Looker Studio is a powerful free tool for creating dashboards and analyzing your data. However, it offers limited native connectors. If you’re reading this, chances are you want to connect your Facebook Ads data to Looker Studio. The good news? It’s absolutely possible! — and that's exactly what we'll walk through now.
There are two ways to connect your data: manually, by exporting a CSV file from Facebook Ads, or automatically, by using a connector developed by Catchr. We’ll focus on the second method in this guide.
Go to the Looker Studio homepage to begin, and then follow these steps.
Click on “Create” > “Data Source” in the top left corner of the page to start setting up a new data source. In the search bar, type “Facebook Ads” and select the Catchr connector.
Or simply follow this link to access the Facebook Ads connector directly.
Click on “Authorize”, then sign up (or log in) to Catchr using your Gmail account.
Click on “Authorize” to connect your Facebook Ads account.
💡 You can find and manage all your sources on your Catchr account.
You can connect one or multiple accounts to a single Looker Studio report. To do this, select the account(s) you need and click on “Connect” at the top right corner.
💡 You can configure the attribution windows and check the box to start with a template.
Once your data is connected, you’ll be taken to a page displaying all available metrics and dimensions. Here, you can manage fields, create calculated fields, and adjust formats to suit your needs. You can always return to this settings page later if needed.
We’ve already published a tutorial on how to create and configure a data source in Looker Studio. Feel free to check out our lesson for more details on the available settings.
Now that you’ve created your data source, your Facebook Ads account is connected to Looker Studio! All that’s left is to create your report and start using it.
Click on “Create Report”.
⭐️ Congrats! Your Facebook Ads data is now accessible on your Looker Studio report!
