Power up your marketing game with Act-On Analytics!
Act-On Analytics is a powerful and flexible analytics experience, enabling at-a-glance overviews and deep-dive insights into your marketing campaigns and data using AI-powered answers and analysis and a comprehensive level of customization, displayed in Liveboards (live dashboards) and KPIs.
The three steps to realizing Act-On Analytics' power:
- Get Answers to your data or business questions by directly asking AI (or building queries, or applying standard queries to your data).
- Use Answers to create Liveboards (or use and edit standard Liveboards) and add KPI Answers to your watchlist.
- Use Spot IQ AI to analyze your Answers & data points for insights.
