How to Create a Pardot Dashboard to Measure Tourial's Impact

The guide explains how to create a Pardot dashboard to measure Tourial's impact by first setting up a dynamic list that segments contacts who engaged with Tourials using specific filters (e.g., last Tourial viewed, company exclusion, session date, lifecycle stage), and then building reports such as a bar chart showing Tourial views by lifecycle stage over time to analyze engagement across marketing and sales stages.

Note: Since every MAP/CRM setup is different, these instructions may not be 100% accurate based on the setup of your Pardot instance.


Step 1: Create a Pardot Dynamic List

Before diving into reports, the first step is to create a Dynamic List in Pardot to segment contacts who have interacted with your Tourials. This list will be used to filter and refine the data you’ll analyze in your reports.

  1. 1.Navigate to Pardot Lists
    In Pardot, go to the Prospects tab and select Segmentation Lists.
  2. 2.Create a New Dynamic List
    Click + Add List and choose Dynamic List.
  3. 3.Name Your List
    Name the list something relevant, like "Tourial Engagement by Contact."
  4. 4.Add Filters
    Add filters to segment contacts who have viewed or engaged with a Tourial:
    • Tourial: Last Tourial Viewed is known – Ensures only contacts who have interacted with a Tourial are included.
    • Company Name is not any of [YOUR COMPANY NAME] – Exclude internal employees or irrelevant data.
    • Tourial: Last Session Date is within [your chosen timeframe] – For example, within the last 365 days (or 180, 90, 60 days, depending on your needs).
    • Lifecycle Stage – Filter by lifecycle stage (e.g., Lead, MQL, SQL, Opportunity) if needed.

Step 2: Create Reports in Pardot

With your dynamic list in place, you can now create key reports to track Tourial's impact across various stages of your marketing and sales processes. Below are some essential reports to include in your Pardot dashboard.
