The reporting dashboard summarizes how your ad campaigns are performing based on your objective, spend, Pin clicks and more.
On the reporting page you’ll see a graph where you can apply filters to see a visual representation of your ads performance, and a reporting table where you can view or export your data.
Metric | Definition |
---|---|
Spend | The total amount you’ve spent during the reporting time period |
Impressions | The number of times your Pins or ads were on screen |
Pin clicks | The total number of times people tap on a Pin that leads them to a destination on or off of Pinterest |
Outbound clicks | The number of times people perform actions that lead them to a destination off Pinterest |
Cost per result | The average cost per result |
CTR | The total Pin clicks divided by total impressions |
Newly created, low quality and incorrectly targeted ads and product groups will not show any activity on the reporting dashboard because Pinners have not interacted with them. When ad and product group metrics are undelivered we hide these rows on the dashboard by default to improve the load time of your reporting table and avoid page timeouts.
To view these undelivered campaigns click the Hide undelivered campaign toggle on the top right hand side of the reporting dashboard. The row will still show relevant ad and product group information including campaign name and goals but metrics such as impressions, clicks, views will show up as zero. Campaigns will appear on the table once Pinner interact with the campaign.
You can customize the data shown in the graph and the reporting table by selecting and creating filters. You can also customize how metrics are calculated in the reporting table by creating custom columns.
Use the filters above the graph to change the date range, objective, status or conversion settings. To see data for specific campaigns, ad groups, ads or keywords, toggle between the tabs located between the graph and the table, then click the checkbox next to the one you want to view. Note: If you select a campaign, you’ll only see the ad groups and ads within that campaign as you switch between tabs.
Use existing graph filters to edit the information in your graph.
Create a graph filter to customize how performance is measured in your graph.
