An Alternative to Client Report Slide Decks with ThoughtMetric Custom Reports
Slide decks have been the default way agencies and marketing teams report performance to clients for years. They’re familiar, they’re expected, and they’re easy to circulate.

They’re also slow to build, hard to maintain, and sometimes contain a mistake or two from manually reporting (we’ve all been there). Do some of the following struggles sound familiar?

  • Logging into multiple platforms like Meta, Google Ads, Shopify, TikTok, and more.
  • Manually copying data into spreadsheets and slide decks.
  • Creating and formatting PDF reports to appear professional.

Good news, there’s an easier option.

With the ThoughtMetric Custom Reports feature, teams can replace static client report decks with an interactive view of performance that updates automatically and actually reflects how the business is operating.


How ThoughtMetric Custom Dashboards Replace Slide Decks


ThoughtMetric’s Custom Dashboards are designed for reporting without the manual work.

You can:
  • Create widgets that highlight core KPIs like revenue, ROAS, MER, and conversion rate
  • Break metrics down by channel, campaign, product, and more
  • Combine multiple visuals into a single, easy-to-navigate layout
  • Add or remove widgets as client priorities change.

Each dashboard tells a clear story, but stays flexible enough to answer follow-up questions on the spot. Reporting is less of a recurring task, as the clients can access the reports at any time, in real time. For day-to-day, weekly, and monthly client reporting, ThoughtMetric Custom Reports are faster and clearer.




A Smarter Way to Report


By replacing slide decks with ThoughtMetric Custom Reports, agencies and brands spend less time preparing reports and more time improving performance. Isn’t that the whole point of reporting in the first place?
