Daily Paid Acquisition and Website Intelligence Report

What it does

Most paid acquisition reports treat website behavior and ad platform data as separate questions. This workflow connects them. Three agents run in sequence every day at 8 AM. Agent 1 pulls website analytics from Databox – sessions, bounce rate, pages per session, session duration, goal completions, and conversion rate vs the prior 7 days. Agent 2 pulls paid platform data for every connected ad source – spend, clicks, CPC, CTR, impressions, and ROAS with WoW deltas. Agent 3 receives both outputs, runs cross-channel correlation analysis without making any additional API calls, and produces the insight layer that neither dataset can show alone: which paid channels drive the highest-quality visitors (lowest bounce rate, highest conversion rate), estimated cost per website conversion by channel, an efficiency ranking of all active platforms, and exactly 3 specific budget recommendations grounded in the data. Output is a styled HTML email delivered daily. Requires a Databox account with at least one website analytics source and one paid ads platform connected.

Built on Databox

No AI hallucinations. Analysis built on a real context layer.

Ask a generic AI to analyse your business performance and it will give you a confident answer. It will also be working from assumptions.

Generic AI doesn't know how your business defines a qualified lead, what your MRR calculation includes, or how you attribute revenue. It fills those gaps with the most plausible interpretation it can find — which is different from the correct one.

The products here run on Databox's data layer — if you choose so. Your metric definitions, your reporting logic, and your live numbers are what the AI reads, pulled straight through Databox MCP instead of uploaded by hand. That's the difference between an output you can share with your team and one you have to verify before you trust it.

Common questions

Do I need a Databox account to use this skill?

Yes, ideally — and here's why it matters. Point a generic AI at a raw data export and it has to guess what your numbers mean: which conversions count, how you define an engaged session, what a "normal" week looks like. It fills those gaps with the most plausible interpretation it can find, which is often not the correct one. The skill avoids that by reading your data live from Databox through MCP, where your metrics are already standardized — one consistent definition for sessions, engagement, and conversions across your setup. The AI reads what's actually true for your business instead of inferring it, so the report is one you can trust rather than verify. You can technically run it against data you've pasted in by hand, but you lose that context layer and the output is only as reliable as the export. If you don't have an account or data source connected yet, the skill walks you through the setup.

Can I use this with the free Databox plan?

Yes — the free Databox plan includes the integration this skill needs, so you can run it at no cost. The skill itself is also free to download.

Does this use live data from my connected source?

Yes — every run reads your live data directly from Databox through the MCP connection. The report reflects your current data at the moment you run it, not a cached or uploaded snapshot.

Do I need to export data manually?

No — there are no CSV exports and no copy-paste. The skill pulls your data straight from Databox through MCP each time it runs, so the report is always built from your live source.

Can agencies run this for multiple clients?

Yes — run it against each client's data connected in Databox, one account at a time, and you get the same structured weekly brief for every client. It's built to give a consistent report you can take to each client review.

Can I customize the report?

Yes. Before it runs, the skill asks a few onboarding questions — what you want to measure, the time frame, and any context that matters for the analysis — so the report is shaped to your goals from the start. After a run, you can give it feedback to adjust focus, sections, or anomaly thresholds, and reinstall the updated version so your changes carry into future runs.
