Marketing Analytics Interpreter
Interpret marketing analytics to surface acquisition, engagement, and retention insights
What You Can Do
You can upload marketing analytics exports from Google Analytics 4 or Mixpanel and receive structured analysis of your acquisition funnels, engagement patterns, and retention cohorts. The skill calculates critical metrics like Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Lifetime Value (LTV), and Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), performs multi-touch attribution analysis across channels, identifies performance anomalies, and delivers executive-ready insights with prioritized, specific recommendations for optimization.
Features
diagnoses drop-off points and bottlenecks at each conversion stage
evaluates first-touch, last-touch, and data-driven attribution across channels
segments users by acquisition date/source and tracks long-term retention trends
computes CAC, LTV, ROAS, payback period, and channel efficiency ratios
flags unusual patterns in traffic, conversion rates, or user behavior
compares acquisition channels by volume, cost, quality, and ROI
translates data into narrative insights with clear strategic implications
prioritizes next steps with estimated impact and implementation effort
Example Output
Input: GA4 export showing 45K sessions across organic, paid search, and social with conversion data by source
Output:
- Acquisition Bottleneck Identified: Paid search converts at 3.2% (target: 4.5%), driven by high bounce rate on landing page variant B. Recommendation: pause variant B, reallocate budget to variant A.
- Attribution Insight: Last-touch model credits organic with 38% of conversions, but data-driven attribution shows paid search deserves 52% credit (top-of-funnel awareness driver). Budget allocation should shift 15% from display to search.
- Cohort Alert: Q3 cohorts show 40% week-1 retention vs. 55% for Q4 cohorts. Onboarding change in late October correlates with improvement — systematize that workflow.
- CAC by Channel: Organic $8, Paid Search $24, Social $31. LTV estimated at $180. Social breakeven point: month 7 (risky). Recommend reducing social spend by 30%.
