What Looker does best
Looker (now part of Google) is a powerful BI platform for building custom dashboards and analyzing data from multiple sources. It's strong for teams who have complex data infrastructure and want full control.
The gap Looker can't fill
Looker is a "what happened" tool, not a "how did we get here" tool. Building an SEO attribution model in Looker requires significant data engineering and still won't connect to Google Search Console properly.
tracerHQ connects your GSC data, product analytics, and Stripe, so you see conversion rate and MRR per keyword—not just rankings.
