The Marketer's Launchpad: Zero to Answers in 10 Minutes
Your funnel is leaking money. Let's find out where.
We watched marketers drown in dashboards. Page views up. Revenue down. No idea why.
Traditional analytics tells you what happened. Grain tells you why—and what to do about it.
10 minutes from now, you'll have an AI analyst installed on your site, answering questions like "Why did sales drop last Tuesday?" Let's make that happen.
The Problem: Analytics That Create More Questions
You know the feeling. You open Google Analytics. You see a spike. Or a dip. You click around for 20 minutes. You close the tab more confused than when you started.
That's not analysis. That's archaeology.
What you actually need:
- "Why did checkouts drop 30% last week?"
- "Which ad campaign is actually driving revenue?"
- "Where exactly are people abandoning my funnel?"
Grain answers these directly. No chart interpretation required.
The Solution: Grain + Kai in 10 Minutes
Minute 0-2: Create Your Workspace
Go to grainql.com/dashboard. Sign in. Enter your website URL.
Grain analyzes your site structure automatically. You land in Mission Control: a dark, focused dashboard that surfaces your goals, conversions, and drop-offs. Nothing extra.
Minute 2-5: Install the Tracking Script
You'll get a single code snippet. Copy and paste it in your site's header.
Quick reference:
- WordPress: Use "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin
- Webflow: Project Settings → Custom Code → Head Code
- Shopify: Themes → Edit Code → theme.liquid
- Squarespace: Settings → Code Injection → Header
Why this is different from other tracking scripts:
- No cookies. None. Grain uses privacy-first tracking. No consent popups needed.
- GDPR compliant. EU-hosted. IPs anonymized. No cross-site tracking.
- Tiny footprint. 6KB. Your Core Web Vitals won't suffer.
Data starts flowing the second you install.
Minute 5-7: Set Up Your Money Events
Grain auto-detects page views, clicks, and key events. But you might want to track other things that pay the bills.
Use the Visual Picker (no code):
- Open Visual Picker from your dashboard
- Navigate to your live site
- Click the "Buy Now" button (or whatever matters)
- Name it: "Purchase"
- Save
That's a Conversion Trackers. It follows the user journey to that event, showing you every path people take—and where they bail in the Tracks and Mission Control.
Minute 7-10: Ask Kai Your Burning Question
Here's the payoff. Open Kai and type what's keeping you up at night:
- "Why did conversions drop last week?"
- "What's my best traffic source for paid customers?"
- "Where is my checkout funnel leaking?"
As you collect more data, Kai will be able to answer more complicated questions. From "where does my customers come from" to "why is this page not converting".
Kai doesn't just show you a graph. Kai tells you:
"Conversions dropped 18% last week. 73% of the decline came from mobile users on your /pricing page—average time on page fell to 4 seconds."
That's not a metric. That's a marching order.
What You Just Escaped
❌ Cookie consent popups and GDPR anxiety
❌ Dashboards that require a statistics degree
❌ "Data-driven decisions" that are actually guesswork
❌ Paying developers to set up event tracking
What You Have Now
✓ Privacy-first tracking that won't get you fined or slow your site
✓ An AI analyst that answers business questions in plain English
✓ Visual event tracking that works without touching code
✓ A clean Mission Control dashboard—no clutter, no confusion
One More Thing: Bring Your Team
Go to Workspace Settings → Team → Invite.
Everyone gets access to Kai. Your VA can ask
"What content drove the most sign-ups this month?"
without waiting for you to pull a report.
The Bottom Line
You bought Grain to stop guessing and start knowing. In 10 minutes, you've done exactly that.
Your funnel is leaking somewhere. Now you can ask Kai where—and actually get an answer.
Welcome to Mission Control.
