  1. Before you launch

    Campaign naming sheet

    Columns for owner, date, destination, source, medium, campaign and the finished URL, with three example rows to replace. Everyone tags links the same way.

  2. Before you launch

    Campaign link builder

    Paste a page address, enter the source, medium and campaign, and get a correctly tagged link. It replaces old tags on the address, so a link never carries two sources.

  3. Checkout

    Payment link check

    Answer five questions about where buyers click and what you have checked. It tells you the next check that lets a Stripe Payment Link sale be traced back to the visit.

  4. Every month

    Monthly report builder

    Fill in ten short fields, from reporting dates and results against your goal to what the evidence shows and one next action. It formats a one-page report to copy or print.

  5. Every month

    ROAS and ROI calculator

    Enter revenue, ad spend, margin and other marketing costs to see ROAS next to cost-based ROI and your break-even point. A 3x ROAS can still lose money.

    Acquisition cost calculator

Sound familiar?

  • Everyone names campaigns differently

    "Facebook", "facebook" and "fb" become three sources, and one campaign is split across the report.

  • The monthly report eats a day

    Numbers come from four tools, and the summary gets rewritten from scratch every month.

  • Ad spend isn't the whole cost

    Leave out your team, agencies and tools, and acquisition cost looks far better than it is.

How to use the workbook

  1. Set it up once

    Enter your margin and monthly goal in Settings, and trim the channel, source and medium lists to the ones you use.

  2. Before each launch

    Log the link in Campaign Links and copy the finished URL once the check says OK.

  3. Each month

    Add one row per channel to Monthly Data, pick the month on Monthly Report and write one next action.

  4. Each quarter

    Fill in team, content and tool costs on Acquisition Cost, and run the Tracking Checklist after any site change.

Common questions

Do I need an email address or account to download these?

No. The workbook and every worksheet download directly from this page.

What format are they?

The workbook is an .xlsx file for Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The naming sheet is a CSV file that opens in Google Sheets, Excel or Numbers. The other five are single HTML files: open them in any browser, fill them in, and they work without an internet connection. Use your browser's print option to save a filled-in copy as a PDF.

What is the difference between the workbook and the worksheets?

The workbook is the complete system: seven tabs that share one set of settings and one monthly data table, with about 2,100 formulas and three example months so you can see the report working. The six worksheets each do one quick job, such as building a single tagged link, and came from individual guides.

Does the workbook work in Google Sheets?

Yes. In Google Sheets choose File, then Import, upload the file and pick Replace spreadsheet. Formulas, dropdowns and colors carry over. It also opens in Excel, Numbers and LibreOffice.

Are the numbers in the workbook real?

They are an example business from August to October, so the report and acquisition cost tabs show results the moment you open them. Overwrite the blue italic rows with your own numbers.

Which one should I start with?

Start with the campaign naming sheet and link builder. Consistent campaign tags are the base everything else depends on, and they cost nothing to fix before a launch. Add the payment link check if you sell through Stripe Payment Links.

What do the worksheets not do?

They organize numbers you already have. They can't tell you which visit led to which payment. That needs tracking on your site joined to your payment records, which is what Attriboo does automatically.

Tired of filling in spreadsheets?

Attriboo fills these numbers in for you: every visit, campaign and payment joined up, with revenue by source, ROAS next to real sales and a weekly email report.
