How To Create Storyboards Using Google Analytics

It’s easy to create great digital marketing storyboards using Google Analytics data! On top of that, you can even mix other PPC data sources into a single visual or storyboard.

1.) Connect Your Account

It’s very easy to connect your Google Analytics account to Optix. It requires only 2 quick steps:

  1. In your Data Manager, choose “+ Add Data Source” and click on “Google Analytics.”
  2. You’re then redirected to Google Analytics. Sign in as usual and allow Optix to access your Google Analytics data (don’t worry – we only use it to generate your storyboards!).

As a sign of success, your account will now appear in your Data Manager main screen.

You’re now ready to create your Google Analytics storyboard!

2.) Visual KPIs, metrics, and dimensions
