Advertising
What is the Advertising section?
If you use Advertising Intelligence, you can view performance summaries for your Facebook Ads and Google Ads accounts in the Executive Report in Business App. This section gives you a single view of your advertising performance across both platforms.
Why is it useful?
You can see what’s happening across your ad channels in one place. That makes it easier to see which ads are performing well and to track ROI without switching between platforms. The report combines performance data with comparison periods (week-over-week or month-over-month) so you can track trends and the value of your advertising.
Metrics you can view
- ROI – Return on investment across your ad channels
- Spend – Total advertising spend
- Impressions – How many times your ads were displayed
- Clicks – Number of clicks on your ads
- Conversions – Actions people took (purchases, sign-ups, etc.)
- Comparisons – Week-over-week or month-over-month performance
