Introducing 3 New Features to Ruler Analytics
We’re excited to announce the release of new functionality within the Ruler Analytics dashboard to help users further measure the effectiveness of their marketing activity.
We know many of you utilise our data outside of the Ruler Analytics platform to create custom reports, linking with campaign costs to analyse Return on Investment, Return on Ad Spend and Cost Per Acquisition.
We’ve now added the ability to feed campaign costs into Ruler, allowing you to quickly calculate key metrics to measure your marketing performance.
The cost tab will give you a breakdown of your entire marketing spend, taken directly from your keyword data. This release brings Google Ads costs into your dashboard, with Facebook and Microsoft Advertising development on the way soon.
Cost has been incorporated within Ruler reporting across the board, to provide actionable at-a-glance insight.
We’ve covered some of the key metrics you should be monitoring in our post ‘How Essential is B2B Marketing Measurement to other marketers’.
Within each report, you’ll find new columns including:
You can also upload offline campaign costs, such as conferences, events, print advertising and direct marketing.

You’ll find both options in your Site Setup settings
We can’t wait to see how customers make use of this new functionality.
