Reports provides deep attribution analysis with breakdown tables showing performance by source, medium, campaign, referrer, and more.

​
What It Does

Attribution Breakdowns:
  • By source (google, facebook, direct)
  • By medium (cpc, organic, referral, email)
  • By campaign (summer_sale_2025, brand_awareness)
  • By referrer (google.com, facebook.com)
  • By landing page (/pricing, /features)
  • By UTM tags and click IDs
Shows Per Row:
  • Visitors, sessions, conversions
  • Revenue (from Stripe/Shopify)
  • Ad spend (from Meta/Google/TikTok)
  • ROAS (revenue / ad spend)
  • All platform metrics

​

How It Works

​
Attribution Matching

Reports use first-touch attribution by default: Example Journey: 
Day 1: Clicks Google ad (gclid=abc)
Day 3: Returns via direct
Day 7: Purchases $99

Report shows:
Source: google
Medium: cpc
Revenue: $99
Purchase attributed to original Google ad click.

​
Cross-Platform Data

Reports combine data from all sources: By Campaign Row: 
Campaign: summer_sale_2025
Visitors: 1,234 (DATALYR)
Conversions: 56 (DATALYR)
Revenue: $8,344 (Stripe)
Ad Spend: $3,500 (Meta + Google)
ROAS: 2.38x
All platform data unified in one view.

​
Time Series

Each report card can show trends over time:
  • Daily breakdown
  • Weekly aggregation
  • Monthly rollup
See how performance changes throughout the period.

​
Best Practices

Focus on ROAS:
  • Sort campaigns by ROAS
  • Pause campaigns with ROAS < 1.5x
  • Scale campaigns with ROAS > 3x
Compare Periods:
  • Always enable comparison mode
  • Look for trends, not snapshots
  • Investigate large changes
Use Custom Date Ranges:
  • Match ad platform reporting periods
  • Compare same day-of-week (Mon-Sun vs Mon-Sun)
  • Account for seasonality
Filter by High Volume:
  • Focus on sources with 100+ visitors
  • Small samples can be misleading
  • Set minimum thresholds
Track Landing Pages:
  • Identify best entry points
  • Test new landing pages
  • A/B test and measure in Reports
