Step 1 — parity check before client communication
Connect ReportCue to one client's GSC + GA4 + SEMrush. Side-by-side the numbers for the most recent month against the Looker dashboard. Identify the deltas (often: GA4 channel grouping differences, sample-rate effects). Make sure stakeholders see the same numbers either tool.
Step 2 — pilot with one client
Pick a client with a frequent reporting cadence and walk them through the new dashboard in the next review. Most agencies find clients prefer the cleaner format and don't notice the underlying tool change.
Step 3 — migrate the bulk over a quarter
Onboard remaining clients across the next quarter. Keep Looker live in parallel for the first review cycle of each. Decommission once a successful review has run on the new tool.
