What Is Report By Click Date

You can find the Report by Click Date option in the Attribution Settings of the FunnelVision report.

When selecting a date range in this mode, you are selecting the clicks that occurred during the given range and displaying the sales generated by those clicks.

This approach differs from the Reporting by Conversion Date, where all sales within a given date range are considered for attribution reporting, regardless of when the clicks occurred in the customer journey.

Report by Click Date is recommended when analyzing for accounting purposes

You can ask a question similar to "In March, I purchased $5,000 worth of clicks, how much revenue came from those clicks" or "In March, I purchased $5,000 worth of clicks, how much revenue after the month of March from those clicks?"

Why You Need This

Oftentimes, if your customer journey can take a bit longer you may want to analyze your data based only on the sales that came from a specific cohort of clicks.  This mode of analysis doesn't care about sales that occurred today because of clicks from months prior.  It helps to understand the direct impact of a specific set of clicks.

How To Use The FunnelVision Report when Report by Click Date

FunnelVision takes every click in the selected Date Range and finds the sales the came specifically as a result of those clicks.  The sales are then broken into "Date Range" sales which occured during the same selected date range and "Future" sales which occured from those clicks, but were transacted up to 90 days after the selected date range.

Using FunnelVision Reporting By Click Date

Filters and Settings

  • Attribution Model determines which clicks in the selected Date Range to consider for the cohort of clicks to report on
    • Any Click: Any click in the selected date range is considered when determining Date Range and Future Revenue.  If the customer had multiple clicks during the selected date range, the earliest one is used.
    • First Click Only: Only the customer's tracked First Click, if within the selected Date Range, is considered when determining Date Range and Future Revenue
    • Last Click Only: Only the customer's Last Click prior to a sale, if within the selected Date Range, is considered when determining Date Range and Future Revenue.  If the customer had multiple purchases and multiple "Last Clicks" during the selected date range, the earliest one is used.


  • Revenue Breakdown Linear or Full Impact (see below)
    • On used in when "Any Click" is selected for "Clicks to Consider"

Revenue Breakdown (ONLY when using "Any Click" for Attribution Model)

Linear

With Linear Revenue breakdown, every attributed order and it's revenue is divided among all the customer's tracked clicks from the selected Date Range

If a customer made 5 clicks in the selected Date Range for a given order, then every one those clicks will get .2 (20%) of the sale.

Example:

  • Date Range: June 2023
  • Order Date: June 23, 2023
  • The customer made 4 clicks in the month of June prior to placing the order (2 Facebook Ads, a Google Ad and an Email).
  • Each Click will show .25 (25%) of a sale
    • Facebook Ad 1: .25 sales
    • Facebook Ad 2: .25 sales
    • Google Ad 1: .25 sales
    • Email: .25 sales 

 

Full Impact

With Full Impact Revenue breakdown, every click a customer made in the selected Date Range prior to the customer placing the order, will get full credit for a sale.

Example:

  • Date Range: June 2023
  • Order Date: June 23, 2023
  • The customer made 4 clicks in the month of June prior to placing the order (2 Facebook Ads, a Google Ad and an Email).
  • Each Click will show 1 sale
    • Facebook Ad 1: 1 sale
    • Facebook Ad 2: 1 sale
    • Google Ad 1: 1 sale
    • Email: 1 sales 

The Summary Data will still show only 1 sale.  It will NOT overcount.  However, the rows in the grid will allow for each row that deserves a sale, to get one.

Date Range and Future Revenue For Cohort

A breakdown of all the attributed sales and revenue displayed by whether the sales occured during the selected Date Range (Date Range Revenue) or up to 90 days after the selected Date Range (Future Revenue)

Future Revenue is the revenue genereated up to 90 days AFTER the selected Date Range, from clicks that occured in the selected Date Range. 

If your selected Date Range goes until "yesterday", there are no Future Sales and Revenue to show.

New Customer Value and Cost to Acquire

New Customer Value chart takes the customers with an attributed relevant click during the selected Date Range and plots their avg. value and nCAC over the first 90 Days from their relevant click.

