What should a Looker Studio report have?

Take a sneak peek into our approach to creating Google Ads Ecommerce reports and the key metrics we analyze.

Based on our expertise, a comprehensive Looker Studio report should include market analysis, ad performance, user behavior, and sales data.

Market: In the presented scenario, we analyze the volume of searches conducted during the specified time frame and quantify the lost opportunities resulting from budget limitations.

There is no reason to impose restrictions if the marketing strategy is profitable. Instead, we encourage customers to increase their budget to capitalize on the success further by bringing more sales while maintaining the same return on ad spent.

Ad Performance: When it comes to it, our primary focus is on two key factors: our search rankings and the number of clicks we receive. This information provides valuable insights into how we stack up against our competitors and whether our messaging in search queries resonates with users.

User Behavior: When analyzing user behavior, we focus on two key factors - the average cost per click (CPC) and the interactions with our ad. This valuable information allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our strategy and determine its profitability.

For ecommerce campaigns, we estimate that it takes approximately 40 clicks to make a sale, which means a conversion rate of 2.5%. By multiplying the number of clicks by the average CPC, we can evaluate the conversion cost of the campaign for our customers and thus know the price per sale early in the campaign.

Sales: When it comes to ecommerce, analyzing sales is straightforward. We examine the total number of sales, return on ad spend, and sales value. This allows us to compare sales figures with previous periods, assess campaign profitability, and determine the revenue generated. Regularly monitoring these metrics will enable us to track growth and make data-driven decisions to optimize our marketing strategies.

Include a comprehensive analysis of all channels and associated costs in the reports!

In addition to creating individual reports for each channel, whether organic or paid advertising, it is highly recommended to have a comprehensive report that combines all the data.

Running a business involves numerous hidden costs, such as agency fees, community managers, and budgets, which should all be considered when calculating returns. By including these factors in the reports, you can make more informed decisions for your marketing campaigns and maximize your results.
