Explain it simply

Every month, a small marketing agency has to tell each client how their website and ads did. Instead of writing each report by hand, the team gives Claude, an AI chatbot, the numbers along with the client's goals, and it writes a first draft in plain English. The team adds its own comments, so each report takes about 10 minutes instead of 45.

What was done

Each month the team exports data from Google Analytics, Search Console and Ads and gives it to Claude with a prompt template that includes the client's goals and last month's benchmarks. Claude returns a structured report with insights, recommendations and plain-English explanations, and the team adds its own commentary.

ChatGPT handles large CSV exports and ad copy variations, and Canva AI resizes one design for every social format using each client's brand kit.

How it went

Client reports went from 45 to 10 minutes per client. A 1,500-word blog post takes about 90 minutes instead of 4–5 hours, and ad copy for a full campaign about 15 minutes instead of an hour.

  • The founder estimates Claude saves 4–5 hours a week, ChatGPT 2–3 and Canva 2–3. Those add up to 8–11 hours; the post calls it 10+.
  • The time figures are the founder's own estimates, published on the agency's course site, which sells an AI course based on these workflows.
  • People keep research, fact-checking, strategy and client relationships, every draft is edited, and the post warns against putting sensitive client data into AI tools.

Write a structured report: 1) headline results vs goals and last month,

missing, say so."

Business fit

Who this helps, and how:

  • Agencies and freelancers: feed each client's monthly exports and goals into one reusable prompt and spend your time on the commentary.

    Agencies

  • Retail store owners: turn your point-of-sale and website exports into a plain-English monthly summary of what changed.

    Local & service

  • Startup founders and e-commerce sellers: have AI summarize Search Console and ads exports into the three things to act on this month.

    Shopify & ecommerce

  • Independent contractors (barbers, bartenders, consultants): send clients a short monthly results report without building it by hand.
