Data Connectors – Google Data Studio – Transcript

Hi. I’m Daniel from OnlineMarketingTechs.com and today, I would like to show you some of the Google Data Studio Connectors. Data Studio. Now Google Data Studio is one of the best analytics reporting platforms that there is. It allows you to import different analytics or online marketing data sources into one place to where you can view real-time reports, update, and really parse out data that you’re not allowed to do on a lot of the individual analytics platforms.

Premium Connectors

Now, most of these connectors are paid connectors. You have to pay for them. But, they are worth it for some marketers. If you don’t need some of these extra features, then I recommend not getting them. But, if you do, I highly recommend these platforms or one of these connectors that would work best for you and use it for your business. I’m just going to go briefly through some of these connectors so you can see what they have to offer.

Here’s Supermetrics. You’re going to see them a lot. That may be one of the options that you will want to go with. With them, you can import all sorts of social media platforms and their analytics reporting. Bing, AdWords, it’s really fantastic. In fact, we’ll go ahead and look at their landing page real quick so you can see some of the cool stuff. So, you can get a free 14-day trial to see if it’s right for you, or you can buy it now. Here’s a template. That’s a template for Facebook or multiple campaigns. But they’re $19 a month.

You can unite the data for multiple marketing platforms into the data studio. From PPC, social, email, payment platforms, and all types of different really cool stuff. And if you can’t find out the right integration, they will build one. That’s how good these guys are. Cross-platform reporting. So, in the same charts, you can add multiple connections into the same charts like AdWords, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Bing and all that stuff. If you’ve been doing this before, you don’t have to report CSV files or connect your Google Datasheet (which can be daunting for a lot of advertisers).It gives you automatic reporting and real-time updating. Supermetrics has a lot of really cool things. In fact, a lot of the other connectors that we are going to be showing are from Supermetrics.

Ad Networks

AdForm

So, they also have Adform. Adform is a marketing platform and Supermetrics allows you to pull your data from that. If you are familiar with Adform, you will be able to pull this in. If you’re not familiar with Adform, this doesn’t matter to you.

Adobe Analytics

Adobe Analytics… there are a lot of advertisers using Adobe Analytics. It’s a phenomenal platform. Adobe doesn’t do anything that’s not excellent. so, that’s just a fact. So, if you’re using Adobe Analytics, you can import this into data studio and pull from multiple sources.

AdRoll

AdRoll… if you’re using AdRoll, you can import this information. This is from Power My Analytics. Power My Analytics is like Supermetrics. The work a lot, as you can see down here with Amazon and some of these other product selling platforms. If you’re using AdRoll, this may be the way to go for your business.

AdStage is also another automated enterprise platform that would be really excellent to bring into Data Studio, if that’s for you it’s another paid platform.

In fact, let me go back to Power My Analytics and look at their landing page. Let’s see what they have to say. This is the landing page specifically for the AdRoll connector when you activate the app. You can get a 14 day trial just like the others. It’s $9.95 a month. Easy one-time process. Updates you Google Analytics account… Data Studio… tracks ROI from AdRoll. If you’re not familiar with AdRoll, AdRoll they have over 250 advertising platforms that they publish advertising content to. So, it’s really Cool. If you’re using AdRoll, this might be the way to go for you. Let’s go back here.

AdWords by Supermetrics

Now you can automatically get AdWords accounts into Data Studio, but this connector allows you to apply multiple accounts to the same report or the same widget as well. It’s pretty cool, I think you’ll like it. If that’s something you’re interested in. Supermetrics might be the way to go for you.

All Advertising Data by Funnel. It connects 250+ advertising platforms int0 one source. There’s a free trial for them. You might want to check them out. I’m just going to breeze through the rest of these. Some of these might be right for you, but some of them might not.

Products…import the data from that. Same thing. Once you have Power My Analytics, you can add this connector as well.

Marketing Miner

Fetch project ranking data from Marketing Miner into Google Data Studio. So, if you use Marketing Miner, you might want to check out their connector.

This is a free connector that connects to the Facebook Marketing API from Mito. Google actually sent me an email that turned me on to this, and I was like “Yeah, way cool. I like it.” So, I definitely had to check it out. It’s from Mito. You might want to add that connector. At least check it out because Google Data Studio doesn’t automatically have support for Facebook. But if you use Google Sheets and you know how to integrate it with Data Studio, then you can pull the information from that, but it’s not for everybody for sure. So, I really like that they have this one.

Basically, you can find out how you’re performing on the search engines and across the web; and how your competitors are. SEMrush is really cool. If you have that, you can pull that information in by Supermetrics.
