“I didn’t know Raven Tools could do that!”
While we’re hard at work on making SEO easier for freelancers, agencies and in-house marketers with some new data sources and improved tools I thought it’d be useful to help surface the most useful tools and capabilities within our marketing platform that may surprise even long term Raven Users.
There’s MORE than what you see in our WYSIWYG Report Tool
Did you notice that our Dashboard feature has some new elements? We realized that some users might have created a Dashboard for a campaign, only to realize that they’re the only ones who could see it! Well, we fixed it! You can now publish your Dashboard so it’s sharable to other users or clients, just like a normal WYSIWYG report!
The WYSIWYG Reports feature in Raven Tools is an essential ingredient in a digital marketing professional’s arsenal. When you are invoicing clients thousands of dollars each month for digital marketing services, you had better be able to back it up with real and unambiguous data. An excel sheet simply won’t cut it. Raven Tools’ WYSIWYG Reports are impeccably designed and professional-looking.
My clients (even the non-techies) are able to see the key information without sifting through arduous amounts of technical “mumbo-jumbo”. The reports are dead simple to create and customize, and I even set them to automatically send to my clients each month, making it effortless to demonstrate the value I provide.
I’m not sure what I would do without these reports. Everything else in the suite of features is (an extremely useful) bonus to me.
Get Even More Out Of Custom Widgets In WYSIWYG
We do offer pre-built sections that include most metrics that most people would want to report, but sometimes you want to capture a specific metric and display it for your client. Click on the “Create Custom Widget” once you’ve selected “Add More Metrics” and you can dig into each available datapoint and choose to display it as a KPI, Line Chart, Pie Chart, Bar Graph or Table.
