3. PPC multi-channel dashboard with budget in Google Sheets
If you are managing multiple projects for several clients and have agreed on specific budgets for each project, keeping track of your spending can be quite challenging. This PPC dashboard for budget tracking is extremely useful for such situations, as it enables you to track and manage ad spend across all your PPC platforms in near real-time.
Insights this dashboard provides:

- Alerts – tells you when you’re over or within budget, as well as when you should reduce spending to prevent exceeding your set limits. All you need to do is manually enter the planned budget amount for each ad platform and plug in your ad accounts.
Let’s look more closely at how this dashboard can help with budget management. Suppose you check the table and notice you’re spending 40% faster than planned on Google Ads, while your Facebook campaigns are underutilizing their budget. The alert system flags this trend, allowing you to quickly rebalance your spending before you exceed monthly limits.
As the dashboard is automated with the help of Coupler.io, it will automatically pull data from the ad platforms and refresh numbers in the report according to your preferred schedule.
4. PPC monthly budget dashboard in Google Sheets
This Google Sheets dashboard resembles the previous one as it also features a tab providing an overview of the ad budget for the current month. However, the real value here is the historical data from multiple PPC sources, which enables you to conduct time-over-time analysis. The dashboard gives you a comprehensive overview of your ad campaign expenses and shows how your actual ad spend compares to the planned budget.
Insights the dashboard provides:
- Monthly dynamics – track monthly advertising spending to ensure you don’t blow your budget too early in the year, or lose opportunities to spend more.
- Monitor average daily costs – keep on eye on how much you spend each day and how it impacts your monthly budget.
- Detailed budget and cost breakdown – monitor spending per channel (e.g., Google Ads) to compare costs and prevent going over budget.
Take this scenario: You check your dashboard on a Wednesday morning and notice your Google Ads spending has already hit $8,500 – 70% of your monthly budget. The daily cost breakdown shows three consecutive days of $450 spent, far above your $300 daily target. With this insight, you can quickly adjust campaign parameters to maintain steady ad visibility through the rest of the month.
Tip: After linking your data sources, manually input your planned budget as a reference point for tracking expenses and predicting future costs. You will get a detailed budget and cost breakdown by ad platform, as well as alerts to avoid overspending.
