Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands both Semrush campaign structures and Xero's accounting taxonomy, so you can connect marketing performance to financial truth without custom code.

AI that speaks marketing metrics and accounting language

Redbird maps Semrush campaign hierarchies, keyword projects, and ad spend categories to Xero's chart of accounts, tracking categories, and project codes. The AI recognizes expense types across both platforms—from PPC spend and tool subscriptions to billable client costs and budget allocations. When Semrush campaign structures change or Xero adds new tracking categories, Redbird adapts automatically without breaking your workflows.
