Measuring KPIs in Excel is still the majority option for small and medium-sized teams, but the choice between a spreadsheet, a BI tool, or a connected dashboard changes a lot depending on the data volume and who is going to read the metrics. Here is a practical comparison of the three most common routes, with […]
Before choosing which personnel metrics you are going to measure, decide which system you will use to capture them. Many HR teams start the wrong way round: they ask for a dashboard with the “most used” KPIs and then discover that their ERP does not export the employee’s termination date or that turnover is calculated […]
The most frequently asked questions about HR KPIs Anyone who works with personnel data knows that the theory of indicators is simple; the hard part is deciding which ones to measure, how to interpret them, and when to stop using them. These are the questions that come up again and again in HR teams, with […]
Why a KPI is not what appears on the dashboard In an ecommerce project with around 4,000 SKUs, the team celebrated a growing organic traffic KPI for months. The problem came when we cross-referenced that data with transactions: the growth came from discontinued product pages that were receiving visits from people searching for the old […]
Before defining a KPI: the four-question filter A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a metric that you have deliberately chosen to answer whether you are closer to or further from a specific objective. The key lies in “deliberately chosen”: not every piece of data your system produces is a KPI, and that is where most […]
There is a scene that repeats itself in almost every measurement meeting: someone projects a dashboard with twenty metrics in green, and even so, no one knows whether the campaign worked. The problem is almost never the tool. It is the layer of beliefs that has been built around digital marketing KPIs. Here are six […]
Confusing a KPI with an objective is not a semantic detail: it is the silent cause of dashboards that no one looks at and of teams that celebrate figures that do not move the business. The objective is the destination; the KPI is the speedometer. When they get mixed up, the speedometer ends up driving […]
A sales KPI is not a pretty number on a dashboard: it is a signal that tells you whether the sales team is moving forward or just moving. For someone starting to measure, the most common mistake is accumulating metrics without first deciding what they will do with them. Here are concrete examples, with the […]
A goal without a KPI is an intention; a KPI without a goal is an orphaned number. This checklist helps you separate them in practice, especially when an analytics dashboard starts filling up with metrics that nobody knows the purpose of. Quick checklist: is it a goal or a KPI? Check each box. If you […]
The 2026 shift: less vanity metrics, more pipeline velocity If you look at sales dashboards from three or four years ago, you’ll see a collection of metrics that today generate more noise than decisions: number of calls, emails sent, raw leads. The recent trend among sales teams involves measuring the pace at which an opportunity […]
Most businesses I know don’t fail with KPIs because they don’t have them, but because they build a dashboard with twenty metrics that nobody looks at after the third week. Defining useful KPIs is an exercise in cutting back, not accumulating. Start with the decision, not the metric A KPI only makes sense if it […]
I have used Similarweb in three different contexts: an agency evaluating prospects before a proposal, a client who wanted to “spy” on their direct competition, and a project of my own where I needed a quick traffic figure for a report. In all three cases the tool worked, but never in the way people expect […]
When someone reviews the acquisition report in Analytics and sees that most of the traffic comes through “Direct,” they usually accept it without further thought. That gesture is, probably, the most costly mistake made when analyzing web traffic sources. Direct traffic doesn’t mean “people who typed your URL by hand”: it absorbs mislabeled email campaigns, […]
Setting up mobile traffic measurement isn’t about ticking a box and forgetting about it. It requires deciding which analytics property to use, how to separate desktop traffic from smartphone traffic, and what to do when the data doesn’t add up. Here’s the concrete process, with the points where it usually breaks down. Step 1: choose […]
Can you see the real traffic of any domain? Not exactly. Tools like Semrush, Ahrefs or SimilarWeb estimate visits based on clickstream panels, provider data and statistical models. According to the documentation of these platforms, their figures are approximations: they get the order of magnitude right for large sites, but they fail on small domains […]
Measuring a website’s organic traffic seems simple until you open a dashboard full of metrics and don’t know what to look at first. This practical guide is designed for anyone who has just published their first site or manages one for a small business and needs to interpret the data without getting lost. What counts […]
Before trusting any traffic figure, it’s worth being clear about what you’re measuring and with which tools. This checklist gathers the steps I apply when someone asks me to validate the visit volume of a domain, whether their own or someone else’s. 1. Define which traffic you want to check Organic traffic (natural search): the […]
Seeing how many people are browsing your site right this very moment sounds like a premium dashboard feature, but you can put it together with pieces you already have. The interesting part isn’t the counter: it’s interpreting the signal without fooling yourself. Let’s get to the actual setup. Step 1: choose the data source before […]
When someone wants to know how many visits a website receives from search engines, the first thing they discover is that serious numbers are almost never free. The useful question isn’t “which tool do I use,” but “how much am I willing to pay for a piece of data that, deep down, will always be […]
Before opening Analytics: what you need to be clear about Google Analytics doesn’t measure people, it measures sessions and events. That distinction, which sounds academic, completely changes how you interpret the numbers. If your website receives 2,000 visits a month but only 400 users, you don’t have 2,000 interested people: you have 400 people who […]
