Google Analytics 360 is going to integrate Meridian MMM, allowing "new signals in Google Ads to provide timely insights". It's hard not to think that this turns it into an MMM tool without TTP status...so something else. BTW, my custom Claude just confirmed it. 😁 #GoogleAnalytics #MMM

Here I go again, crafting yet another way to compare two custom date ranges of Google Search Console within #LookerStudio. I've lost count of how many alternatives I've built... For my latest recipe based on sliders, first tests are promising, especially for short ranges. To be continued.
