Metrics

View performance-related information such as revenue, click-through rate (CTR) and impressions.

Revenue shows you the daily revenue generated by an ad over the past 30 days. This chart offers valuable insights into an ad's performance, enabling you to understand the revenue it has accrued over the past 30 days.
Click-through rate (CTR) is the percentage of impressions that led to a click. This chart helps give you insight into an ad’s performance, but may not be the final figure reflected in your reporting.
Impressions shows you the number of impressions per day an ad has had over the past 30 days. You can use the chart to see if an ad has served recently, or if an ad has stopped serving altogether. Note that an ad that hasn't served recently could still show again (unless it's been blocked), but it's less likely the longer the ad doesn't show.

Advertiser

View information about the Google Ads account that owns the ad.
To block all ads from the Google Ads account, click Block account. All ads from the Google Ads account will now always be blocked. This applies to all targeting types.

Note: Blocking ads from a Google Ads account may have a negative impact on your revenue.

Video

This section only appears for video ads.
