Google Data Studio

Google Data Studio Run Through Sample

Reporting can make all difference. This article is about how we use Google data studio with search console and analytics. Google data studio is an amazing new tool Google provides its users for free.  We utilize it to help our clients understand what is happening on and around their website.  If you have goals and you need to know if they are working you can set up google data studio goals on your reporting? What are your marketing goals?

In the Data Studio Reports, we create measurement goals and you get reporting month over month.  You can look at your data week over week or day over a day depending on how often you want to log in to the interactive report. We can even include your social information (Yes, you can create a social data studio report, but that is a story for a different day).
Basically we make a plan and that plan includes a data studio report with search console stats. It also includes macro goals and micro goals. But before we figure out these essential things we have to setup up the tracking.  Do you get monthly reports to track what is going on on your website? It can really help with the decision process.  Let’s take a look at some of the things on a data studio report when we combine Google search analytics and Google Search Console inside a google data studio report.

How will this data actually impact my business?
