserves credit?
- First-touch vs last-touch attribution
- Multi-touch attribution model
- How to measure each channel's true impact

A/B Test Analysis

Statistical significance:

A/B test results:
- Variant A: 1000 visitors, 50 conversions
- Variant B: 1000 visitors, 65 conversions

Is this statistically significant?
Confidence level?
Should I declare a winner or keep testing?

Budget Optimization

Channel allocation:

Monthly marketing budget: $10,000
Current allocation:
- Google Ads: $4k (ROI: 2.5x)
- Facebook: $3k (ROI: 1.8x)
- Email: $2k (ROI: 4x)
- Content: $1k (ROI: unknown)

How should I reallocate for maximum ROI?
Consider: diminishing returns, testing budget, brand building

Conversion Funnel Analysis

Finding leaks:

Funnel stages:
- Visitors: 10,000
- Sign-ups: 500 (5%)
- Trials: 200 (40% of signups)
- Paid: 40 (20% of trials)

Analyze:
- Which stage is weakest?
- Industry benchmarks?
- Where to focus optimization?
- Estimated impact of 10% improvement at each stage

Cohort Analysis

Customer behavior over time:

Monthly cohorts (customers by signup month):
[Data showing retention/revenue by cohort]

Analyze:
- Which cohorts perform best?
- Retention trends
- Changes that improved/hurt retention
- Lifetime value by cohort

Key Takeaways

  • →Calculate cost per lead and cost per conversion for every channel—optimize ruthlessly
  • →Use multi-touch attribution to understand the full customer journey, not just last click
  • →Test statistical significance before declaring A/B test winners—avoid false positives
  • →Allocate budget based on ROI, but keep testing budget for new channels
  • →Analyze conversion funnel to find biggest bottlenecks—small improvements = big gains
