Looker Studio dashboard templates for tracking cross-channel paid ads

Because advertising platforms like Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and LinkedIn Ads store performance data on their own siloed UIs, Looker Studio is great for bringing all this data into a single view. And that’s why the first two templates are built for comparing cross-channel ad performance.

Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Bing Ads, and/or Twitter Ads comparison dashboard

The hard truth is that your boss or client might not be as interested in the nitty-gritty of paid advertising as you are. What they usually care about is how much you’re spending and what kind of results you’re getting in exchange. When that’s the case, this paid channel mix reporting template helps you create a visual executive summary (that you should definitely enrich with a few lines of written analysis).

HubSpot reporting templates

If you’re using all of HubSpot’s features (from sales to marketing and from marketing to customer service) the number of HubSpot-related reports you could technically create is unlimited. However, rather than mistaking every single one of your metrics to a KPI, you’re better off focusing on the basics. This first template is a great example of just that. It helps you narrow down your focus, and concentrate on what matters: your contact lifecycle funnel and how that has been trending over the past 12 months.
