How It Works¶

To access the Account Overview cards, navigate to Manage ads > All campaigns > Overview.

Account Cards & Charts With Metric Insights¶

The Account Overview feature set is comprised of these insight metric cards and charts, described in the following sections:

• Account Health, with overall scores that indicate how your campaigns are performing in terms of their budgets, competitive bids for your ad groups, and the ads you’re running

• Top movers with campaign performance changes for KPIs with different time horizons

• Dimensions by Device type, like Smartphone, Desktop and Tablet

• Activities by clicks

• Locations by clicks

• Alerts & notifications

• KPI bar graphs for post-impression conversions, post-click conversions, and more

View KPI Bar Graphs¶

For a graphical view of your campaign performance, including Impressions, Clicks, CTR, Post-click CPA, Avg. cost, Post-click conversions, Post-click CPA and Total conversions, click the KPI bar.

Access Bid & Budget Opportunities¶

To highlight campaigns that are hitting their budget caps and any ad groups that have non-competitive bids, you can access new bid and budget opportunities via the Account Health card on the Overview tab.

Budget opportunities are surfaced for campaigns that are hitting budget caps or being restricted by their budgets.

For highlighted campaigns, follow these steps:

1. Click the Account Health card link for a filtered view of the campaigns tab and an icon that links to the Budget Opportunity Drawer.

2. In the Budget Opportunity Drawer, you can toggle the budget value up and down to forecast performance changes.

Overpacing is defined as a campaign that has been hitting its budget cap regularly over the past 7 days.

Low Bid opportunities flag ad groups whose bids (assuming a fixed CTR value), make their eCPM less competitive in a bid landscape model than they could be.

For ad groups flagged as having a low bid, follow these steps:

1. In the filtered view of the ad group, navigate to the icon next to the low bid alert column.

2. Click that icon to see a right bid drawer that shows the Max Click bid recommendation, as well as a step-value slider and a graph with directional KPIs that might be achieved at various bid levels.

3. In the UI, you’ll see the MAXIMUM clicks value on the bid landscape curve, above which additional bid increases will yield diminishing scale opportunities.

Active Ad Rejections¶

For a filtered view of the ads in the account that are tagged with editorial rejection flags, click the Account Health button.

Alerts¶

The Alerts card highlights HIGH priority alerts over the last 14 days and includes opportunities, like ads with declining CTR, or billing and funding issues that can be addressed.

View Top Movers¶

The Top movers card shows campaign performance changes for a variety of KPIs for the following time-horizons:

• Day over Day

• Week over Week (i.e., the trailing 7 days compared to the previous 7 days)

• Month over Month (i.e., the trailing 30 days vs. the previous 30 days)

View Dimensions¶

The Dimensions chart highlights account-level metrics by device type, i.e., Smartphone, Desktop and Tablet. You can view metrics for

• CTR

• Impressions

• Clicks

• Spend

1. To view a device dimensions breakout in the campaign tab, click the link at the bottom right corner of the card.

2. Click the CTR dropdown to view the Average CPC and Average CPA.

View Activities¶

The Activities card lets you analyze account-level hourly trends by displaying a heatmap, with a range from less to more activities by clicks.

1. Click the Clicks dropdown to view Post-impression conversions, impressions, Spend and Post-click conversions for your campaigns.

View Locations¶

The Location card enables you to visualize KPIs at the State, City and DMA levels to help with location targeting when planning your campaigns.
