Daily: detect broken paths
Review only the signals that can reveal an urgent failure: traffic disappearance, destination errors, abrupt conversion loss, missing values, bot spikes, or a large discrepancy with the traffic source. Compare with the recent baseline and known campaign schedule before intervening. A low-volume day is not automatically a defect.
Assign an owner and response rule for each alert. The daily view should protect spend and reader experience, not invite constant creative or budget changes based on incomplete outcomes.
- Keep the daily dashboard small.
- Use thresholds based on normal variation.
Weekly: diagnose the controllable funnel
Group results by source, campaign, creative, landing page, and offer where the identifiers are stable. Compare clicks, conversion stages, value, cost, and known discrepancies. Ask which step changed and whether enough volume exists to distinguish a real pattern from noise.
Choose one bounded action per weak path: repair tracking, improve message match, change the landing page, adjust traffic, or continue gathering data. Preserve a baseline and annotate the date so the next review can evaluate the intervention.
- Do not change several variables together.
- Record the hypothesis and expected result.
Monthly: reconcile confirmed economics
Import or compare the destination record for sales, refunds, chargebacks, affiliate reversals, recurring payments, and approved commission. Align time zone and status dates, then explain material differences from ClickMagick's immediate conversion records. Maintain both views rather than overwriting early data with later outcomes.
Use confirmed contribution margin or commission for major budget allocation. A campaign with excellent click-through and weak approved revenue needs a different decision from a campaign whose revenue is merely delayed.
- Separate gross, net, and approved outcomes.
- Keep reconciliation adjustments auditable.
Quarterly: simplify the measurement system
List reports, events, parameters, integrations, and alerts that no longer support a decision. Remove or archive clutter, update naming standards, rotate access, re-test critical paths, and compare the current ClickMagick plan with actual usage. A higher plan is not valuable when the team ignores the additional data.
Use the quarterly review to document blind spots and decide whether GA4, the CRM, checkout, ad platforms, or another tracker should own a particular question. Clear ownership is more useful than forced agreement.
- Retire unused events and reports.
- Re-test one representative journey.
- Reconfirm plan fit and access.
