How do you share and collaborate on Looker Studio reports?
Sharing works like a Google Doc. You give people viewer or editor access, or send a link, and they open the shared report. Looker Studio can also email a report on a schedule and download it as a PDF.
How sharing works
- Viewer or editor access, for named people or anyone with the link. Viewers need a Google account.
- Scheduled email delivery, if someone would rather get the report in their inbox.
- PDF download, for meetings and anything offline.
- Embedding, to put a report inside another page or tool.
Who can see what
Access to the report and access to its data are separate. A viewer sees whatever the report's data sources let them see, so check each source's credentials setting before a report goes to a client.
Google also sells a Pro tier with extra collaboration and admin features for larger teams. Our ongoing reporting service builds the reports, and we share them as a link.
Also worth asking
Other answers about the same tools.
What is ongoing management, support, and reporting?
It means we don't launch your marketing and leave. We keep running and improving your ads, website and tracking on a retainer, and send reports that show what's working and what we'd change.
What’s included in your performance reporting?
Spend, leads or sales, and cost per result by channel, using data we've checked first. Reports sit in a Looker Studio dashboard you can open any time, and each one ends with what we'd push, fix or stop.
How do you ensure continuous optimisation of my marketing?
We look at your ads, website and CRM together, then make the biggest fix first. That might be a test, a creative refresh, a landing page change or a tracking repair.
How do you communicate updates and results to clients?
Through reports you can open yourself, calls where we walk through them, and a chat channel for anything urgent. How often depends on the work we've agreed, and we keep updates short so they don't eat into your day.
What happens during onboarding for ongoing support?
Onboarding has three steps: you fill in a questionnaire about your business, we review your current marketing, site and analytics, and we agree what to fix first. Then the regular reports, calls and improvements begin.
