If you manage a WordPress site, you’re already sitting on a goldmine of data. Blog posts, landing pages, custom post types, campaign pages, and content updates all tell a story about how your marketing is performing. The challenge isn’t generating this information — it’s making sense of it without constantly logging into WordPress or pulling manual reports.
That’s where a marketing dashboard comes in. By syncing your WordPress data into Google Sheets, you can turn scattered content metrics into a clear, live overview. With WPSyncSheets For Core, this process becomes straightforward. Your posts, pages, and custom post types sync automatically into Google Sheets, giving you a flexible foundation for reporting and analysis.
Let’s break down how you can build a simple but powerful marketing dashboard using WordPress data and Google Sheets.
Why Is Google Sheets Ideal for a Marketing Dashboard?
Google Sheets works so well for marketing teams because it’s familiar and flexible. You don’t need special training or expensive software to get started. Once your WordPress data is inside Sheets, you can:
- View all your key content data in one place
- Sort and filter posts by date, category, or status
- Create charts and summaries in minutes
- Share dashboards with teammates or clients instantly
- Connect Sheets with tools like Looker Studio
The only missing piece is getting your WordPress data into Sheets automatically. That’s exactly what WPSyncSheets For Core is designed to do.
What WordPress Data Can You Sync?
With WPSyncSheets For Core, you’re not limited to forms or transactions. You can sync the content that drives your marketing strategy, including:
- Blog posts
- Pages and landing pages
- Custom post types (case studies, portfolios, events, resources)
- Post metadata and custom fields
- Author details, publish dates, and status updates
Once synced, this WordPress data becomes the backbone of your marketing dashboard.
Step 1: Sync WordPress Posts and Pages into Google Sheets
Your content is often the first touchpoint in your marketing funnel. Blog posts attract traffic, landing pages capture interest, and custom post types support campaigns.
With WPSyncSheets For Core, all of this content syncs directly into Google Sheets. As soon as a post is published, updated, or changed, the spreadsheet updates as well. This allows you to:
- Track how often new content is published
- Monitor draft vs published content
- Review content by author or category
- Compare performance across campaigns or time periods
Instead of scrolling through the WordPress admin, you get a clean, sortable overview of your content in Sheets.
Step 2: Use WordPress Data to Measure Marketing Performance
Once your WordPress data is in Google Sheets, it becomes much easier to analyze how your content supports your marketing goals. For example, you can:
- Identify which blog categories are updated most often.
- Track landing pages created for specific campaigns.
- Monitor content refresh cycles.
- Compare long-form content vs short updates.
- Pair content data with external traffic or conversion data.
Even without advanced tools, this visibility helps you understand what your marketing team is actually producing and where effort is being spent.
Step 3: Organize Your Spreadsheet for Reporting
Good dashboards start with well-structured data. WPSyncSheets For Core automatically creates clean headers, making organization easy. Useful columns often include:
- Post ID
- Post title
- Post type
- Author
- Publish date
- Post status
- Custom fields or tags
With this structure in place, you can quickly filter, group, and summarize your WordPress data. This makes building charts and formulas much easier later on.
Step 4: Build a Simple Marketing Dashboard in Google Sheets
Once your data is synced and organized, create a separate “Dashboard” tab in your spreadsheet. From there, you can pull in key metrics such as:
- Number of posts published this month
- Content by post type
- Active vs draft content
- Top authors by output
- Campaign-specific landing pages
Use charts, pivot tables, and conditional formatting to highlight trends. Because WPSyncSheets keeps your data updated automatically, your dashboard always reflects the current state of your WordPress site.
Step 5: Share, Collaborate, and Automate
One of the biggest advantages of using Google Sheets is collaboration. Your dashboard can be shared with:
- Marketing teams
- Content editors
- Clients or stakeholders
You can also connect your Sheets to other tools for automation and reporting. This turns your dashboard into more than just a report — it becomes a shared workspace where decisions are made using real data.
