Step 1: Make Your Own Copy of the Report

Note: It will appear to be broken, but the next step will fix that.

Step 2: Add in Your Data Source

Click “Create Data Source,” then choose “Google Analytics.” 

Select the account you wish to pull data from (make sure you’re in the right view). Connect your data source.

Then, go back to the template. Click “Edit,” select the table you wish to populate, and then change the broken data source to your own Analytics account.

Step 3: Create Necessary Filters.

For the most accurate data, you’ll need to have appropriate filters set for Google Shopping, Google Search, and your branded Search campaigns.

If you don’t already have these created, follow these instructions:

1. Keep our existing “Google / CPC” filter:
   
2. Create a Shopping/Search/Brand filter.
   

Step 4: Duplicate Tabs and Adjust as Needed

If you want to see additional views and data breakdowns, duplicate a tab (or table) and add the filters, data sources, dimensions, and metrics you desire.
