Overview

Custom reporting allows you to select and customize all dimensions and metrics you wish to evaluate, providing an exportable CSV with Campaign data. You can choose Advertisers, Campaigns, Line Items, Dimensions, Metrics, and a Date Range to generate a report. All reports are created in UTC time zone.

Custom Report Types

  • Custom Report
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Path to Conversion
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Page Visits
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate
  • Log Level Reporting
  • Reach/Frequency Report

Report Availability

  • Reports remain downloadable in the platform for 30 days.
  • After expiration, reports must be rerun. Note that some data points may no longer be available.

Report Limitations

  • Maximum Rows: Custom Reports are limited to 10,000,000 rows, depending on the delivery method and report type selected.
  • Incomplete Data Warning: If a report exceeds this limit, a yellow caution symbol will appear next to the report name, indicating that the data is incomplete.

Custom Reporting Time Zone

The time zone for custom reports can be configured on each individual report. Note, metrics will only match billing if the report is pulled in UTC. Custom reports may not match the metrics shown in the platform if they are not pulled in the seat time zone.

User time zone will use the ‘user time zone offset’ from the bid request to adjust report metrics for each impression to the time zone where that impression was served. When the user’s time zone offset is not present in the bid request, it will be defaulted to UTC.

Seat Time Zone

The time zone for your account can be configured under the ‘Admin’ section of the platform in ‘Seat Settings’ under ‘Preferences’. This time zone setting will adjust the metrics in the advertiser tab (advertisers, campaign and line item metrics) as well as the reporting dashboard. Note: this does not apply to billing metrics in the account balance or the pacing and dayparts on campaigns or lines. All billing metrics and transactions are for account activity in UTC. Pacing and dayparting time zones can be configured on each campaign or line.

Note that all platform activity appears in the account balance and is billed in UTC time zone.

The ‘Conversion Rate Report’ helps track the effectiveness of your ads by analyzing conversion rates day over day. To calculate the conversion rate for each day, divide ‘Conversions’ by ‘Imps’.

The conversion metric in this report matches the UI metrics when the ‘Line’ dimension is included. When this dimension is selected, conversions are not de-duplicated across line items. For example, if a user sees ads from two Lines under the same Campaign and completes one purchase, this will count as a conversion for both Line Items, and the Campaign will show two conversions.

For unique conversions across an advertiser or campaign, you can run a custom ‘IP Conversion Rate’ report without selecting the ‘Line ID’ dimension. This report will show unique conversions on the selected date(s). For unique conversions across a campaign flight, run the ‘IP Path to Conversion Report’ and de-duplicate the hashed IP address across all dates.

Log Level Reporting

Overview

Log level reporting provides advertisers with detailed bid request data for purchased inventory, with IP addresses and IFAs encrypted for privacy. Reports are delivered daily in UTC for the previous day’s activity. The user time zone offset is included in these reports and can be utilized to adjust the report time zone if needed. To receive log level reports, you must have either an AWS or Google Cloud account and have a scheduled report configured for delivery to s3 or Google Storage.

Conversion Tracking

Pontiac IP Conversions

With the Pontiac pixel, a client can place this on their website and attribute online actions (browsing a page, loading the shopping cart, purchases) to CTV campaigns run through the Pontiac platform. Pontiac IP Conversion Pixels are a proprietary and privacy safe attribution solution that utilizes the user’s IP Address to track website traffic and online purchases driven by your campaigns.

To create a new pixel, enter the Pontiac platform and create or open an Advertiser. Once inside the Advertiser, click the ‘New Pixel’ button and enter a name for the pixel. Wait for 30-60 seconds for the pixel to generate, then click back on the name of the pixel to view the code. Both an image version and a script version of the pixel will generate. The format required may depend on the configuration of the website where the pixel will be placed. The pixel should be placed directly in the source code in the header or the body, then associate it to the Line Item where you wish to track conversions.

If you wish to track an action such as purchase, this pixel should be placed on the page the user will see once the transaction is completed, ie. the ‘Thank you’ page. If you want to register any website visit as a conversion (ie. a user that sees your CTV ad, then goes to your homepage), you can place the pixel in the header to fire on all pages, or one specific page you wish to measure.

IP conversion pixels have a standard lookback of 30 days in the metrics under the Advertiser. This means that the user must complete the desired action within 30 days of seeing the ad for it to count as a conversion. If you would like to pull reporting with a custom lookback window, this can be done in Custom Reporting using the IP Conversion Custom Report. You can select from ‘5’, ‘7’, ’15’ or ’30’ day as the lookback.

