Looker Studio vs. Google Sheets KPI Dashboards: Track Weekly Cash Flow & Leads on One Screen
Logging into 6 different apps to check leads, ad spend, and revenue takes hours. Compare Google Sheets and Looker Studio executive dashboards.
To see how your business performed last week, you probably have to log into Google Analytics for website traffic, Google Ads for ad spend, your CRM for new leads, and QuickBooks or Stripe for collected revenue. Because checking six tabs takes an hour, most owners only look at their numbers when their accountant finishes taxes.
Why business owners fly blind when numbers live in six tabs
To see how your business performed last week, you probably have to log into Google Analytics for website traffic, Google Ads for ad spend, your CRM for new leads, and QuickBooks or Stripe for collected revenue. Because checking six tabs takes an hour, most owners only look at their numbers when their accountant finishes taxes.
An executive KPI dashboard pulls your 5 to 8 most important numbers onto a single screen that updates automatically.
Choosing between a Google Sheets Dashboard and Looker Studio
We build both types of dashboards ($149 to $499 flat). Here is how to choose which one fits your style:
Google Sheets / Excel KPI Dashboard
Best when you want to see both the visual trend charts and the underlying rows of leads, invoices, and expenses in one familiar workbook where you can type notes or run 'what-if' profit math
Google Looker Studio Dashboard
Best when you want a clean, read-only visual scoreboard pulling live charts from Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Google Ads, and Google Sheets that you can bookmark on your phone
