What is a marketing automation report?

A marketing automation report is a document that consolidates data from multiple sources (e.g., HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce) to track and display key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., lead scoring, email open rates, conversion rates), enabling teams and agencies to analyze automation workflows and campaign performance and create presentations for clients and executives. 

Marketing automation reports are typically created using flexible tools like Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Sheets, or platform-specific solutions to enable high customization and integration of multiple data sources.

What to include in a marketing automation report?

An actionable marketing automation report balances context and specificity based on the audience (executives, managers, and analysts) and their use cases.

Executive marketing automation reports

Executive reports for CMOs, CEOs, and clients show marketing automation's bottom-line impact. Reviewed weekly, monthly, or quarterly, they include:

  • Marketing ROI analysis: by automation workflow, using attribution models for large budgets (≈100k/mo).
  • Lead funnel analysis: lead generation, nurturing, and conversion metrics
  • Cohort analysis: retention, expansion, and LTV by customer cohort (sign-up period, acquisition channel)
  • Add text for additional context to translate metrics for non-technical audiences. Present in slide decks and simplified Looker Studio reports.

Marketing manager automation reports

Manager reports have cross-channel views with drill-downs to see performance by client, brand, region, team member, funnel stage, and campaign. They help align teams, define tactics, and include:

  • Cross-channel reporting: overall automation workflow, product, client, or region reporting across channels
  • Goal tracking: compare current performance vs objectives
  • Audits for prioritization and spotting issues 
  • Competitive analysis for channel and tactic mapping
  • Lead scoring and nurturing analysis

Operational Marketing Automation Reports

Operational reports for analysts and channel managers have granular, customizable KPIs to solve technical issues. Monitored hourly, daily, or weekly, they cover:

  • Email automation: delivery, open, click-through, conversion rates
  • Lead management: lead scoring, qualification, and assignment
  • Workflow performance: automation triggers, actions, and outcomes
  • CRM integration: contact updates, data syncing, and error tracking

Operational marketing automation reports are highly customized, built in flexible tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio to enable data cleaning, blending, annotations, and integrating multiple sources.
