Google Analytics has such an incredible amount of metrics and dimensions that sometimes it can be hard for you to visualize to stakeholders what's actually happening on your website. This is where Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio or 'GDS') comes in: it allows you to create interactive versatile dashboards that can easily be interpreted and shared.
With the addition of company level data to your Google Analytics account through our Google Analytics Connector, you can now create B2B versions of your Looker Studio reports.
With Looker Studio, you can create combined reports of Leadfeeder and Google Analytics data. You can tie Leadfeeder metrics and dimensions to 100s of other metrics and dimensions that Google Analytics and Google Ads record to create much more powerful reports and get more granular insights on what is driving ideal customers to your website.
The reports are easy to customize so they match your own brand and they are easy to share with key stakeholders.
The article walks you through how to set up a Looker Studio dashboard using Google Analytics Connector data. It also includes a template dashboard for you to import. Before creating the dashboard, you need to first set up for Google Analytics Connectors like explained in this article.
Please note: To be able to connect and see Google Analytics data in Looker Studio, you need to have at least Viewer access rights to your company’s Google Analytics.
