Marketing dashboard examples and free Looker Studio templates

Seven dashboard designs for the reports marketing and revenue teams open most, each with its audience, metrics and layout. The free templates come from Google’s own gallery. Looker Studio has been called Data Studio again since April 2026, so you’ll see both names.

The layouts are sketches of how we’d arrange each report. They hold no real data.

KPI dashboard

What should a KPI dashboard show?

A KPI dashboard shows the few numbers a team is judged on, each against a target and a past period. Keep it to five or seven. Put the most important number top left, and add a trend under each one, so anyone can see in seconds whether things are on track.

Executive dashboard

What goes on an executive dashboard?

An executive dashboard answers one question: is the business on plan? Show revenue, growth, retention and cash efficiency against plan, with one line on what changed. Leave out channel detail. Executives need a page they can read in a minute, plus a clear route to the team that owns each number.

ARR, Net revenue retention, Customer lifetime value, CAC payback, Plan against actual
Data sources
Your billing system, Your CRM, Your data warehouse

Tracking dashboard

What is a tracking dashboard?

A tracking dashboard follows campaigns from spend to result, so you can see which ones to keep. It lists each campaign with cost, clicks, conversions and revenue over the same dates. It also works as a health check, because a sudden gap between platforms usually means a broken tag.

Who opens it
Marketing managers and paid media teams
Metrics
CPC, CTR, Conversions, Conversion rate, Platform against GA4 conversions
Data sources
Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, GA4

Website analytics dashboard

What should a website dashboard include?

A website dashboard shows who arrived, where from, what they read and whether they converted. Lead with sessions and key events, then break them down by channel and landing page. Add a Search Console panel for organic queries. An analytics dashboard like this is often the first one a team builds.

Who opens it
Content, SEO and web teams
Metrics
Sessions and users, Key events, Conversion rate, Organic CTR, Top landing pages
Data sources
GA4, Google Search Console

Sales dashboard

What should a sales dashboard include?

A sales dashboard shows how much is in the pipeline, how fast it moves and what’s likely to close. Include open pipeline by stage, win rate, average deal size and sales cycle length, then compare each rep or team with quota. Use the same stage names as your CRM, so the numbers tie out.

Who opens it
Sales leaders and revenue operations
Metrics
Open pipeline, Win rate, Average deal size, Sales cycle length, Quota attainment
Data sources
HubSpot or Salesforce, Your data warehouse
Free templates

CRM dashboard

What should a CRM dashboard track?

A CRM dashboard tracks how leads move through your CRM and how clean the data is. Show new contacts by source, lifecycle stage counts, stage conversion rates and time to first response. Add a data quality panel for missing owners and duplicates, because every other report depends on those fields.

Who opens it
CRM owners, marketing operations and revenue operations
Metrics
New contacts by source, Lifecycle stage conversion, Time to first response, Contacts with no owner, Duplicate records
Data sources
HubSpot or Salesforce, Your data warehouse

Where can you find free Looker Studio templates?

Start with Google’s own gallery. It lists free marketing templates from the Data Studio team, and community reports for Google Ads, GA4, Search Console and ecommerce. We’ve picked the useful ones for each dashboard above. Check an older template connects to your data before you build on it.

Are Looker Studio templates free?

The templates in Google’s gallery are free to copy, and Data Studio itself is free to use. A paid Pro edition adds team features, and the guide to Data Studio pricing lists what it costs. Some connectors for non-Google data are paid, so check before you build on one.

Is Looker Studio the same as Data Studio?

Yes. Google announced in April 2026 that Looker Studio would go back to the name Data Studio, and Looker Studio Pro would become Data Studio Pro. Existing reports moved across with no action needed. People still search for Looker Studio templates, and they’re the same files.

How do you use a dashboard template?

Open the template, then choose Use my own data in the top right and connect your account. If the template uses several data sources, replace each one. Copy the report before you edit it, then rename it and remove any charts you won’t read, so the team sees only what matters.

What makes a good dashboard design?

A good dashboard answers one audience’s questions at a glance. Put the main numbers at the top, show each against a target or past period, and use the same date range throughout. Keep to one page where you can. If nobody would act on a chart, take it off.

What is the difference between a dashboard and a report?

A dashboard is a live view you check often, built to show whether things are on track. A report is a fuller document for one period, built to explain what happened and why. Many teams use a dashboard every week and a written report every month or quarter.

Do older Google Analytics templates still work?

Some older gallery templates were built for Universal Analytics, which stopped processing data in July 2023, so they may show errors with a GA4 property. Open a template and connect your data before you rely on it. A template named for GA4 is the safer place to start.

If you’d like one of these built on your own data, with each metric defined once, our Looker Studio dashboards work does that at a fixed price.
