Google Data Studio simplifies reporting and dashboards within the Google ecosystem.

However, the one neglected component of the Google ecosystem that marketers routinely and incorrectly avoid is Google Optimize. In this series, we’ll examine Google Optimize, what it does, why we should be using it, and set up our first test together.
