GA4 Custom Reports and LookerStudio Dashboards
Developing GA4 Reports and LookerStudio Dashboards for AIR Communities
At AIR Communities, I created custom GA4 reports and LookerStudio dashboards for a "focus property" to track user engagement and optimize marketing efforts. These reports provided insights into how users interacted with the website after clicking on an ad, enabling targeted adjustments to over 5 Google Ad campaigns. LookerStudio dashboards were designed to present these insights in a visually appealing and accessible format, allowing upper leadership to easily communicate marketing performance and collaborate across departments.
I led the creation of custom reports in GA4 to track post-click user behavior and engagement on the website. Additionally, I designed and built LookerStudio dashboards that visually summarized key metrics, enabling leadership teams to quickly assess campaign performance and share insights with various departments to a campaign specific level.
