FAQ

Questions, answered

What is the best marketing reporting tool for agencies?
For white-label client dashboards, AgencyAnalytics is a strong choice. For fast cross-channel reports, Whatagraph or DashThis. If you want the analysis and the decisions, not just a report, pair a reporting tool with Marketlin, which turns the data into a ranked to-do list.
Do I still need a reporting tool if I use Marketlin?
Often yes. Marketlin is an analyst, not a white-label reporting suite. Many agencies keep a reporting tool for client-facing dashboards and use Marketlin for the daily analysis and prioritization.
Which is best for cross-channel analysis?
Reporting tools show channels side by side. Marketlin analyzes paid, organic and site together and surfaces the dependencies between them, like paid spend masking an organic drop.
