What you get

Native Looker Studio data source

Published as a Looker Studio Community Connector. Add Citare as a data source in your reports with one OAuth click. No SQL, no API code, no Zapier glue — Citare data appears as Looker Studio fields ready for charts.

Full metric catalog

Brand Radar surface rates (per platform, per persona, per ICP). Rank Tracker positions (daily snapshots, geo-segmented). Site Audit scores + check pass rates. Backlinks growth + new/lost domains. Keywords Explorer KD + volume. Free tool usage logs (Agency tier).

Daily refresh, no rate-limit pain

Connector fetches via Citare's Pro-tier API with shared rate budget. Reports refresh on Looker Studio's standard cadence (default daily; force refresh on save). Tier rate limits absorb the connector's traffic without affecting your interactive API usage.

Multi-project + portfolio dashboards

Agency tier connector supports multi-project queries — pull data from every project under your account into a single portfolio dashboard. White-label-ready: hide the Citare branding for client-facing dashboards on Agency tier.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from connecting via the REST API?

Three differences. (1) Zero code — native Looker Studio data source, OAuth one-click setup. (2) Cached + tier-rate-budgeted — connector reuses your tier's API quota without blowing it. (3) Maintained — connector field schema follows the OpenAPI spec; new Citare metrics auto-appear in Looker without your dashboards breaking.

Which tier unlocks the Looker connector?

Pro tier ($119/₹9,999). Ahrefs's Looker Studio connector is Enterprise-only ($1,500+/mo). Citare's at Pro is a key differentiation point for agencies — see /vs/ahrefs for the side-by-side.

Can I use this for client-facing dashboards?

Yes — Agency tier ($299/₹24,999) unlocks white-label mode: hide the Citare branding in field labels, replace the report header with your agency brand, share dashboards via custom-domain link. Pro tier supports the connector but with Citare branding visible.

Does the connector pull historical data?

Yes. Full historical export of Brand Radar runs (back to project start), Rank Tracker history (90-day default, longer on paid tiers), Site Audit runs, Backlinks growth. Time-series fields are date-keyed so Looker time-comparison features work natively.

How do I install it?

Open Looker Studio → Create → Data Source → search 'Citare'. Click Authorize, sign in with your Citare account, pick the project. Connector ready in 30 seconds. Step-by-step at docs.citare.ai/integrations/looker (after launch).

What if I use a different BI tool — Tableau / Power BI / Metabase?

Use the REST API or MCP server. Tableau and Power BI have HTTP/JSON connectors that can hit Citare's REST API directly. Metabase has a similar approach. Native connectors for these are on the Phase 12 roadmap.
