It helps you understand how users arrive on your website, how they convert, and how marketing performance connects to business outcomes.
What the Overview dashboard is for
The Overview dashboard is designed to help you answer questions such as:
Which sources or campaigns are driving traffic?
Which channels are generating visitors, leads, sales, and revenue?
How does website tracking compare with ad platform data?
How are key metrics changing over time?
Which campaigns or platforms may need closer review?
This dashboard brings together data from:
Website Tracking, captured by the GrowthOptix Tracking Script.
Ad Platforms, reported by connected platforms such as Meta, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and LinkedIn Ads.
Data Table View and Metric Chart View
At the top of the Overview dashboard, you can switch between two main views:
Data Table View
Metric Chart View
Data Table View
Data Table View displays detailed numeric data in table format.
This view is useful when you want to compare performance by source, campaign, ad campaign, ad group, or ad.
Use this view to review metrics such as:
Revenue.
Visitors.
Sales.
Paid Clicks.
Organic Clicks.
Page Views.
Sessions.
Leads.
Spend.
ROI.
ROAS.
Conversion Rates.
Cost metrics.
Metric Chart View
Metric Chart View displays selected metrics visually over time.
This view is useful when you want to understand trends, compare performance changes, or monitor how different metrics move across a selected period.
You can compare multiple metrics at once and use the previous period comparison to identify increases or decreases.
Summary cards
At the top of the dashboard, you’ll see summary cards that highlight important metrics for the selected date range.
These cards may include metrics such as:
Revenue.
Visitors.
Sales.
ROI.
ROAS.
Each card also shows the percentage change compared with the previous period, helping you quickly identify whether performance is improving or declining.
Some cards also show a label, such as Website Tracking, Ad Platforms, or Both, to indicate the data source used for that metric.
Customising your summary cards
You can customise which cards appear at the top of the Overview dashboard.
To do this, click Customise Cards.
From there, you can:
Choose which metrics are visible.
Hide metrics you do not need.
Reorder cards by dragging them.
Save your preferred layout.
This allows you to focus the Overview dashboard on the metrics that matter most to your team.
Website Tracking and Ad Platforms sections
The Overview dashboard separates data into two main areas:
Website Tracking
Ad Platforms
This separation helps you understand whether a metric is coming from activity captured on your website or data reported by connected ad platforms.
Website Tracking tabs
The Website Tracking section includes:
Sources.
Campaigns.
Sources
Sources show performance grouped by the origin of your website traffic, such as Google, Facebook, Organic, Microsoft, ChatGPT, Affiliate, or other tracked sources.
This helps you understand which traffic sources are driving activity and revenue.
Campaigns
Campaigns show performance grouped by tracked campaign values, typically based on UTM parameters such as utm_campaign.
This helps you compare specific marketing initiatives or promotions.
Ad Platforms tabs
The Ad Platforms section includes:
Ad Campaigns.
Ad Groups.
Ads.
These tabs show performance data from connected advertising platforms.
Ad Campaigns
Use this tab to compare performance across ad campaigns.
Ad Groups
Use this tab to analyze performance at the ad group level.
Ads
Use this tab to review individual ad-level performance.
These views can include ad platform metrics such as spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, CPC, CPM, ROAS, and difference metrics between ad platform data and website tracking data.
Source filters
When viewing Ad Platform data, you can filter by connected ad source.
Available source filters may include:
All.
Meta.
Google Ads.
Microsoft Advertising.
LinkedIn Ads.
This helps you focus only on the platform you want to analyze.
Attribution By selector
The Attribution By selector lets you choose how GrowthOptix assigns credit for conversions and revenue across marketing touchpoints.
Available attribution models may include:
First Touch.
Last Touch.
Last Touch (Advanced).
Linear.
Time Decay.
U-Shaped.
Changing the attribution model updates the dashboard data based on the selected attribution logic.
For example:
First Touch gives credit to the first tracked interaction.
Last Touch gives credit to the final tracked interaction before conversion.
Linear distributes credit across touchpoints.
Time Decay gives more weight to touchpoints closer to conversion.
U-Shaped gives more credit to the first and last touchpoints.
Date range selector
The date range selector controls the time period shown in the Overview dashboard.
You can choose preset ranges such as:
Last 30 Days.
This Month.
Last Month.
Last 3 Months.
Last 6 Months.
Last 12 Months.
All Time.
You can also select a custom date range using the calendar.
When you change the date range, all cards, tables, and charts update automatically.
Filters
The Filter option allows you to narrow the dashboard data based on specific dimensions.
Available filters may include:
Source.
Campaign.
Medium.
You can search for values, select one or more filters, and apply them to refine the dashboard.
This is useful when you want to focus on a specific traffic source, campaign, or marketing medium without leaving the Overview dashboard.
Columns
In Data Table View, you can use the Columns option to manage which table columns are visible.
This helps you simplify the table and focus only on the metrics you want to review.
Depending on the selected tab, available columns may include traffic, conversion, revenue, spend, cost, and attribution metrics.

A simple workflow is:
Select your date range.
Choose your attribution model.
Review the summary cards.
Choose between Website Tracking or Ad Platforms.
Select the relevant tab, such as Sources, Campaigns, Ad Campaigns, Ad Groups, or Ads.
Apply filters if needed.

This workflow helps you move from a high-level performance summary to a more detailed investigation.
