Automated Custom Google Analytics reporting tool
-
The automated Dashboard reporting feature of Google Analytics is quite nice, but very limited when it comes to customizing layout. The three column layout just doesn't match the boards need for a high level, easy to read weekly online performance report.
I'm looking for a tool to make auto-email customized PDF reports out of Analytics data, with lots of customisation options and presented in a sleek but very readable manner.
I already found a bunch of Excel plugins to extract Analytics data into Excel, but that doesn't allow me to send automated PDF reports by e-mail. I also found web-based tools like Reporting Suite and Bime, but options seem to be limited other than that.
Can anyone recommend a tool with the desired features?
UPDATE: Recently the official Analytics blog posted a cool article about automating Analytics Report using Google Apps Script and the Analytics API together with Google Spreadsheets & Google Sites. I didn't try it yet, but it could very well be the answer to my question.

I might get in trouble for saying it on here, but the Raven tools set has some very nice data visualation tools for GA, and they allow you to create white label PDF reports on it.
Definitely worth taking up the free trial for.

Hi David,
Thanks for your advice. I know, also have a pro account there :). But it's only aimed at traffic and rankings and doesn't cover eCommerce for example.