For metrics in the Advertiser and Campaign screens, a conversion will be attributed to each Line Item that contributed to the action. For example, if a user sees an ad from 2 lines under a campaign and then completes one purchase, this will be counted as a conversion attributed to both Line Items, appearing as 2 conversions on the Campaign when aggregated.

If you would like to see unique conversions under an advertiser or campaign, you can run a custom ‘IP Conversion Rate’ report without selecting the ‘Line ID’ dimension. These are uniques on the selected dates. For uniques across a campaign flight, run an ‘IP Path to Conversion Report’ and de-duplicate the hashed IP address across all dates.

Query String Parameters

Client IP is a parameter that can be used to pass the IP address seen by your website for the visitor when the pixel loads. This parameter should be used when the pixel is placed in a container or in any case where the IP that would be registered by the pixel would be inaccurate. For loads where Client IP is present, this will be used in attribution and reporting.

To track Order ID, Order Value, and Customer ID using this pixel, select the boxes for these values once the pixel has generated. This will add the parameters and placeholders for the values to the pixel. Work with your web developer to dynamically replace these placeholders with the intended values. These values can then be pulled in Custom Reporting to gather additional insight about conversions driven by your campaigns & optimize towards ROAS.

Google Privacy Sandbox: Chrome Conversions

Through integration with the Google Privacy Sandbox, Pontiac pixels can also be used to track cookieless conversions that occur in Chrome browsers for online video campaigns. To activate with the Google Privacy Sandbox, the advertiser in the Pontiac platform will need to be created with the website where conversions will be tracked in the ‘Advertiser Domain’ field. On the Pontiac pixel, check the ‘Track Chrome Conversions’ check box. This pixel should then be placed on the Advertiser’s website where the conversion event will take place. For example, this could be the ‘thank you’ page the user will land on after a purchase.

Overview

Foot Traffic Attribution is a conversion tracking feature powered by OnSpot, enabling advertisers to measure how many users were served an ad through Pontiac and then visited a tracked commercial location. This is achieved by leveraging Mobile Advertising IDs and GPS data from mobile devices.

How It Works

  • Mobile Attribution: OnSpot registers users who were served your ad and whose mobile device was later detected at the tracked location.
  • CTV Household Extension: For CTV campaigns, household extension technology links TVs, desktops, and laptops to mobile devices using IP addresses, allowing mobile GPS data to attribute visits from the same household.
  • Currently only available in the United States.
  • Each Line Item can track up to 200 locations.

Setup & Availability

  • Availability: Foot Traffic Reporting is currently available only in the United States.
  • Tracking Limits: Each Line Item can track up to 200 locations.
  • Setup in Pontiac:
    1. Enable Foot Traffic Attribution by checking the ‘Enable Foot Traffic’ box when setting up a Line Item.
    2. Under the ‘Foot Traffic Reporting’ section, click ‘Add Location’ to specify the locations to track.
      • See the following documentation for more detail on the methods of adding locations: Line Foot Traffic Reporting
      • Pricing: A $4.00 fee is added to CTV Line Items with Foot Traffic enabled.
  • Download Report:
    1. Navigate to the Reporting tab and open the Foot Traffic Studies section.
    2. Find the desired date and click the associated Download or Download All buttons to retrieve the report.
      • Foot Traffic Reports will generate daily with a 5 day delay. For example, if the report for visits that occurred on the 1/15 the report will generate on 1/20.

The following metrics are included in the report:

  • Date: The specific date for which the data is recorded.
  • Line ID: The unique identifier assigned to the Line.
  • Line Name: The name of the Line associated with the Campaign.
  • Campaign ID: The unique identifier assigned to the Campaign.
  • Campaign Name: The name of the Campaign associated with the Line.
  • Location ID: Unique identifier assigned to the Location.
  • Location Name: The name assigned to the Location.
  • Daily Visitors: The number of total visitors recorded at this location on the report’s date. This is used to indicate if the address entered is correct and tracking visitors. If 0 visitors are seen at this location, there may be an issue. Contact your Account Manager for more information or for assistance with locations displaying 0 visitors.
  • Attributed Visitors: The number of users who were served an ad from this Campaign and subsequently visited this location on the report’s date.
