Business performance dashboard

Looker Studio

Looker Studio / Data Studio Agency

Dashboards built in Looker Studio, formerly Google Data Studio, for teams that want everyone to see the numbers.

01

Looker Studio, still searched for as Google Data Studio

Google renamed Data Studio to Looker Studio in October 2022. Same product, same free tier, same reports; a different name above the door. If you are looking for a Data Studio agency, you are in the right place.

We build Looker Studio dashboards for teams who have outgrown a spreadsheet but do not want a licence bill for every viewer. The numbers usually exist already; they live in five places, and nobody trusts the version in the deck. We work remotely with clients in India, the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, and every build runs against your data, not a demo set.

What we build in Looker Studio

  • Marketing performance reporting

    Spend, pipeline and return in one view across Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and organic. Channel comparison that survives a budget conversation.

    • Cost per acquisition by channel and campaign
    • Attribution windows you can change without a rebuild
    • Month-on-month and year-on-year in the same chart
  • Executive and KPI dashboards

    The eight to twelve numbers leadership actually asks about, on one page, refreshed without anyone exporting anything.

    • A single page a board can read in two minutes
    • Drill-through to the detail behind each number
    • Targets and variance, not just actuals
  • Ecommerce and revenue reporting

    Orders, margin, returns and customer cohorts joined to the ad spend that produced them, so profitability is visible per product and per channel.

    • Shopify, WooCommerce and Amazon Seller data
    • Contribution margin after fees and shipping
    • Repeat rate and cohort retention
  • White-label reporting for agencies

    One template, many clients, your branding. Built so adding the next client is a data source change rather than a new build.

    • Parameterised templates across a client roster
    • Client-safe sharing with no Google account required
    • Scheduled PDF delivery on your cadence
  • BigQuery-backed dashboards

    When the data outgrows connectors and extracts, we model it in BigQuery first so the dashboard stays fast and the numbers stay reconcilable.

    • Scheduled queries and materialised tables
    • Row-level access by client, region or team
    • Costs kept predictable with partitioning
  • Rescuing inherited reports

    Someone built it, they left, and now it breaks quietly. We take over legacy Data Studio reports, find what is wrong and make them maintainable.

    • Broken blends and silently failing connectors
    • Duplicated metrics that disagree with each other
    • Documentation, so the next person is not stuck

Looker Studio dashboards we have built

Retail and ecommerce performance

Online and in-store sales on one page, with the conversion and sell-through numbers a trading meeting actually argues about. Ad platforms report the revenue they think they caused; this report reconciles it to orders.

  • Online against brick-and-mortar revenue, store by store
  • Cart abandonment tracked against forecast
  • Foot traffic and inventory shrinkage beside sales

Where your data already lives

GA4, Google Ads, Search Console, Sheets and BigQuery connect natively
Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft and Amazon Ads through partner connectors
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake and Redshift over a direct connection
Shopify, HubSpot and Salesforce, or anything with an API, via a scheduled pipeline
And the one spreadsheet nobody is willing to give up

Why teams choose Looker Studio over a licensed BI tool

  • No licence per viewer

    Looker Studio itself is free. The whole company can read a report without a procurement conversation, which is usually what decides it.

  • Sharing that works like a document

    Send a link, including to people outside your organisation who do not have a Google account. No seat to buy, no account to create.

  • Native to where the data already is

    GA4, Google Ads, Search Console, Sheets and BigQuery connect directly, with no middleware in between to pay for or maintain.

  • Fast enough to keep up

    A new view is an afternoon rather than a sprint, so the report changes when the business does instead of ossifying.

  • Where it stops, honestly

    At large volumes it needs BigQuery underneath, and it is not the tool for heavy statistical modelling or complex row-level security. We will tell you when that line is close rather than after the invoice.

How a build runs

Decide what the dashboard is for

One call. Which decisions this has to support, who reads it, and how often. A dashboard that serves everyone serves nobody, so we agree the scope before touching data.

Model the data

Sources connected, fields mapped, definitions agreed in writing. This is where most dashboard projects quietly fail: two teams meaning different things by revenue.

Build and review

A working draft against your real data, early, so you are reacting to something concrete rather than a wireframe. Two rounds of changes are normal.

Reconcile the numbers

Every headline figure checked against the source system it came from. If the dashboard and the finance export disagree, the dashboard does not ship.

Hand it over

You own the report, the data sources and the documentation. A recorded walkthrough for the team, and the option of a support retainer if you would rather we kept it running.

Questions we are asked before starting

Is Looker Studio the same as Google Data Studio?
Yes. Google renamed Data Studio to Looker Studio in October 2022. Existing reports carried over untouched and the free tier did not change. Looker Studio is not the same product as Looker, which is Google Cloud's licensed enterprise BI platform.
Is Looker Studio free?
Looker Studio is free, with no per-user or per-viewer cost. You may pay for things around it: partner connectors for non-Google data sources are usually a small monthly fee, and BigQuery is billed on storage and query volume if your data needs it. We will tell you which of those you actually need before you commit to anything.
What can Looker Studio connect to?
Google sources connect natively: GA4, Google Ads, Search Console, Sheets, BigQuery, YouTube and Campaign Manager. Databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake and Redshift connect directly. Most other platforms, including Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Shopify, HubSpot and Salesforce, connect through partner connectors or a pipeline into BigQuery.
How does Looker Studio compare with Power BI or Tableau?
Looker Studio wins on cost and on how easily a report reaches people, because there is no viewer licence and sharing works like a Google Doc. Power BI and Tableau are stronger for heavy modelling, very large in-memory datasets and complex row-level security. If your reporting is largely marketing, web and operational data and you want everyone to see it, Looker Studio is usually the better economics.
How long does a dashboard take to build?
A focused dashboard on clean, connected sources is typically one to two weeks including a review round. Where the data needs modelling first, or several systems have to be reconciled, the modelling is the long pole rather than the dashboard. We scope this before quoting, and the number we give you is the number.
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes. We work remotely with clients in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, with overlap hours arranged at the start of the engagement. Everything we deliver is handed over in your own Google account, so there is no dependency on where we sit.
Who owns the dashboard once it is built?
You do. The report, the data sources and the documentation live in your Google account, and we work inside it rather than handing over a copy at the end. If we stop working together tomorrow, nothing stops running and nothing needs migrating.
Can you fix a Looker Studio report somebody else built?
Often, yes, and it is a common request. We audit what is there, find the broken blends, the connectors that fail silently and the metrics that disagree with each other, and tell you honestly whether repairing it or rebuilding it is the better use of your money.
