Tableau Google Analytics Dashboard Template

Tableau Google Analytics Dashboard Template

This Tableau Google Analytics Dashboard template allows you to visualize in Tableau your Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) or Google Analytics 4 data in a few clicks, through our dedicated Tableau Web Data Connectors for Google Analytics and Google Analytics 4 (GA 4).

Dimensions and metrics visualized in this report:

  • Sessions
  • Average Page Views per Session
  • Unique Page Views
  • Bounce Rate
  • Average Session Duration
  • Top Referrals
  • Traffic by Channel
  • Most Visited Pages
  • Traffic by Device
  • Traffic by Country

 

In this dashboard you’ll be able to see all the above metrics for the selected time frame compared to previous time frame, as well as their trend in the last year. It allows filtering by Referral, Country, Channel, Device and Website Page.

It also contains a powerful custom-built date selector, which isn’t available by default in Tableau.

 

How to use this template

Connect your Google Analytics account to Windsor.ai using our dedicated connector

1. Connect your Google Analytics data to Windsor.ai using Our Onboard Page. Register or login if you already have an account.

2. Choose Google Analytics (UA) or Google Analytics 4 (App + Web) from the left-side menu. If you want to see what other data sources you can connect to, you can find all the available data sources on this page.

3. Click on “Sign in with Google”. In the pop-up, connect to your Google Analytics account and grant the required privileges. You’ll also be able to choose which views to include in this step. Our recommendation is to include all your views, as you’ll be able to filter between them afterwards (either within Windsor.ai or Tableau Desktop).
