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 recommendations you apply with one click.
Do I still need a reporting tool if I use MarketLin?
Usually not. MarketLin sends scheduled client reports as white-label PDFs with your agency’s logo and an AI-written narrative. Agencies that need custom live dashboard widgets sometimes keep a dashboard tool next to it.
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.
