Client Reporting Dashboard

Inner Action Media, LLC operates an internal, read-only client-reporting dashboard that we use to compile monthly advertising and social-media performance reports for the clients we serve under agency service agreements. With each client’s authorization, the dashboard connects to the advertising and social-media platforms that client uses—including Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, TikTok, Google and YouTube, and other advertising platforms—and reads aggregate performance analytics such as impressions, reach, views, clicks, engagement, follower counts, and audience demographics.

The dashboard is strictly read-only. It retrieves analytics for reporting purposes only and never posts content, creates or manages advertising campaigns, sends messages, or modifies any account on a client’s or member’s behalf. We use this data solely to prepare performance reports for the client whose accounts it describes, store only aggregate reporting figures, and do not sell, rent, or share this data with third parties.

Questions about this dashboard or the data it uses can be directed to info@inneractionmedia.com.
