Analytics for ManagementInsights for Effective Content and Faster Workflows
The Newbie’s Guide to Acrolinx Analytics Acrolinx Analytics is a suite of 15 dashboards that helps you assess performance, pinpoint problems, and optimize your content operation. You can measure content optimization performance against your goals and objectives such as improving content consistency, velocity, and cost savings.
The dashboards are broken into 4 categories, namely Impact, Analysis, Guidance, and Health. Each dashboard offers several charts and tables to equip you with a powerful analysis tool.
Impact is where you’ll see the impact your content has on your business. You can get a quick overview of the overall quality of your content and see where you’ve already made improvements and savings.
Analysis offers deeper insights into the specific areas into your content, which is useful feedback for teams creating content. See how your content is scoring across different channels and departments and monitor improvement over time.
Guidance is all about terms and keywords. This is where you’ll tweak your guidance profiles for different audiences or channels. Findability helps you target the keywords that make your online content discoverable. Term Discovery helps you find new terms in your content that are not yet in your official terminology.
Health is a bit of a ‘housekeeping dashboard.’ It’s where you’ll check how often Acrolinx is in action or if your integration is due for an update.

into Some of the
Dashboards
Different parts of an organization have different goals they want to achieve with their content. Depending on the kind of content you produce and what matters to you, you’ll use different dashboards to measure different standards of effectiveness and alignment with your enterprise goals and guidelines.
For example, you can watch how your baseline content scores improve in the Content Quality dashboard. Here, you can analyze the Content Groups in relation to the baseline and target score, and see which types of content across departments need closer alignment to your expectations.
In Trends you’ll see the average scores of content by category over time, such as type (blog post, UI string, emails), department, or writer.
The Guidance overview section is where you’ll see the top grammar and style issues, so that you can guide writers improve content in the areas it needs it the most. It’s also the dashboard that will show you if it’s necessary to refine your guidance to suit changing content goals or new content types.

Combining Analytics and Automation
There are several options to use the Automated Check in your processes.Examples of automated integrations include:
• Checking several documents at once with a single click
• Scheduled batch checking of entire content inventories
• Automated checking of individual content pieces as they’re created
• In a Content Management System (CMS) before you publish or translate
• Automated checks at every step (save, import, publish)
• Automated website checking at regular intervals
Automated Check acts as a quality gate, checking that content meets your objectives at every stage of the process. You can then see how well your content scores in the Scorecard or explore your content’s strengths and weaknesses with the Acrolinx Analytics dashboard.
Automation gives you better Analytics because it automatically checks 100% of your content before publication. By removing the reliance on individual writers to use the Sidebar while they write, Acrolinx becomes the gatekeeper between every piece of content and your target audience.
