Create and manage dashboards

In addition to the Overview, you can create your own named dashboards. Each one has its own set of tiles. Use them when one layout cannot cover everything you check. For example, use a spend view and a conversion view, or a view for one product line.

If you manage several clients, connect each client's Google Ads account and switch between them. You can connect up to 10 Google Ads accounts. Each account has its own Overview and its own named dashboards.

Create a dashboard​

  1. Open the dashboard dropdown at the top left of the page. By default it shows Overview.
  2. Choose New dashboard.
  3. In Dashboard name, type a name of up to 80 characters, for example "Weekly performance".
  4. Choose Create dashboard.

The new dashboard opens empty. It shows "This dashboard is empty" and a prompt to add an existing report or create a new one. Add tiles with Add report. A named dashboard holds up to 50 reports. See Customize your dashboard.

Switch between dashboards​

The same dropdown lists Overview first, then every named dashboard for the current Google Ads account. The list includes dashboards that teammates created on the same Google Ads account. When you select one, the tiles below change.

The date range, comparison, and filters stay the same, so you can compare two layouts over the same period. The AI summary at the top belongs to each dashboard. When you switch, you see that dashboard's saved summary, or a Quick summary and a Write summary button. See The AI summary.

Rename, duplicate, or delete​

With a named dashboard open, use the menu button next to Export PDF:

  • Rename dashboard. Change the name. The tiles stay the same.
  • Duplicate dashboard. This makes a copy, named "<name> (copy)", with the same tiles. Use it as a start point for a variation you do not want to build twice.
  • Delete dashboard. This removes the dashboard and its layout. Your reports stay in the library, so you do not lose anything you built. Hero Marketer then returns you to the Overview.

These three actions apply to named dashboards only. You cannot rename, duplicate, or delete the Overview. It offers Reset to default layout instead.

Only the person who created a dashboard can rename it, delete it, or change its tiles. Anyone who can see a dashboard can duplicate it.

Move a report between dashboards​

Open a tile's menu, choose Move to dashboard, and pick the destination. The tile leaves the current dashboard and appears on the one you chose. If the other dashboard already has that report, it does not get a second copy. But the tile still leaves the current dashboard. To keep the tile in both places, use Copy to dashboard.

Move to dashboard appears only when there is another named dashboard to move the tile to. It never lists the Overview.

Dashboards belong to one account​

A dashboard is tied to the Google Ads account that was active when you created it. When you switch accounts, the dropdown shows that account's dashboards, not the ones you built elsewhere.

No dashboard combines several Google Ads accounts into one view. To compare accounts, switch between them. See Switch between accounts.

Who can see a named dashboard​

Hero Marketer saves named dashboards with the Google Ads account, not in your browser. You see them in any browser or on any device you sign in from. Everyone who connects the same Google Ads account to Hero Marketer sees them too.

  • Only the person who created a dashboard can rename it, delete it, or change its tiles.
  • Anyone who can see a dashboard can choose Duplicate dashboard to get their own copy.
  • AI summaries are private to each person.
  • The Overview layout stays in each person's browser. See Customize your dashboard.

There are no seats or invites. Each teammate signs in with their own Google account and connects the same Google Ads account.
