Custom Reporting for Studio Better

Client Reporting Platform
Studio Better is a Melbourne SEO agency. They were paying around $5,000 a year for a third-party platform just to show clients their results. We built them their own — pulling Search Console, GA4 and Shopify into editable, client-ready reports they own, with no per-client fees.

Custom Reporting for Studio Better — client reporting platform

⚠ Internal — draft, do not publish

Case study details outstanding. The specifics on this page are placeholder pending the client’s confirmation of figures and wording. Do not publish until the real details are supplied — nothing here has been invented from data we don’t have.

The Problem

Renting the tool that shows their own work.

Every month Studio Better had to show each client their SEO results — and they were paying a third-party platform $5,000 a year to do it, on someone else's terms.

  • $5,000 a year for a reporting platform — a cost that climbed with every new client.
  • Reports were locked to the SaaS's templates, not Studio Better's brand or story.
  • Pulling Search Console, GA4 and Shopify numbers into one place meant wrestling a generic tool.
  • No control — a pricing or feature change from the vendor, and they were stuck.
  • Clients logged into someone else's software, not Studio Better's.
The Build

Live data in, client-ready reports out.

3 sources
Search Console, GA4 & Shopify
Drag-and-drop report cards pull live numbers from each source; the team edits a draft and publishes, and each client sees only their own report through a secure portal.
What It Does

The system, step by step.

1

Pull the data

Live numbers flow in from Google Search Console, GA4 and Shopify — no manual exports or copy-paste.

2

Build the report

The team assembles a monthly report from drag-and-drop cards: search performance, traffic, revenue and commentary.

3

Add the story

Custom text cards let them explain the numbers in Studio Better's own voice — not a locked SaaS template.

4

Publish

One click turns the working draft into the client-facing version.

5

Client portal

Each client logs into a clean, view-only report scoped by row-level security to just their own data.

The Payoff

$5k a year back, and a tool they own.

The subscription is gone. The reports now look like Studio Better, run on their own data, and cost nothing extra as they add clients — where the old platform charged more with every one.

Built Right

Their brand, their data, their tool.

Their brand, their voice

Reports look like Studio Better and read in their own words — not a vendor's template with someone else's logo in the corner.

Live data, no exports

Search Console, GA4 and Shopify pull straight in. Drag-and-drop cards, draft then publish — no spreadsheets in between.

Clients see only their own

A view-only client portal, scoped per client with Supabase row-level security. Team members edit; clients just view.

More than reports

The same platform also runs client onboarding, proposals and automated SEO audits — one system instead of a stack of subscriptions.

In Their Words

What the client said.

“We were paying five grand a year to show our own clients their own results — in someone else's software. Better Automations built us our own reporting tool: it pulls straight from Search Console, GA4 and Shopify, looks like us, and every client logs into their own portal. The subscription's gone and we own the thing now.”
