Client reporting

Client reports in the format your client opens.

HTML page, PDF, PowerPoint or Google Slides, built from the client's own accounts on the schedule you set, in your agency's voice. A person approves it before it leaves.

  • Every figure names its source and period
  • Editable in Google Slides
  • Never sent by Patricia herself
How you build it

Three messages, then it runs every month.

You tell her what to report on once. She turns it into a reporting skill for that client, puts it on a schedule and delivers it in the format you pick.

1

Define the report

The metrics, the sources, the comparison and your tone. She saves it as a reporting skill, so every run follows the same rules.

@Patricia build a reporting skill for Northwind: leads, cost per lead and ROAS from Google Ads and Meta, clicks from Search Console, vs last month. Flag anything 15% off target. Short sentences, no exclamation marks.

Set the schedule

Weekly, monthly or quarterly, per client, posted in that client's channel. She runs it once for your check first.

Thibaut
Run it on the 1st of every month at 07:00 and post it in the Northwind channel.

Pick the format

A page, a PDF, a PowerPoint or a Google Slides deck in the client's Drive. Change it any month with one line.

Thibaut
As a Google Slides deck in their Drive, plus the page link here.
Patricia APP
Done. Both will arrive on the 1st.
Google SlidesHTMLReport page
The format we like most: Google Slides

She builds the deck. You tweak it in Slides, no new prompt.

The report lands as a real Google Slides deck in the client's Drive, in your template. Change a headline, move a chart, add your own comment before the call. Every slide stays editable, so the last 5% takes a minute and never another round of prompting.

Any format

She doesn't stop at Slides. Any format your client opens.

Same data, same approval. The deck, a page, a PDF or their own PowerPoint template: you pick per client, and you can change it any month.

What she does

Ask once. Get it every week, every month.

On the schedule you set

Say it in the channel. Weekly digest on Monday, the full report on the 1st, a QBR deck each quarter. She writes the schedule back and posts the first run for your check.

"Schedule that to run monthly and deliver it in this channel." Next run written back with the time zone.
Skills scheduled-check-in client-report-draft

From the client's own numbers

Google Ads, Meta, GA4, Search Console, Stripe. Every figure names its comparison period and its source. She resolves what a "result" counts on each campaign before quoting a cost per result, and explains why the tools disagree instead of averaging them.

September, latest 30 days: 5,948 clicks, up 217 (+3.8%). CTR 2.26% to 2.13%. Search Console marked the last three days incomplete, so they may be revised.
Skills campaign-status conversion-definition metric-reconciliation

The format they open

An HTML page with a private link. A client-facing PDF or QBR deck. A PowerPoint with native charts and speaker notes, or edits to their existing deck that keep its template. A Google Slides copy in their Drive. Word and Excel when the ask names them.

Google Slides: charts arrive as pictures; the attached PowerPoint keeps them editable.

Your voice, your template, your approval

Drafted in the agency's or the client's voice, learned from real examples and from your corrections. The brand kit sets logo, colours and fonts. She never sends anything herself; the draft waits in the channel.

Correction once: "no exclamation marks, name the period in the first line." Kept for every report after.

Questions

What agencies ask about reporting.

Can we automate the reporting? +

Yes. Schedule it as you wish: weekly, monthly, quarterly, per client. The format and the content are up to you. There are skills that help you use our template, and it is fully flexible.

Does she send it to the client? +

No. She drafts it and waits for a yes from your team. After the yes she can post it in the client's shared channel, and the client can approve it there too.

Will it match our template? +

Yes. Give her your deck and she edits it while keeping the template. Give her the brand kit and every page, PDF and deck follows it. Corrections you make once are kept.

What if GA4 and Meta disagree on the same campaign? +

She explains why, sizes each cause, and states the part she cannot explain. She never reconciles to a single "true" number.

Ask once. Get it every month.

Bring one client's last report to the call. You leave with the next one scheduled, in the format they open.
