Automate GA4 reports in Looker Studio

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Automate the 'Weekly Website Performance' report from GA4 data to run every Monday morning at 8 AM and email it to the marketing team distribution list. It needs to include sessions, page views, and conversion rates for the previous week.

Before I set up the automated 'Campaign Performance' report for the Head of Marketing, make sure it’s clear and actionable. Highlight the top 3 performing campaigns and the bottom 3 by conversion rate, and include a trend line for overall conversions over the past month. The goal is for her to immediately see what's working and what's not.

The automated GA4 report for the sales team just went out with incorrect conversion numbers.
The automated GA4 report for the sales team just ran and the conversion numbers for last week are significantly lower than expected, causing immediate alarm. I double-checked the GA4 property, and the raw data looks fine. I'm worried I messed up a filter or a calculation in the automated setup, but I can't tell the sales director I sent bad data. What’s the quickest way to diagnose if the issue is in the GA4 connector, the report logic, or a data sampling problem, and correct it before the next run?

I constantly get asked to make minor tweaks to automated GA4 reports after they've already been set up and distributed.
I find myself frequently making small adjustments to automated GA4 reports — changing a date range, adding a new metric, or adjusting a visualization — long after they've been initially delivered. This constant back-and-forth eats into my time and delays other work. What habit can I change in my initial report design or stakeholder consultation to better anticipate future needs and build more flexible, self-service automated reports from the start?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Google Looker's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
