Meta Ads Overview

This page is designed to give you a focused analysis of your Meta Ads campaigns, helping you optimise your ad spend and improve your return on investment.

Scorecards for Key Metrics

KPI Tracking

The Meta Ads Overview starts with scorecards that display key performance indicators (KPIs) for your Meta Ads campaigns. These scorecards follow a similar structure to other pages on the StoreHero platform, making them easy to navigate and understand.

Date Range Adjustment

You can easily adjust the date range to view metrics for a specific period and compare them against previous periods. This flexibility allows you to track performance trends over time.

Starring and Expanding Metrics

Each scorecard can be starred, which adds the metric to the Saved Metrics section on your dashboard for easy access. Additionally, you can expand any metric to view a full-screen breakdown of its performance on a day-by-day basis.

Additional Metrics

The metrics section includes a dropdown menu where you can explore and add other valuable metrics to your view, ensuring you have all the data you need.
​

Performance Charts

Spend and Conversion Analysis

Below the scorecards, you’ll find a chart that allows you to track spend, cost per conversion, cost per acquisition, and return on ad spend (ROAS). This chart also lets you compare these metrics against previous periods, helping you pinpoint specific trends or anomalies.

"What's Working and What Could Be Improved" Section

This section is designed to help you quickly identify which metrics are performing well and which need attention. For instance, if your cost per click has decreased by 25%, this might be highlighted as a positive trend. Conversely, if your ROAS has decreased by 46% month-to-date, this section will not only flag the issue but also provide suggestions for improvement.
​

Performance Table

Detailed Campaign Analysis

The performance table gives you a granular view of your Meta Ads performance, similar to the ads overview but focused specifically on Meta Ads. You can split the data by campaign or ad group, apply filters, and search for specific campaigns or ad groups by name.

Custom Filters

These features allow you to dig deeper into the performance of individual campaigns or ad groups, making it easier to identify which elements are driving results and which might need adjustment.
​

Clicks by Placement

Placement Insights

The overview includes a section that shows clicks by placement, which can be particularly useful for understanding how Meta's automated placement decisions (such as Advantage Plus or automatic placements) are impacting your campaign performance.

Creative Adjustments

By analysing clicks by placement, you can determine if certain ad types or placements are performing better and consider adjusting your creatives accordingly to optimize for conversions.
