Additional data from Search Console is now available through the Google Data Studio connector, allowing users to visualize traffic from more Google sources.
This update is announced by Google Search Advocate Daniel Waisberg in his second post of a blog series related to Data Studio & Search Console.
In case you missed it, his first article focuses on the benefits of connecting Search Console to Data Studio in the first place.
In his second installment, published today, Waisberg announces the addition of more data:
“… we have some good news for Data Studio users: as of today, the Search Console connector includes data for Discover and Google News traffic, similar to the data recently added to the API.”
This means you can now import more than just Search data to Google Data Studio.
Along with this update, Waisberg is sharing a dashboard template you can use in Data Studio to toggle between between different Search Console properties, data types, devices, and more.
