How it works

From raw export to ranked action plan

Three steps, and the same canonical schema whether you upload files or connect an API — so a sync and an upload analyze identically.

1

Connect or upload

Upload the CSV/XLSX exports you already pull, or connect any of the six platforms' official APIs and one-click sync the last 90 days. A generic mapper ingests anything else. Every coercion is recorded in a per-upload issue ledger.

The deterministic engine computes

A rules-based engine normalizes every source and computes the full battery of diagnostics — impression-share loss, search-term waste, creative fatigue, cross-channel reallocation — and fidelity-checks each number before anything else sees it.

The analyst narrative prioritizes

A purpose-built paid-media analyst AI ranks the findings for your business, explains the mechanism behind each like a senior analyst, and writes concrete next actions with effort and impact ratings. It is handed numbers — it never derives them.

What makes it different

Not a prettier chart — the thinking on top of it

Deterministic math — the AI never invents a number

A rules-based engine computes every metric and fidelity-checks it before the model sees it. The LLM writes judgment and priorities, never arithmetic. If a figure is in the report, a machine calculated and verified it.

Measures ChatGPT ads — a channel most tools can't see yet

TrailMap treats OpenAI Ads as a distinct third channel — its own dashboard tab, alongside search and social — and is among the first analytics products to support it, in the same report as Google and Meta.

White-label, single-file client reports

Every run produces a downloadable HTML report that opens anywhere with no login — agencies email it straight to clients under their own brand. Plus a live interactive dashboard.

Profile-aware analysis

Onboarding tailors the analysis to your business model: lead-gen accounts are judged on CPL and lead volume; ecommerce on ROAS and revenue. The recommendations speak your KPIs, not generic PPC boilerplate.

Six platforms

Upload or connect — every platform, every tier

Upload the exports you already pull, or connect the platform's API (OAuth or token, encrypted at rest) and one-click sync the last 90 days. Both land in the same schema and analyze identically.

Early to the channel most tools can't see

You can't be early to a channel you can't measure. TrailMap is among the first analytics products to support ads inside ChatGPT — daily spend, impressions, clicks, and CPM/CPC/CTR trends on a dedicated Chat tab, feeding the same cross-channel reallocation view as Google and Meta. Chat findings today cover spend and traffic (the platform exposes no conversion metrics yet).

The analysis engine

12+ finding families, computed on every run

The deterministic engine runs across all six platforms and three channels — search, social, and chat — surfacing not just what happened, but which findings matter and what they're worth.

Impression-share loss
Budget vs. rank decomposition — opposite prescriptions, separated.
Search-term waste
Spend on irrelevant queries, isolated by conversion.
Negative-keyword themes
Wasteful terms mined into ready-to-apply clusters.
Creative fatigue
Rising frequency alongside falling CTR, flagged early.
Creative concentration
Over-reliance on one asset — a fragility risk.
Budget fragmentation
Ad sets spread too thin to clear the learning threshold.
Budget-limited winners
Capped high performers leaving conversions unclaimed.
Anomaly detection
Robust median/MAD z-scores — no single freak day poisons it.
Period-over-period trends
What's moving, and whether cost or conversion drove it.
Cross-channel reallocation
Shift budget toward the channel with better marginal ROI.
Wasted-spend totals
Dollars recoverable now, quantified.
Rank / quality signals
Where position — not budget — is the bottleneck.

Findings interlock: broad-match concentration explains the search-term waste; a fatiguing hero creative explains why one asset sank an ad set; a capped search campaign and a failing social ad set together make the reallocation obvious. Assembling that connective narrative is the judgment task the analyst layer is for.

Analysis you can audit

The AI never invents a number.

Every figure — impression-share loss, wasted spend, ROAS deltas, reallocation amounts — is computed by a deterministic engine and fidelity-checked before the narrative is generated. The model only writes explanation and prioritization around numbers it's handed. Any number in a TrailMap report traces back through the payload to a computation to a cell in your export. If a stakeholder challenges a figure, you can show your work — because there is work to show.

