How to сonfigure SE Ranking reports in Google Looker Studio

SE Ranking allows you to send data directly from the platform to Google Looker Studio, where you can view various SE Ranking reports.

To access your data in GLS, begin by clicking on the appropriate button in SE Ranking’s Rank Tracker, Website Audit, or Backlink Checker tool, as shown in the screenshot below. Here, you will find a list of available templates that were created on the demo project:

1. Click on the button with three dots and press the Make a copy button to duplicate the template.
