Looker Studio Integration

Export your AI visibility data to Google Looker Studio for custom dashboards and reporting.

The Looker Studio integration lets you export your Reaudit AI visibility data into Google Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio). Build custom dashboards, create scheduled reports, and combine Reaudit data with your other data sources — all inside Looker Studio.

How It Works

Reaudit provides a Looker Studio Community Connector — a plugin that Looker Studio uses to pull data directly from your Reaudit account. The connector authenticates using a dedicated API key (ls_ prefix), then lets you select a project and data type. Looker Studio fetches the schema and data automatically.

Reaudit Looker Studio Community Connector authorization and credentials screen — The Reaudit connector in Looker Studio — paste your API key to authenticate.

Step 1: Generate an API Key in Reaudit

1Go to your Reaudit dashboard and navigate to Tools > Looker Studio (or go directly to /dashboard/looker-studio).
2Click the "New Key" button in the API Keys section.
3Give your key a descriptive name (e.g. "My Looker Dashboard" or "Client Report Q1").
4Select which data types the key should have access to — you can pick one or multiple (AI Visibility, Prompt Analytics, Citations, Visibility Gaps, Visibility Lifts, Competitors).
5Optionally scope the key to a specific project, or leave it as "All projects" for access to all your projects.
6Click "Create Key" — your new API key will appear in a green banner.
7Copy the key immediately — it starts with ls_ and will only be shown once. Store it somewhere safe.

Copy Your Key Now

The full API key is only shown once when it is created. After you dismiss the banner, only the key prefix (first few characters) will be visible. If you lose the key, you will need to create a new one.

Step 2: Open the Reaudit Connector in Looker Studio

1Go to Google Looker Studio at lookerstudio.google.com.
2Click "Create" in the top left, then select "Data source".
3In the connector gallery, search for "Reaudit" or "Reaudit - AI Search Intelligence".
4Click on the Reaudit connector to open it.
5You will see the Authorization section on the left and the Credentials section on the right.
6Click "AUTHORIZE" on the left side to grant Looker Studio permission to use the connector (this is a one-time step).

Step 3: Authenticate with Your API Key

1In the Credentials section on the right, you will see a "Key" input field under the Reaudit logo.
2Paste your ls_ API key into the Key field.
3Click "SUBMIT" to authenticate.
4If the key is valid, you will proceed to the configuration screen. If you see an error, double-check that you copied the full key correctly.

Do Not Enter Your Google Password

The credentials screen is specifically asking for your Reaudit API key (starts with ls_). Do not enter your Google account email or password here.

Step 4: Configure Your Data Source

1After authentication, the connector will show a configuration screen with dropdown menus.
2Select the Project you want to pull data from (this list comes from your Reaudit account).
3Select the Data Type — for example, "AI Visibility", "Citations", or "Competitors".
4Click "Connect" in the top right corner of Looker Studio.
5Looker Studio will fetch the schema (field definitions) from Reaudit and display the available fields.
6Click "Create Report" or "Explore" to start building your dashboard.

Step 5: Build Your Dashboard

Once connected, your Reaudit data appears as a regular Looker Studio data source. You can build charts, tables, scorecards, and filters just like any other data source.

Drag fields from the data panel to create charts (time series, bar charts, pie charts, tables, etc.)
Use the date dimension to filter data to specific time periods
Add a "Date Range" control so report viewers can pick their own time window
Add filters by AI platform (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) to drill into specific engines
Combine multiple Reaudit data sources in one report (e.g. AI Visibility + Competitors)
Use Looker Studio's blending feature to join Reaudit data with GA4 or Search Console data

Available Data Types

Each data type becomes a separate data source in Looker Studio. You can connect the same API key multiple times with different data type selections:

AI Visibility

Mention and citation data from AI engine responses. Includes visibility score, mention count, citation count, sentiment scores (positive/negative/neutral), and platform breakdown per AI answer (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.).

Prompt Analytics

Per-prompt performance metrics. Includes prompt text, topic, mention rate across engines, total citation count, average sentiment, and last-run date. Use this to identify which prompts perform best.

Citations

Individual citation records. Includes the cited URL, domain, citation position (1st, 2nd, 3rd...), the prompt that triggered it, the AI platform, and the date. Use this for citation tracking over time.

Competitors

Competitor mention and citation comparison across AI platforms. Includes competitor name, mention count, citation count, visibility score, and platform breakdown. Build side-by-side comparison charts.

Visibility Gaps

Detected gaps where your brand is absent or underperforming in AI responses. Includes gap type (absent, underperforming, competitor-dominant), severity score, the prompt query, and which competitors are present.

Visibility Lifts

Campaign lift tracking. Includes baseline visibility score, current score, lift percentage, associated campaign, and ROI metrics. Use this to measure the impact of your paid campaigns on AI visibility.

Managing API Keys

You can create multiple API keys with different scopes. For example, one key for AI visibility data on Project A, and another key for competitor data on Project B. Each key can be independently revoked without affecting others.

Keys use the ls_ prefix and are separate from MCP API keys (rau_ prefix)
Each key tracks usage count and the last-used date
Revoked keys stop working immediately — any Looker Studio reports using a revoked key will show an authentication error
You can create keys scoped to a specific project or with access to all projects
There is no limit on the number of keys you can create

Adding All Data Types to One Report

Looker Studio works with one data type per data source — this is standard for all connectors (Google Analytics, Search Console, etc.). To see all your Reaudit data, simply add the connector multiple times in the same report, once per data type. Use the same API key each time.

For a complete dashboard with all 6 data types, repeat these steps 6 times:

1In your Looker Studio report, click "Add data" from the toolbar (or Resource > Manage added data sources).
2Search for the Reaudit connector again.
3Enter the same API key you used before.
4Select a different data type from the dropdown (e.g. "Prompt Analytics" if you already added "AI Visibility").
5Click Connect — name the data source clearly (e.g. "Reaudit — Prompt Analytics") so you can identify it later.
6Repeat until you have all the data types you need. Each chart in your report can pull from any data source.

Scheduling Automated Reports

Looker Studio supports scheduled email delivery of your reports:

1Open your completed Looker Studio report.
2Click the Share menu (top right) and select "Schedule email delivery".
3Set the frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly), recipient email addresses, and the time of delivery.
4Choose whether to include a PDF attachment or just a link.
5Click "Schedule" — Looker Studio will email the report automatically.

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" error

Make sure you are pasting the full API key (starts with ls_). The key is only shown once when created — if you lost it, go to /dashboard/looker-studio, revoke the old key, and create a new one.

"No projects found" on configuration screen

This means your Reaudit account has no projects set up, or the API key is scoped to a project that no longer exists. Create a project in Reaudit first, or create a new key with "All projects" scope.

Data is not updating / stale data

Looker Studio caches data from community connectors. Click the "Refresh" button in your Looker Studio report to pull fresh data. You can also configure automatic refresh in the data source settings (Resource > Manage added data sources > Edit > Data freshness).

"Connector has not been verified" warning

Community connectors that are not yet reviewed by Google show an "Attention" warning. This is normal — the connector is safe to use. It connects only to reaudit.io APIs using your API key. Google verification is pending.

Date Range

The connector supports Looker Studio's date range picker. You can use it to filter data to any time period. By default, the last 30 days of data are returned.
