Marketing analytics

You already have the data. Nobody has connected it.

Google Analytics, your CRM, your ad platforms, and the spreadsheet someone on your team maintains. Switchboard Partners routes all of it into one place you own, builds the reporting on top, and then stays on to keep it honest. Four weeks to build, starting at $5,000.

You are not short of data

You have Google Analytics. You have a CRM with a few years of deals in it. You have ad accounts spending real money every month. And somewhere there is a spreadsheet that somebody rebuilds by hand, because it is the only place those numbers ever meet.

They also disagree. Google Ads says 40 leads last month, HubSpot says 26, and Google Analytics has a third number. None of them is broken. Each counts something a little different, on a different day, and nobody has written down which one decides.

So when someone asks which channel is producing revenue, the honest answer takes most of a week to assemble, and nobody entirely believes it when it arrives.

And the question is rarely about marketing on its own. Whoever asks wants to know what revenue a campaign produced, and that answer lives half in your marketing systems and half in your sales pipeline, in two places that were never properly introduced.

That is not a problem you fix by buying another subscription. Nothing you already pay for talks to anything else, and nobody on your team has the time or the experience to connect it.

Enterprise consultancies solve exactly this, for enterprise money. Very few people solve it well at your size. That gap is the reason this practice exists.

Three ways to work together

01 / BUILD

Warehouse buildout

Four weeks, fixed fee. One agreed definition for every number your business argues about, including cost per qualified lead and revenue by channel, and one dashboard that answers the questions you named in week one. Behind it, your Google Analytics, HubSpot and ad accounts all feed one data warehouse (BigQuery) in your own Google Cloud account.

From $5,000

02 / KEEP

Ongoing analysis

Data connections break, and ad and analytics platforms change how they send data without telling anybody. Monitoring, repairs, definition updates when your business changes what it counts, and a working session where somebody senior tells you what the numbers say and what to do about it.

From $1,500 a month

03 / LEAD

Fractional analytics leadership

For companies that cannot justify a full-time analytics hire but still need somebody accountable for what gets measured and why.

By conversation

One senior analyst, start to finish

Switchboard Partners is a small practice. Everything below follows from that.

I have been in marketing analytics and strategy since 2012, and my day job is running analytics across a portfolio of B2B companies. None of the work described on this site is something I will be attempting for the first time on your budget. It is what I do every day, at a scale most companies your size will never need.

What a practice this size gets you is that the person who scopes the work is the person who does it. No account manager sits between you and the answer. No junior analyst learns your business at your expense. It is also why the price can be fixed. There are no idle staff to keep busy.

You own it when it is over

The warehouse lives in your own Google Cloud project. You pay Google directly. Everything that turns your raw data into reports is stored in an account you control, every definition behind every number is written down, and another analyst could pick the whole thing up without calling me first. Every number on the dashboard traces back to individual records, so you can check any of them without me.

That is on purpose. Hiring a one-person practice should not mean depending on one person forever. Ongoing work runs month to month, with 30 days notice and no minimum term. Clients who stay do it because platforms keep changing.

Who this is for

A good fit usually looks like this:

  • A marketing leader at a company somewhere between $5M and $50M in revenue
  • Google Analytics, a CRM, and at least one ad platform already in place. HubSpot on any plan works; Enterprise is not required.
  • At least three questions you cannot currently answer that would change a decision if you could
  • A budget that can absorb $5,000 without a board meeting

When to call somebody else

If nobody has looked at your reporting in a year, an audit costs a great deal less than a buildout, and I would rather tell you that on the first call than after the invoice.

If you need this finished in two weeks, I am not your best option. Only a small number of engagements run at a time, which is how I do every one of them myself.

Do you run an agency?

Small agencies sell analytics they cannot always staff. Switchboard Partners does the buildout and the ongoing analysis behind your brand, and leaves your client relationship where it belongs.

Start with the questions, not the systems

The first conversation is not a demo, and there is no budget dropdown. Tell me the three things you cannot answer right now. I will tell you whether four weeks and $5,000 fixes it, and if it does not, I will tell you that too.
