Looker Studio

Stop digging through five platforms to understand your marketing performance. Looker Studio brings everything together in one automated, shareable dashboard.

What It Does

Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio) is a free data visualisation tool that connects directly to GA4, Google Ads, Search Console, BigQuery, and hundreds of other sources through native and third party connectors. I design dashboards that answer specific business questions, not generic templates, but custom views built around your KPIs, your channels, and your team's decision making process.

Why I Use It

It's free, powerful, and integrates natively with the Google ecosystem. Combined with third party connectors like Supermetrics, it can pull data from virtually any marketing platform. The result is a single source of truth that updates automatically, no manual exports, no spreadsheet wrangling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Looker Studio implementation.

Is Looker Studio really free?
Yes. The core platform is completely free. The only costs are third party connectors if you need data from non Google sources (like Meta Ads or TikTok). I'll advise on the most cost effective connector setup.
Can it pull data from Meta Ads and TikTok?
Not natively, but through connectors like Supermetrics or Funnel.io it can pull from virtually any ad platform. I set up the connections and handle any data transformation needed.
How often do dashboards refresh?
Dashboards pull fresh data every time they're opened, with Google data sources refreshing every 15 minutes to 12 hours depending on the connector. I also set up scheduled email delivery on your preferred cadence.
Can different people see different dashboards?
Yes. I create role based views, executive summaries for leadership, channel specific dashboards for managers, and detailed views for analysts. Access is controlled through Google account sharing.
