Marketing analytics, allows businesses to see the answers to such questions as; 

  • How is a business’s marketing initiatives performing? How will they perform in the future? What can a business do to improve their performance?
  • How does a business’s marketing activities compare with their competitors’? Where are businesses spending their money? Is a business using channels that competitors may not be? Where the gaps in a businesses marketing strategy?
  • How is a business’s attribution model working? Is there another attribution they could be using instead?
  • Is a business’s marketing resources properly allocated? Are businesses devoting time and money to the right marketing channels? How should they prioritize their investments for the following year?