Click Date: Average New Customer value and nCAC on the Click Date used, for new customers who clicked during the selected Date Range and made their first purchase the same day

30 Days: Average New Customer value and nCAC 30 days after the Click Date used, for new customers who clicked during the selected Date Range and made their first purchase up to 30 days later

60 Days: Average Customer value and nCAC 60 days after the Click Date used, for new customers who clicked during the selected Date Range and made their first purchase up to 60 days later

90 Days: Average Customer value and nCAC 90 days after the Click Date used, for new customers who clicked during the selected Date Range and made their first purchase up to 90 days later

When using Facebook View-Through Conversions, the CAC calculation is estimating how many of your Facebook View-Through conversions were new customers and assumes their first purchase was day of the view-through conversion. 

The costs are applied on the Click Date for this chart.

Revenue Section ("Date Range" Sales and Revenue)

Total Revenue is a De-Duplicated sum of the "Date Range" revenue from the attributed sales during the selected time period and filters. 

The Pie Chart is a De-Duplicated breakdown of "Date Range" revenue from New Sales vs. Repeat Sales.  See at a glance what percentage of sales are a customer's first sale or a repeat sale.

When in the Overall Channel and hover over the Total Revenue, there will be a breakdown of Attributed Revenue, Unattributed Revenue and Pre-wicked Revenue.

  • Unattributed sales all the sales in which no tracked clicks occurred during the selected date range
  • Pre-wicked sales all sales from leads that were acquired prior to using Wicked Reports

Along the Top-Right, is a breakdown of "Date Range" One-Time Revenue (and Sales), New Subscription Revenue (and Sales) and Recurring Subscription Revenue (and Sales)

At the Top is a Customer aLTV.  This customer aLTV is calculated by taking all the attributed sales' Customers from the selected Date Range and provides an Avg. lifetime value from those specific customers.  Hovering will also provide the nLTV value for the New Customers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Why doesn't my shopping cart sales match what I see in Wicked Report

Reporting by Click Date is unlikely to match your shopping cart results.  The reason is that your shopping cart is showing you all the sales that occurred on a specific day or set of days.  Reporting by Click Date is only looking at sales that occurred because of clicks that also occurred during your selected date range (and up to 90 days after).  So, it's possible there were sales that happned, but no click was tracked during the selected Date Range.  Those sales are ignored when Reporting by Click Date.  Reporting by Conversion Date instead will allow you to align your reporting with all the sales occurred in selected Date range

  • What does "Ignore Organic Clicks?" Do?

Organic clicks are any clicks recorded without any UTMs or tracking parameters.  These are clicks we've bucketed into organic campaigns "Direct", "Organic Search", "Referral" and "Social".

When Ignoring Organic Clicks, FunnelVision will process the reports as though these clicks never occurred.  Using Full Impact Revenue Breakdown, there won't be much difference in the reporting.  Using Linear is where there's likely a bigger difference.  Linear Revenue Breakdown splits credit for a sale among all the eligible clicks that occurred in the TOF, MOF and BOF.  If you include Organic clicks, there are more clicks used in the calculation and can dilute the credit your paid ads, emails and sms will get for a sale.  This is why when analyzing paid marketing, we recommend ignoring Organic clicks.

  • What is included in "Future" Sales and Revenue
The "Future" portion of data is taking all the relevant clicks (based on your selected "Clicks to Consider") and finding any sale that occured after those clicks, up to 90 days AFTER the selected Date Range.  Any sale that occurs during the selected date range is considered a "Date Range" Sale and any sale that occurs more than 90 days after the selected Date Range is ignored. 
  • Why does New Customer Cohort not match FunnelVision New Customers (within a channel)?

For any given channel, the amount of sales (and customers) is calculated differently.  Cohort is using ROI Report attribution points (First Click First Optin, Last Click and Re-Optin) So, unless you are in Overall Channel, you should not expect New Customer Cohort to match FunnelVision New Customers

  • Why doesn't the Facebook Columns data match what I see in Facebook?

Facebook columns are pulled in once daily.  This means that are NOT live.  Be sure to NOT include today, in your Facebook date range.

Also be aware that when the Facebook data columns were added to Wicked Reports, only 30 days worth of data was imported.  So, if you are going back before May 2023, the data may not be complete.  Note: If you need more data imported, please contact support and they can help you get more Facebook data into your Wicked Reports account

  • How do I compare two date ranges?

To compare multiple date ranges, toggle the Compare to period option in the filters and select a previous time period to compare.  After you apply the changes, you will see the up/down trend for the data points.  If you hover over the up/down trend, you will see the value from the previous period to show why the trend is up/down.
