WEBSITE PERFORMANCE REPORTING · Workflow idea

See how this week compares with the same time last year.

Bring together website measures for the previous week and the matching period one year earlier. Prepare a clear comparison and short summary for the team, keeping dates, definitions, and data gaps visible so an owner can verify the findings before email or chat distribution.

Helps a marketing or product team notice year-over-year changes in website activity without assembling the comparison by hand.

  1. Choose the website and reporting schedule

    Confirm the authorized site and when the team wants the previous week’s results prepared.

  2. Gather the two comparison periods

    Organize the latest seven days and the matching dates from the prior year, making the boundaries explicit.

  3. Prepare a readable comparison

    Present selected measures side by side and clearly identify gaps, changes in coverage, and unavailable values.

  4. Review the summary and conclusions

    Have a report owner verify calculations, definitions, context, and any interpretation before relying on it.

  5. Approve report destinations and recipients

    Check the complete report, exact summary, and recipient list before sending by email or sharing in a chat.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A dated performance report with its comparison period and measures clear, ready for an owner to review before sharing.

Keep in mind

Website measures can be delayed, incomplete, or affected by changes in tracking and site coverage. Use aggregated information appropriate to the purpose, verify date ranges and metric definitions, and require a person to approve the report, exact wording, and recipient list before any email or chat message is sent.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select the website and reporting period

Choose the authorized property, weekly schedule, and rules for matching dates across years.

Agree on measures and report format

Define which aggregated website measures to include and how changes and missing data should be described.

Choose restricted report destinations

Select team-controlled locations and recipients who need the report, avoiding unnecessary user-level information.

Assign a report and message reviewer

Name who verifies the data and approves the exact report and all recipients before distribution.
