Looker Studio

Client-branded dashboards that pull live from Arlo. Every client wants their own Looker Studio dashboard. Clone the Arlo template once, point it at the client, and GA4 + Ads + Shopify render live — no scheduled sync, no stale data, no CSV exports.

Looker Studio vs. ARLO

Looker Studio alternative — or a live Looker Studio connector? ARLO is both

Some agencies want ARLO's live GA4/Ads/Search Console data flowing into a Looker Studio dashboard they already built (that's what the rest of this page covers). Others are evaluating Looker Studio itself and wondering whether they need a dashboard at all. If you're in the second group: Looker Studio is free, but it still means building charts, wiring a connector per source, and maintaining a report per client. ARLO skips that step — Claude answers the question directly, live, without a dashboard in between.

Looker Studio	ARLONo dashboard to build
Setup	Build charts + filters per report	Ask Claude — nothing to build
Cost	Free, but often needs a paid connector behind it	Free to start, live queries included
Data freshness	As fresh as the connector's last sync	Live on every question
Multi-client scale	Clone and maintain a report per client	Assign a property per client in one connection
Ad-hoc questions	Limited to charts already on the dashboard	Any question, in plain English
Claude / AI access	Not included	The whole product

Skip Looker Studio when

✓You want an answer to one question, not a dashboard to interpret
✓You don't want to maintain a report template per client
✓You'd rather ask "how did we do last month" and get a sentence back

Keep Looker Studio when

—Clients expect a persistent, always-on visual dashboard they check themselves
—You already have a library of Looker Studio templates worth keeping
—Your team prefers reading charts over asking questions

FAQ

Destinations, answered

How ARLO gets your live data into the tools your clients already open.

What's the difference between a live connector and a scheduled push?

A live connector like Looker Studio queries ARLO on demand, so the dashboard is always current. A scheduled push or digest sends data on a cadence you choose: hourly, daily, or weekly.

How fresh is the data in each destination?

Live connectors pull the moment someone opens the report, so there are no stale CSVs. Scheduled destinations are as fresh as the cadence you set.

Can I client-brand the dashboards and reports?

Yes. Clone the ARLO template, point it at a client, and it renders with their branding. The Shareable Arlo Dashboard gives each client a tokenized, client-branded, read-only URL.

Do I need a data warehouse to use ARLO?

No. Destinations are optional. ARLO's core is live Claude queries with nothing stored — warehouses are there only for teams whose analysts want the raw data in their own stack.

How do I request a destination you haven't built?

Tell us on the contact form where your clients want their data. Every ask bumps that destination up the queue — the roadmap is demand-driven.
