Data Studio reports (formerly Looker Studio)
Build Google Ads reports in Data Studio that don't break at 9am on Monday
Community connectors hit rate limits, sample your data, and lose their auth token overnight. Datanable stores Google Ads data in BigQuery first, so your report reads from a table instead of hammering the Google Ads API on every view.

Connect Data Studio to the BigQuery table Templates
Start from a template, or from scratch
For our most-used connectors we maintain a ready-made Data Studio template, already wired to your BigQuery tables. Or start from a blank report: every table is a standard BigQuery data source, so your first chart is only minutes away.

Google Ads to Data Studio: FAQ
Why not use a community connector for Google Ads in Data Studio?
Community connectors query the Google Ads API live on every report load. On large accounts that means throttling, sampling, and slow charts. Datanable syncs the data into BigQuery on a schedule instead.
Can I blend this with other data sources?
Yes. Because everything lands in BigQuery, you can blend Google Ads tables with any other connector Datanable manages, in the same report.
What happens if I add a second Google Ads account later?
Add the account in Datanable and it appears as new rows in the same table, no changes needed in the report.
Do I need a Data Studio Pro plan?
No. Datanable works with the free version of Data Studio since it connects like a native BigQuery data source.
What is Google Ads?
Google Ads is an online advertising platform developed by Google that allows businesses to create and display ads across Google's search engine and its advertising network. It helps advertisers reach potential customers through paid search results, display ads, video ads, and more, based on keywords, demographics, and other targeting criteria.
