Metrics Glossary

Impressions

Number of times your ad was shown to users.

Clicks

Number of times users clicked on your ad.

CTR (Click-Through Rate)

Percentage of impressions that resulted in clicks. Formula: (Clicks / Impressions) × 100. Higher is generally better — indicates ad relevance.

CPC (Cost Per Click)

Average amount you pay each time someone clicks your ad. Formula: Total Spend / Clicks. Lower CPC means more efficient ad spend.

Conversions

Number of desired actions completed (e.g., form submissions, calls, purchases). Tracked via Google Ads conversion tracking.

Cost/Conv (Cost Per Conversion)

Average cost to acquire one conversion. Formula: Total Spend / Conversions. Lower is better — shows efficiency in generating leads or sales.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

Revenue generated per dollar spent on ads. Formula: Revenue / Ad Spend. Example: ROAS of 4.0x means $4 revenue for every $1 spent. Higher is better.

Budget

Daily and lifetime budget limits set for the campaign. Spend tracking shows how much has been spent vs. allocated.

How to Use Filters

When to Escalate

Escalate to Gilad if:

  • CTR drops below 1.0% and stays there for 3+ days
  • CPC increases by more than 50% in 7 days without a clear external reason
  • Conversions drop to zero for 3+ consecutive days on a live campaign
  • Budget is exhausted before the end of the planned period
  • ROAS drops below 2.0x (if revenue tracking is enabled)
  • Campaign status is "Paused" or "Closed" unexpectedly
  • You notice data anomalies (e.g., impressions but zero clicks for days)

Escalate to Ares (Backend Lead) if:

  • Data sync fails or appears stale (refresh doesn't update timestamps)
  • API errors appear in the console or UI
  • Conversion tracking looks broken (zero conversions on high-traffic campaigns)
