Looker Studio Connector Gallery. Publishing will let all Looker Studio users
easily find your connector and provide visibility to your connector based on
connector name, description, and listed data sources.
Criteria
Partner Connector
Description
Partner Connectors are developed, deployed, maintained
and supported by the connector developers.
The goal of the connector gallery is to help users discover and easily connect
to a wide variety of data.
To increase discoverability of your connector, the best thing you can do is
ensure users have a positive experience using your connector. This typically
means building a high quality connector that performs as described and provides
some level of support and ongoing maintenance. Features like direct links and
report templates that showcase your connector can also help to promote and
increase usage of your connector. We regularly review and optimize the discovery
experience by experimenting with different visual formats and layouts, and
enhancing our ranking algorithms.
The primary factor involved in ranking connectors is popularity. Publish date
and longevity is also a factor and recently published connectors receive a
short-term "ranking boost" to increase discoverability.
The order of published partner connectors is based on rank, including when
filtered by search. However, there may be differences between the
public gallery, which is the same for all viewers, and the
in-product gallery, which will be customized for the signed-in user and list
previously viewed/installed connectors first, followed by connectors that have
not been viewed/installed.
