The problem

You wanted a dashboard. You got a pricing page.

Search for how to build a KPI dashboard and you get the same answer every time: sign up for a platform. Connect your data sources. Pick a template. Learn the builder. Pay per seat, every month, forever — and you’re still the one wiring it together at 11pm, wondering why the numbers don’t match your spreadsheet.

You didn’t want another piece of software to run. You wanted to open one tab and see how the business is doing.

That’s what this is. I build you a live dashboard inside your own Google Sheet — the tool you already have, already trust, already share with your team. It updates itself as your data comes in. No new login, no per-seat bill, no platform to babysit. Just the numbers that matter, in one place, kept current for you.

The whole difference: the platforms rent you a dashboard builder. I hand you the finished dashboard.

What you get

What “a dashboard” actually includes

Tell me the handful of numbers you check to know the business is healthy, and I turn them into one clean, live view. Depending on what you track, that means:

  • Your real KPIs, up top — revenue, leads, jobs booked, cash in, whatever you run on — as big, readable numbers you can grasp in three seconds.
  • Charts that update themselves — trends over time, this-month-vs-last, breakdowns by product, rep, or channel — redrawn automatically as new rows land.
  • One live tab, always current — it pulls from your existing sheet (or a simple form/import I set up), so you’re never copy-pasting to refresh it.
  • A weekly AI summary — every week, a short plain-English note on what moved and what to watch, written from your own numbers and dropped where you’ll see it.
  • Built to hand off — it’s your Google Sheet, yours to keep, with a short note on how it’s wired so nothing is a black box.
$650 flat · agreed before I start · no per-seat subscription

One number, agreed before I start — no per-seat subscription, no metered builder, no surprise invoice. Want it fed by other tools or rebuilt every month? That gets its own flat quote up front. Runs natively in Google Sheets; if your data lives in Excel, moving it over is part of the job.

See it first

Open a real one before you decide

You don’t have to imagine it. There’s a working dashboard you can open right now — real KPIs, live charts, the weekly-summary layout — the same kind of build you’d get.

  1. Open the live sample.

    See the live dashboard → Click into it, poke around, see exactly what “self-updating in Google Sheets” looks like in practice.

  2. Send me your numbers.

    Show me the sheet (or the mess) you’d want turned into a dashboard, or just describe the numbers you wish you could see at a glance. Two minutes.

  3. Get a free mini-demo on your data.

    I’ll build a working piece of your dashboard — on your real numbers, usually within a business day — so you see it live before you spend a dollar. Keep it either way.

No discovery call, no proposal to read, no contract before you’ve seen it working on your own data.

Questions people ask

Google Sheets dashboards, answered

Can someone build me a dashboard in Google Sheets?
Yes — that’s this service. You send Colin McCarthy at Automated Workflow the numbers you want to track, and he builds a live, self-updating KPI dashboard inside your own Google Sheet, with a weekly AI summary. It’s $650 flat, and you can open a live sample and get a free mini-demo on your real data before you decide.
How much does a Google Sheets dashboard cost to have built?
$650 flat, agreed up front before any work starts — no per-seat subscription and no metered dashboard builder. Feeding it from other tools or rebuilding it on a recurring schedule gets its own flat quote. You can also see a working piece on your real data first through the free mini-demo, so you know what you’re paying for before you pay.
What does a small business KPI dashboard include?
Your key numbers as big readable figures up top (revenue, leads, jobs booked, cash — whatever you run on), charts that update themselves as new data lands, one live tab that stays current from your existing sheet, and a weekly plain-English AI summary of what moved and what to watch. You can see a real example on the live sample.
Does the Google Sheets dashboard update automatically?
Yes. It pulls from your existing sheet (or a simple form or import that gets set up for you), so the numbers and charts refresh on their own as new rows come in — no copy-pasting to update it. It’s a live tab you open, not a static report you rebuild each week.
Google Sheets dashboard vs. a dashboard tool like Looker Studio or Databox — which do I need?
A dedicated platform makes sense if you want a standalone app with many data connectors and per-seat billing. If you’d rather have the dashboard live inside the Google Sheet your team already uses — no new login, no monthly per-seat cost, built and handed to you finished for $650 flat — that’s what this is. It’s your sheet, yours to keep, plus a weekly AI summary.
Is there a Google Sheets dashboard service for my small business near me?
Automated Workflow is based in Gainesville, FL and builds dashboards for small businesses everywhere in the US — the whole job runs remotely over email and Google Sheets, so “near me” doesn’t limit it. Same real person, same $650 flat price, same live sample and free mini-demo whether you’re down the street or across the country.
