How long does it take to set up Xplainr?

Most teams are up and running in under 5 minutes. Simply connect your marketing channels using OAuth (no API keys needed), and you'll see your first AI-generated insight immediately. There's no complex configuration or data mapping required.

Absolutely. We use bank-level 256-bit AES encryption for all data in transit and at rest. We never store your raw marketing data, only the aggregated metrics needed to generate insights. Our platform is built with enterprise-grade security practices, and we never sell or share your data.

Which marketing platforms do you integrate with?

We currently support Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Search Console, Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram), and LinkedIn Ads. All integrations use secure OAuth authentication, so you never have to share passwords or API keys.

Can I try Xplainr before committing?

Yes! Start with our Free tier to connect one domain and get 5 AI insights per month, no credit card required.

What if Xplainr doesn't work for me?

No problem - all paid plans come with a 14-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime with one click. If you're not seeing value within the first two weeks, you won't be charged. We're confident you'll see ROI, but there's zero risk to try.

How is Xplainr different from Google Analytics or Looker Studio?

Those tools show charts and expect you to figure them out. Xplainr tells you what happened in plain English, explains why it happened, and recommends what to do next. Instead of building dashboards and manually hunting for patterns, you get AI-generated insights that explain anomalies, identify opportunities, and prioritize your daily actions.

Can my whole marketing team use Xplainr?

Yes! Starter plans include 3 team members, Pro plans include 10, and Enterprise plans have unlimited seats. Team members can share domains, assign action items from insights, and collaborate on priorities - all with role-based permissions.

Do I need technical skills to use Xplainr?

Not at all. Xplainr is built for marketing managers, not data scientists. You can ask Aria (our AI assistant) questions in plain English like 'Why did my conversion rate drop yesterday?' and get clear, actionable answers without writing any queries.

Feature

Predictive Marketing Forecasting

TL;DR: Xplainr's predictive forecasting uses AI to project future performance - revenue, conversions, traffic, spend efficiency - based on your historical data, seasonal patterns, and current trends. Stop guessing. Start planning.

Marketing planning is often based on gut feel or simple extrapolation. But your data holds predictive power - seasonal patterns, trend lines, and leading indicators that can forecast what's likely to happen next. Xplainr's AI unlocks this power, giving you data-driven forecasts for confident planning.

Why This Matters

Without forecasting, marketing teams are reactive - setting targets based on last year's numbers plus a growth percentage. This ignores changing competitive dynamics, seasonal shifts, channel maturation, and market conditions. It also makes it impossible to proactively adjust strategy before problems materialize.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the forecasts?

Accuracy depends on data history and volatility. With 6+ months of data, forecasts are typically within 10-15% for stable channels. Xplainr always shows confidence intervals so you know the reliability range.

How far ahead can it forecast?

Xplainr can forecast up to 12 months ahead, though accuracy naturally decreases with longer horizons. Short-term (1-4 weeks) forecasts are most reliable.

Does it account for new campaign launches?

Yes. You can add planned campaign launches to scenario models. AI estimates their impact based on similar historical campaigns and channel benchmarks.

Can I use forecasts for budget planning?

Absolutely. That's a primary use case. Model different budget scenarios, see projected outcomes, and choose the allocation that maximizes your target metrics.
