How to Use Date Range Filters Effectively

Use date range filters on the Local Business Pro dashboard to analyze performance over specific time periods.

Quick Answer: Use the date range selector in the top right of the dashboard. Choose Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Last 90 days to filter all metrics and charts to that period.

Available Date Ranges

  • Last 7 days - Recent activity, good for daily monitoring
  • Last 30 days - Monthly view, most common for trend analysis
  • Last 90 days - Quarterly view, good for strategic planning

When to Use Each Range

  1. Last 7 days - Daily check-ins, monitoring recent changes, troubleshooting
  2. Last 30 days - Monthly business reviews, trend identification, reporting
  3. Last 90 days - Quarterly planning, seasonal analysis, identifying long-term patterns

Understanding Period Comparisons

Percentage changes on metric cards compare your selected period to the previous equivalent period. For example, Last 30 days compares to the 30 days before that.
