# Understand analytics and transactions

Analytics and transaction history help you improve results and manage finances responsibly.

## What to monitor weekly

Key signals:

* Profile visits
* Update engagement patterns
* Link-sharing impact
* Contribution and sponsorship conversion trends

## What to monitor monthly

* Revenue by funding model (one-off, recurring, sponsorship)
* Retention trends for recurring support
* Tier performance and uptake
* Sponsorship pipeline progression

## Transaction hygiene

Review transactions regularly to:

* Track incoming support
* Reconcile expected vs actual amounts
* Spot delays and exceptions early

## Connect insights to action

Use this loop:

1. Publish updates and share profile
2. Review analytics and conversion
3. Improve offers and messaging
4. Repeat with small weekly improvements

## Troubleshooting

### Traffic is rising but revenue is flat

* Improve sponsorship tier clarity
* Add stronger calls to action on profile and updates
* Share progress-linked funding asks

### Revenue is inconsistent month to month

* Build recurring support options
* Improve posting consistency
* Strengthen sponsor follow-up and reporting

## FAQ

### Which metric matters most?

There is no single metric. Track the full journey from visibility to conversion to retention.

### How often should I review transactions?

Weekly for active profiles, and after major campaign or race periods.