Pre-computed only

The model sees a findings payload of answers, not your raw export. There is nothing for it to add up.

Schema-validated

Output must return ranked findings, explanations, and actions in named fields. Free-form responses are rejected.

Numeric-fidelity check

Every figure in the prose is verified against the payload. A number the engine didn't compute gets the response rejected.

Because the dashboard renders directly from the deterministic findings, the analysis doesn't depend on the model being available — if the LLM is down or disabled, you still get every metric, every finding, every chart. Read the whitepaper →

For agencies & fractional CMOs

Email your client a report that opens anywhere.

Every analysis renders as an interactive dashboard and downloads as a single, self-contained HTML file — no server, no login. It opens in any modern browser, fully offline, with no network fetches. White-labeling flows into both surfaces, so your brand is in front of the client, never ours.

  • One file, offline. The report payload is embedded — email it and it just works, on any machine.
  • Full white-label on Growth and Agency: your logo, your accent color, on the dashboard and the export.
  • One renderer, two surfaces. The in-app view and the standalone export are produced by the same code, so they can never drift.
What it finds

Two illustrative examples

The vignettes below are illustrative, not results from a specific customer.

Plumbing company — lead-gen

TrailMap flags $1.9k/quarter in search-term waste — spend on "plumbing salary," "plumbing school," and DIY queries — and bundles them into three ready-to-apply negative-keyword themes. It also surfaces a budget-limited winner: the emergency-repair campaign is capped at 68% impression share on budget, not rank, so every extra dollar there converts. Action plan: add the negatives, shift the recovered spend into the capped winner. CPL framing throughout.

DTC apparel brand — ecommerce

TrailMap detects a fatigued hero creative — the top video's ROAS has slid 34% over six weeks while still absorbing 41% of spend — and identifies a reallocation opportunity: Meta prospecting is over-funded relative to a Google Shopping segment running at 2.3× the ROAS. Action plan: refresh the hero creative, trim its budget share, move spend to the higher-ROAS Shopping segment. ROAS and revenue framing throughout.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight

How do I know the AI isn't making up numbers?

By design, the model never does arithmetic. Every figure — impression-share loss, wasted spend, ROAS deltas, reallocation amounts — is computed by the deterministic engine and fidelity-checked before the narrative is generated. The LLM only writes the explanation and prioritization around numbers it's handed. If a number is in the report, a machine calculated and verified it.

Do I have to connect my ad accounts, or share credentials?

No. You can simply upload the report files you already pull — no account connection required. If you'd rather skip the export step, connecting a platform's official API is optional; those credentials are read-only reporting access, encrypted at rest, and never displayed back or echoed in errors. TrailMap makes no changes to your ad accounts.

Why pay for this when Google already gives me free recommendations?

Google's recommendations optimize for Google's objective and score you on adopting them. TrailMap is independent and cross-channel — it decomposes impression-share loss, mines search-term waste into negative-keyword themes, flags creative fatigue, and finds reallocation across all six platforms in one report — and hands you a prioritized action plan with effort/impact ratings, not a scored to-do list that nudges your budget up.

Isn't per-run pricing just a meter running?

It isn't usage-billing; it's a flat monthly subscription with a generous run allowance (10 / 40 / 150). Runs don't cost you per click or per dollar of spend, and you always know your bill in advance. Most Starter users run well under 10 a month; if you consistently need more, that's a signal to move up a tier.

What about data handling and where my data lives?

TrailMap is multi-tenant with per-tenant data isolation — your analysis runs against your data alone, never pooled. Money is stored as integer micros, "not reported" is kept distinct from zero, and bounded values stay bounded, all recorded in a per-upload issue ledger. LLM keys are server-side only, and Agency plans can point TrailMap at a self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible endpoint so prompt content never leaves your infrastructure.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Start with a 14-day trial — 3 runs, no credit card. Subscriptions are managed through Stripe's customer portal: upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like. Upgrades apply instantly; downgrades take effect at the end of the billing period.
