# Visualize results using Data Studio

Data visualization tools can help you make sense of the data that you get out of Ads Data Hub. Additionally, reports containing graphs and other such visual representations often communicate trends and insights about your data more effectively than numbers can alone.

Data Studio is a free tool for creating charts and interactive data visualizations. Ads Data Hub integrates natively with Data Studio, making it easy to view your results in Data Studio. After running a query in Ads Data Hub, you can open the results directly into Data Studio.

## Objectives

This tutorial will teach you how to:

- Run a templated query in Ads Data Hub.
