About product reporting in App campaigns

Product reporting in App campaigns allows you to access and review performance data of individual products from your linked Google Merchant Center feed.

This article explains the benefits of product-level reporting and how product reporting works in your App campaigns.

Benefits

  • Increased transparency: Have better visibility into performance data to help you gain insights into individual product performance metrics like impressions, clicks, and click-through rate (CTR).
  • Informed optimization: Use data on which products perform best to refine your advertising strategy and product selections in your feeds.
  • Uniformed reporting: Have a more consistent reporting experience when you also create Performance Max, Shopping, or Video campaigns.

How it works

You can access product reporting at the campaign or ad group level of your app campaigns in the “Products” tab. The statistics table in the “Products” tab allows you to view detailed performance metrics for individual products sourced from your linked Google Merchant Center feeds.

How to access the Products tab

  1. Go to Campaigns within the Campaigns menu.
  2. Select a specific App campaign or ad group.
  3. In the page menu on the left, select the Products drop down and then Products.
  4. Select the Products tab.
Note: The "Products" tab will automatically appear for any eligible App campaigns at the campaign or ad group level when a Google Merchant Center retail feed is linked.

Performance metrics and columns

You can view the following types of information in the product reporting table:

Metrics

  • Clicks: A click is attributed to a product only if there’s direct interaction with a product element in the ad. Clicks on the ad title, install button, or elsewhere aren’t counted in the “Products” tab.
  • Click-through rate (CTR): CTR is the ratio of how often people who view your ad end up clicking it. It’s calculated by dividing clicks by impressions.
  • Conversions: A conversion is an action used to measure the performance of your ad campaigns and optimize your bidding strategy.
  • Cost: Cost is a metric used to track the actual amount spent on your ads and calculate the return on investment for your campaigns.
  • Impressions: When your ad with products is served, all products in the ad are counted as an impression.

Columns

  • Clicks
  • Click-through rate (CTR)
  • Conversion
  • Cost
  • Impressions
  • Price
  • Product (Image and title)
  • Product ID

Considerations around product reporting in App campaigns

  • Unsupported metrics: Avg. CPC, and other conversion-based metrics aren’t supported yet.
  • Account-level view: The report can’t be viewed at the account level. You must navigate to a specific campaign or ad group.

FAQs

Why can’t I find the “Products” tab for my App campaign?

There are a few reasons this could happen:
  • There’s no Google Merchant Center feed. Ensure a Google Merchant Center feed is linked to the campaign.
  • The “Products” tab can be accessed at the campaign or ad group level. Make sure you’re viewing a specific campaign or ad group, as this report isn’t available at the account level.

Why are the "Status", "Issues", and "Diagnostics" tabs missing? I can find them in my Shopping campaigns.

We don’t currently support all dimensions of shopping campaigns within the App's campaign tooling.

I removed or changed the Google Merchant Center feed linked to my campaign, why can't I view the products from the old feed in my report?

There are 2 reasons why you can’t view the products from your old feed in your report:
  • If you remove the Google Merchant Center feed linked to your campaign, you’ll no longer be able to view the product report.
  • If you change the Google Merchant Center feed linked to your campaign to a different Google Merchant Center feed, the products from the original feed will no longer appear in the report.

Can I access historical data after removing a Google Merchant Center feed?

If you anticipate that you might need access to historical data from your old feed, we recommend that you download a report before removing or changing the feed linked to your campaign. If the old feed is later re-attached to your campaign, historical data will also be restored.
