Reporting setup

Set up your reporting environment in Looker Studio

To start using the Adalysis report templates, you'll first need a free Looker Studio account. Looker Studio is a powerful and flexible reporting tool that makes it easy to visualize your PPC data.

Follow these three steps to get started — your reports can be ready in just 15-20 mins.

Step 1: Looker Studio sign up (1 min)

Create your free Looker Studio account, if you haven't already got one.

Step 2: Create your data sources (5-10 mins)

Looker Studio retrieves your data directly from Google Ads (not Adalysis). It uses a data source to connect to your Google Ads account or MCC.

To use the Adalysis templates, you'll need to first create your data sources (one for each Google Ads account or MCC). This is a one-off step, and you can then use the same data source in every Looker Studio report for that specific Google Ads account.

Each data source connects to one Google Ads account. If your agency manages ten Google Ads accounts, you'll need to create ten data sources. This is a quick, one-off process.

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to create your data sources:

• Google Ads

• Google Analytics

• Microsoft Ads

• Facebook

Step 3: Copy the Adalysis templates and link them to your data sources (1 min)

To link the Adalysis templates to your own Google Ads data, you'll first need to create a copy of the report. First, choose the template you want from the Reporting menu in Adalysis. Then, switch to Looker Studio and make a copy of it.

Change the data source of your new report to the one you created in step 2.

The new report will open in the Edit mode with the default name Copy of .... We'd suggest a simple naming convention to make your reports easier to track.
