PPC Dashboard Template

Impressions are the total number of times any of your webpages or your ads appear in search engine results and are viewed by users.

You can measure ad impressions through Adriel’s marketing dashboard across multiple ad channels, creatives, keywords, and audiences.

Link clicks are the total number of times the links in your ad copy, call-to-action, or images have been clicked.

These links can lead to destinations within or outside of the platform where you’ve launched your ad, such as your landing page, social media profile, or a blog post. This is also a key metric for SEO.

Click-through rates measure the number of clicks you receive on an advertisement—per the number of impressions.

Generally, high CTRs mean that your ads were successful in attracting the attention of your target audience. High CTRs can also lead to lower advertising costs on advertising platforms like Google Ads. This article lists the average CTRs for all your favorite PPC channels.

Cost-per-click (CPC), similar to pay-per-click, is a popular programmatic advertising term where you pay an ad seller a cost every time someone clicks on an ad.

Different social media platforms, search engines, and programmatic publishers set different CPCs. They can range anywhere from $0.4 (Twitter Ads) to $6 (LinkedIn Ads). Get the average CPCs for your industry here.

Cost-per-mile (CPM) is the amount you pay for every 1000 impressions that your ad garnered. The CPM on different ad channels depends on a number of factors, such as the target audience, ad format, and the level of competition for ad space.

Everything comes with a cost, even conversions. Cost-per-conversion, or also known as cost-per-acquisition (CPA) pits the total revenue gained from an ad campaign against the total cost of that campaign.

CPCV is one of the easiest and most effective ways to determine if your ads are working. If your CPCV is too high, it could mean you have the wrong keywords, visuals, target audience, or channel. This is why it’s important to have a PPC reporting tool that lets you see super granular data as well as essential KPIs.

Revenue is the most rudimentary metric you can track on your report, but it helps you and your clients understand which campaigns or channels are bringing in money and which are draining your wallet. When you have this data, you can devise well-informed strategies in the future.

On Adriel’s PPC dashboard, you can view the total revenue for your ad campaigns across multiple digital channels, from LinkedIn Ads and Bing Ads to Walmart Connect.

Conversion rates (CVR) measure how many people took this desired action out of the total number of website visitors. Discover average CVRs by industry here.

Conversions are easier explained than measured, as they involve multiple circular paths from impressions to clicks to action on different marketing channels. But a PPC reporting dashboard reduces the hassle of having to go into each marketing channel and manually looking at each metric to arrive at conversions data.

When you pit revenue against ad spend, you get return on ad spend. ROAS measures the amount of revenue you earn for every $1 you spend on advertising. Find out what is regarded as a good ROAS ratio here.

Keeping track of your return on investment can be overwhelming when you have multiple campaigns running across different channels. Delegate the task to a reliable marketing dashboard but opt for one that comes with push notifications so that you don’t have to check back every ten seconds for potential fluctuations.
