Status Column: Color-coded as described above.

Campaign Calendar: Highlighted weekends and holidays in gray to remind users of reduced ad effectiveness on non-working days.

Select your primary channels and adjust their weekly multipliers based on past campaign performance (e.g., email might have a 1.2x multiplier during holiday weeks).

Each Monday, update the Actual Spend column with figures pulled from Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, etc.

Every Friday, fill in Performance Metrics with conversion data to auto-update ROI Calculator.

Review the Dashboard Summary sheet for visual insights and adjust next week’s allocations accordingly.
