How to choose the right marketing dashboard

1. Start with decisions: what you’ll stop, start or scale based on data.
2. Limit to one page per role: channel owner, manager, executive.
3. Show goals vs actuals and annotate significant changes.
4. Add diagnostics only where you can take action the same week.
5. Automate data refresh and schedule reviews (weekly/monthly).
