Siteimprove Google Looker Studio connector and reports

Note: You need to have an Administrator or Account owner role to configure a connection to Google Looker Studio, formerly Google Looker Studio.
Siteimprove is happy to help with questions regarding configuring the integration. Siteimprove does not provide support or product help for the third-party software with which you are connecting. Siteimprove Analytics data is not available in the GDS integration at this time. 

The Siteimprove Google Looker Studio (GDS) connector allows users to visualize Siteimprove data within GDS. The data is obtained via the Siteimprove API, which is available to all Siteimprove customers.
