Top Display and Paid Search Ad Metrics
Looking for some ideas on what advertising analytics to monitor, here are a few common metrics and KPIs to consider:
- Impressions: The total number of times your ad was displayed. The number by itself does not hold much value but it is a metric used to calculate other metrics and KPIs. Note: An impression does not mean that someone actually saw your ad, it just means that the ad was shown on a web page/app.
- Reach: This is the number of unique people that potentially saw your ad. The number should always be lower than the number of impressions because your ad is generally shown to the same person (using cookies) more than once.
- Clicks: Number of clicks on an ad that lead to a person leaving the ad. Keep in mind that a click does not mean that a person landed on the intended destination of the banner ad. There are multiple factors that could lead to a click but not a visit to the desired page.
- Visits: As mentioned above, not every click turns into a visitor landing on your website. Visits are measured by the clicks that did end up on your website.
- Visitors: The visitors metric goes one step further and calculates the number of people (counted by their unique cookies) who ended up on your website as a results of a click on your ad.
- CTR (Click Through Rate): This is the number of clicks generated per impression of an ad. CTR is expressed as a percentage. CTR = (Click / Impressions) x 100
- Engagement Rate: This applies to rich media ads where there is an opportunity for the user to interact with the ad. Engagement rate is the percentage of interactions per impression of an ad. Engagement rate = (Number of Interactions / Total Impressions) x 100
- CPC (Cost Per Click): CPC is the cost that you pay for each click. CPC = Cost/Clicks.
- Conversions: This should be considered your most important metric to track and is usually linked to your Google Tag Manager for tracking. A conversion is the count of action that you want the visitors to take when they arrive from your display ads. Common examples of conversions are: purchase made, newsletter signup, trial sign up, registration for a webinar lead, and more.
- Conversion Rate: Conversion rate is the percentage of visits that resulted in a desired conversion. Conversion Rate = (Total Conversions / Visits) x 100.
- CPC (Cost Per Conversion): Another top metric to track for your digital ads. CPC = (Total Cost / Number of Conversions).
- Revenue: Another key metric to help track the success of your digital advertising campaigns. Revenue is calculated at the total amount of revenue that is directly attributed to the visits from your paid advertising efforts.
