Account, campaign, and ad group performance

30/11/2019

Google Ads is organized into three layers (levels): account, campaigns, and ad groups. By familiarizing yourself with the different levels of your Google Ads account, you can easily find the exact performance data you're looking for.

Keeping the three levels in mind, you can customize your view of your performance data to make it as broad or specific as you want. To help you navigate, the side panel of your Google Ads account starts with the broadest level -- "All campaigns" -- and narrows in focus as it moves downward. After clicking on an individual campaign, you'll see the ad groups contained in each one.

Your account is associated with a unique email address, password, and billing information. For reporting purposes, though, it's helpful to think of your account as a collection of campaigns. If you want to see performance data for your entire account, click All campaigns in the side panel of your Google Ads account. Totals for all of the rows are listed at the bottom of your statistics table.

The Report Editor

The Report Editor is an analytical tool that allows you to engage with your data through multi-dimensional tables and charts.

  • A simple drag-and-drop interface lets you quickly build and manipulate multi-dimensional tables and charts, reducing the need to download your data for deeper analysis. 
  • Multi-segment analysis lets you slice and dice your data with finer granularity in your tables and charts.
  • Custom charts let you quickly visualize the patterns and trends in your data.
  • Advanced filtering and sorting allow you to filter on segmented metrics (e.g., mobile clicks) and sort by multiple columns.

See data for your entire account

Here's how to get a quick overview of your overall Google Ads performance:

  1. Sign in to your Google Ads account.
  2. Click the Campaigns tab.
  3. Click the Dimensions tab.
  4. Click the View button to select the time period that you'd like to use to organize your statistics.

Tip: Use the campaign type selector

You can use the campaign type selector to switch easily between reporting views by campaign type, like Shopping or Display Network. This option appears as a drop-down menu next to All campaigns in the side navigation menu if you have more than one campaign type in your account. You'll only be able to select a given campaign type if your account actually contains that type of campaign.

Your campaign data

An individual campaign has its own budget and settings that determine where your ads appear, and is made up of a collection of ad groups. Each of your campaigns is listed in the side panel of your Google Ads account, and they also appear when you click the Campaigns tab in the middle of your screen.

You can also see ad group data by clicking the Ad groups tab in the middle of your screen.

Example

Let's look at how a business might set up its Google Ads campaigns and ad groups. The account belongs to a chocolate maker (yum!) who wants to advertise its products to increase online sales.

The owners decide to organize their advertising efforts into two campaigns. One campaign promotes their new line of chocolate bars, and the second promotes their holiday gift boxes. They split each campaign into targeted, relevant ad groups. One of the ad groups for the chocolate bar campaign is dedicated to the company's popular raspberry bar. Another is dedicated to a caramel bar, and a third to a chocolate bar infused with ginger. Here's what this account looks like:

Account:
Chocolate Maker		  
Campaign 1:
Chocolate bars		 Campaign 2:
Valentine's Day gift boxes
Ad groups:
Raspberry bar
Caramel bar
Ginger bar		 Ad groups:
30% off gift boxes
Free shipping on gift boxes
Luxury Valentine's chocolate

Each ad group can have multiple ads within it. This helps the chocolate maker compare performance for different ad text, for example, and see whether one version resulted in more clicks or sales than another.

Once you're familiar with the structure of your Google Ads account, you can view and customize the data in your statistics table, and download reports to monitor the performance of your campaigns, individual campaigns, and ad groups -- as well as your ads and keywords.
