Written by Eric Brackmann

The Reporting page helps you understand how your Sponsored Listings campaigns are performing. By combining dimensions, filters, and metrics, you can analyze performance, identify trends, and uncover opportunities to optimize your campaigns.

Access the Reporting page

  1. Click Reporting from the left-hand navigation.

  2. Select your time range and currency.

  3. Choose your dimensions and filters.

  4. Click Apply to load the report.

Build your report

Every report consists of three components:

  • Dimensions group your data by a specific attribute so you can compare performance.

  • Filters narrow the data shown without changing how it's grouped.

  • Metrics are the performance values measured in your report, such as impressions, clicks, bookings, or ROAS.

New to Reporting?

If you're not sure where to start, group your report by Hotel Name or Campaign Name, then review Spend, Bookings, Revenue, and ROAS. This provides a quick overview of which properties and campaigns are performing best.

Dimensions split your performance data by a specific variable. Select one from the Filters & Dimensions panel to group your report.
