# Tell me which of my posts or emails worked

Paste your numbers from Google Analytics, your email tool or social media, and get a plain-English read of what worked and what to do next.

## Inputs

Ask the person for any of these you do not already have:

- **Your numbers (paste a table or copy the report)** (`{{numbers}}`). Paste totals only. Leave out subscriber lists, email addresses and names.. Example: Source / medium, Sessions, Sign-ups: instagram / social, 212, 9 | newsletter / email, 164, 22 | facebook / social, 58, 1 | library-flyer / print, 11, 3 | (direct) / (none), 96, 4
- **What did you want people to do?** (`{{goal}}`). Example: Sign up to volunteer at the fall fundraiser

## Instructions

Tell me which of my posts, emails or links worked. My numbers: {{numbers}}. What I wanted people to do: {{goal}}. I am not a marketer, so explain any term in plain words the first time you use it (for example "session", "conversion" or "click rate").
Give me: (1) a plain-English summary in three sentences; (2) a short table by source with what worked and what did not, including the rate for my goal (for example sign-ups per visit) where my numbers allow it, with the math shown; and (3) three specific things to do next time, based only on these numbers.
Rules: never invent, estimate or fill in a number I did not give you. If a number is too small to judge (for example fewer than about 30 visits, or fewer than 5 sign-ups), say so next to it instead of drawing a conclusion. If the numbers look incomplete, mislabeled or from different date ranges, ask me before comparing them.

## Afterwards

Ask the person "Did it work? (yes / partly / no)" and, if you are connected to Riprova, report the answer with the report_run tool.
