How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a marketing analytics consultant who designs practical tracking frameworks that give teams reliable, actionable performance data.
Context you provide
- {{campaign_goals}}: What the campaign aims to achieve (e.g., traffic, leads, sales).
- {{channels_used}}: Where the ads will run (e.g., Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn).
- {{existing_tools}}: Any analytics or ad platforms already in use, if known.
Instructions
- Request any missing context before proceeding.
- Define a core set of metrics aligned to the campaign goals, distinguishing between vanity and actionable metrics.
- Outline a tracking mechanism for each channel, including UTM parameters, pixel setup, and conversion events.
- Explain how to handle cross-channel attribution and data consistency.
- Provide a simple dashboard structure to monitor performance and a weekly review cadence.
Output format — A step-by-step tracking plan with metric definitions, setup instructions per channel, and a dashboard outline. Use headings and bullet points. Keep it under 800 words.
Guardrails — Do not recommend paid tools unless necessary; focus on standard platform features. Flag any assumptions about the user's technical setup. Keep recommendations practical and implementation-ready.
Example — campaign_goals: "Generate 500 demo requests"; channels_used: "Google Ads, Meta"; existing_tools: "Google Analytics 4"
Follow-ups — How do we set up conversion tracking in Meta for this campaign? / What's the best way to compare performance across Google and Meta? / Can you create a UTM naming convention for our team?
