Agency reporting checklist for Operations Managers

This is the agency reporting checklist adapted for operations managers. It exists because spending too much time on admin, and the checklist below is the shape that actually survives contact with how operations managers work day to day.

What this checklist is for

Purpose: ship a client report that explains the result, not just dumps the metrics. For operations managers specifically, the value is that it turns a recurring admin task into a 5-minute repeatable artifact. This isn't a generic template - the items below are tuned for operations managers and the tools they actually live in.

The agency reporting checklist (checklist)

• The headline number with cohort context (last week, last month, last year)
• The top three drivers behind the number
• The surprises and the explanation for each
• The next two weeks of planned work
• The asks (budget, scope, decisions)

Adjustments for operations managers

operations managers typically live in . That changes how this checklist runs:

• Pull the inputs from the apps operations managers actually use, not generic SaaS exports.
• Anchor on recent activity in the prospect or company - it's the highest-signal field for this role.
• Skip items that don't apply to your weekly cadence; this is a starting shape, not a contract.

The most common way to mess this up

Dumping screenshots without interpretation - clients don't pay for raw dashboards. For operations managers, this shows up as spending the saved time on more admin instead of higher-leverage work. Build the checklist into your week, not as a one-off.

How Strawberry runs this checklist

Strawberry pulls metrics from GA4, Meta Ads, GSC, HubSpot in parallel and drafts the explanation - your account manager edits, doesn't author. For operations managers, Strawberry uses your live tabs and connected apps - so the checklist is filled with your real context, not a placeholder.

When to use this, when to skip

Use this checklist when the work recurs (weekly, per-prospect, per-meeting). Skip it when the situation is novel and judgment-heavy - the checklist is a baseline, not a substitute for thinking.

Caveats

Strawberry holds back on sending email, updating CRM records, or changing shared systems until a human approves the action. Treat the agent as a fast first-draft author, not an autopilot.
