Before we begin

The average client marketing report takes 3-4 billable hours when done manually — pulling data from multiple platforms, reconciling discrepancies, building charts, and writing the narrative. That's time you could be spending on strategy, optimization, or winning new clients.

With this guide, you'll build a complete client reporting workflow in Querri that automates cross-channel data unification, performance analysis, and narrative generation — so you can deliver polished, professional reports in minutes and spend your billable hours on work that actually justifies your retainer.

How it works:

• Connect or upload your client's marketing data from any platform (Google Ads, Meta, GA4, HubSpot, etc.)
• Ask Querri to unify, clean, and standardize across sources — even when your client's naming conventions are inconsistent
• Run a single prompt to generate a professional narrative report with period-over-period analysis and performance highlights
• Review, add your strategic recommendations, and export to Excel, PowerPoint-ready charts, or Google Sheets
• Save as a reusable template — your next client report runs automatically on schedule

1 Step 1:

Connect your client's marketing data sources

Upload CSV or Excel exports from your client's Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and GA4 accounts — or pull data directly from HubSpot, Google Drive, and BigQuery through Querri's connectors. Querri handles the data profiling and preparation automatically.

Tip: You can connect multiple clients' data sources in separate projects. Each client gets their own clean, organized workspace — no cross-contamination, no manual file sorting.

2 Step 2:

Unify and standardize cross-platform data

Ask Querri to clean and unify your client's data in plain language. For example:

Prompt

"Standardize campaign names across Google Ads and Meta for Client ABC, then join with GA4 conversion data by UTM parameters."

Querri profiles the data, detects inconsistencies (like "Spring_Sale" vs "spring-sale-2024"), and standardizes everything automatically. No manual cleanup, no spreadsheet gymnastics.

3 Step 3:

Generate client-ready performance narrative

This is where Querri saves you hours. Ask for a complete client report:

Prompt

"Create a client report showing spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, and CPA by channel for last month."

Querri analyzes the data, identifies trends, and writes the performance narrative — the part that usually takes the longest. You get a professional, client-ready draft, not just raw numbers.

4 Step 4:

Add your strategic recommendations

Querri handles the "what happened." You add the "so what" — your strategic recommendations, campaign optimizations, and next steps that justify your retainer.

This is where you earn your fee. Ask follow-up questions in plain language to drill deeper for your client presentation:

• "Add top 3 insights and recommendations based on performance trends"
• "Which ad creatives drove the lowest CPA this month?"
• "Break down Google Ads performance by campaign objective"

5 Step 5:

Deliver results your way

You have complete control over how you package and deliver client reports. Use Querri's AI-generated presentations for instant, polished decks — or export individual components and build reports in your existing system.

What you can create or export:

AI-generated presentations with 25 professional slide templates, interactive charts, and your agency branding
Custom dashboards you can share with clients for ongoing performance monitoring
Charts as PNG or SVG (SVG is editable in PowerPoint for your branded decks)
Multi-tab Excel files with formatted tables and figures
Export presentations to PDF or PowerPoint for offline delivery

Pro tip: If you already have a reporting template you love, just copy the narrative text and download the charts. Querri fits into your workflow, not the other way around.

Tips for better client reports

Focus your billable hours on strategy, not spreadsheets

Let Querri handle data collection, cross-channel unification, and performance narrative. Reserve your billable time for strategic recommendations, campaign optimizations, and client consultations — the work that actually justifies your retainer.

Standardize client data naming early

Work with clients to establish consistent UTM parameters and campaign naming conventions from day one. If their existing data is messy, use Querri to standardize it once — then enforce clean naming going forward.

Tell the story, not just the numbers

Clients pay for insights, not spreadsheets. Prompt Querri to explain why performance changed and what it means for their business goals. Then add your agency's strategic point of view.

Build reusable templates for each client

Create one strong prompt structure for each client that covers their specific KPIs and business objectives. Save it, automate it, and refine based on what they actually ask about in meetings. This is how agencies scale without hiring.

Prepare for client questions before they're asked

Use Querri's conversational interface to drill into potential follow-up questions before the client meeting. "Why did CPL spike?" "Which creatives drove the best ROAS?" Have answers ready — it shows you've done your homework.

Under-promise, over-deliver

Set client expectations for the core metrics and insights they'll receive each reporting period. Then use Querri to add a few "bonus" insights or trend analyses that weren't promised — it builds trust and demonstrates proactive thinking.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Looker Studio, Power BI, or Supermetrics?

Tools like Looker Studio, Power BI, and Supermetrics handle data connectors and dashboards — but someone still has to interpret the charts, write the narrative, and build the client presentation. Querri does that interpretation layer automatically. It tells you what changed, why it likely changed, and what to do next — turning raw data into client-ready insights.

Can I manage reports for multiple clients with different data sources?

Yes. Each client can have their own connected data sources, branded templates, and custom KPIs. Run the same report structure across different client accounts and get tailored, professional reports for each — without rebuilding from scratch every time.

Can I white-label or customize reports for my agency brand?

Absolutely. Querri's AI-generated presentations automatically inherit your agency's brand colors and support custom theming. You can also export individual components — charts as PNG/SVG (editable in PowerPoint), or full analysis as Excel files — and build reports in your existing branded templates. Querri adapts to your workflow.

Does this replace my client reporting entirely?

No — and it shouldn't. Querri automates the time-consuming data collection, cross-channel analysis, and narrative drafting (roughly 80% of the work). You add the strategic recommendations, client context, and campaign insights that justify your retainer.

Can I customize metrics and KPIs for different clients?

Absolutely. Your prompt controls what goes into each report. One client might care about ROAS and conversion rates, while another focuses on brand metrics and engagement. Querri adapts to each client's priorities.

How long does it take to generate a client report?

Once your client's data is connected, generating a report typically takes a few minutes. First-time setup for each client — connecting sources, defining KPIs, and building the template — takes longer, but it's a one-time investment that saves hours every reporting cycle.

What formats can I deliver to clients?

Querri can generate complete AI-powered presentations with 25 professional slide templates, interactive charts, and your agency branding — ready to present or export as PDF/PowerPoint. You can also export individual components: charts as PNG/SVG (editable in PowerPoint), multi-tab Excel files with formatted tables, or custom dashboards you can share with clients. Complete flexibility.

What if my client asks follow-up questions during the presentation?

Unlike static reports, Querri lets you ask follow-up questions in plain language during client calls. If your client asks 'Why did our CPL spike last week?' or 'How does this compare to Q1?' you can get answers in real-time — without saying 'I'll get back to you on that.'

Can I automate recurring monthly or weekly client reports?

Yes. Once you've built a report template for a client, save it as an automated project that runs on schedule. Your client reports can be ready before the meeting — freeing up your time for strategy instead of spreadsheet wrangling.
