Data Studio templates: A powerful tool for data connectors
A powerful alternative to premium dashboard options like Tableau is Google Data Studio. Data Studio offers all the tools you need to create marketing dashboards: easy-to-use interface, solid design options, and a wealth of Google ecosystem data connectors (Google Analytics, Adwords, Sheets, Big Query). And, you can connect to must-have data sources like Facebook Ads with the help of third parties such as Super Metrics.
As great as Data Studio is, the mobile-friendly design fails in one key respect: Visualizations you create will not scale down to mobile screens for desktop viewing.
But there is a workaround to the mobile limitations of Data Studio, provided you’re willing to do some work.
