Which decisions does each platform inform?

Rockerbox informs where budget goes across channels — its measurement spans paid, organic and offline. The Ad Spend informs what happens inside the accounts that budget lands in: what changed, who changed it, why the metric moved, and which fix to approve. Allocation above, operations below.

Can I use Rockerbox and The Ad Spend together?

Yes — they're complementary layers. Rockerbox measures outcomes across your whole marketing footprint; The Ad Spend keeps the operational record inside the ad platforms, catches problems between check-ins, and turns recommendations into approved, logged actions.

Does The Ad Spend measure offline or organic channels?

No — that's Rockerbox territory. The Ad Spend is scoped to the ad accounts themselves: Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and Reddit, with every settings change captured permanently and every detection tied to its cause.
