Advertiser Level Metrics


Under the ‘Advertiser’ tab you will see a list of all of the ‘Active’ Advertisers in your seat with their associated quick metrics. To see ‘Inactive’ Advertisers filter status to ‘All’ or ‘Inactive’.

Optimization Breakdowns

The platform outlines all optimizations made, including all of the details that the AI more heavily targets or stops targeting, the dates that each change is made, and the amount of your Line’s budget that is reallocated toward the change. Users can see exactly when optimizations were made, including budget reallocation and details about the exchanges, locations, sellers, and placements that the sub-line exclusively targets or block lists. Through this, we guarantee full transparency in addition to quality. These metrics are updated hourly with a 3 hour delay.
Under the ‘Advertiser’ tab each Line Item can be expanded to display the optimization breakdown by clicking the arrow on the far left next to the green or red box. 

Choose your ‘Reporting Interval’ and evaluate the following metrics for each optimization:

  • Opt Base: This is the starting point for the campaign.
  • % Budget: For each optimization made to the campaign a % of the budget will be shown that is allocated to this change.
  • N_N_N_N:
    • N1 is Geo: Specific region this campaign targets (State/Province)

    • N3 is Exchange: Which exchanges this optimization is looking to buy through
    • N4 is Placement: The placement ID of where the campaign will serve on the specific domain

Creative Metrics

By clicking on the name and opening the specific page for an Advertiser or Line Item you can see quick metrics for each Creative. Creatives with a red box are inactive and Creatives with a green check-mark are active. By evaluating metrics at the Creative level, you can make decisions and optimize your campaign to serve the Creatives with the best performance. For example, if one Creative accounts for 70% of impressions, but only 10% of clicks, overall campaign performance may improve if you remove this Creative. These metrics are useful for A/B testing of different Creatives and provide valuable insight into the effectiveness of a Creative. These metrics are updated hourly with a 3 hour delay.

Choose your ‘Reporting Interval’ and evaluate the following metrics at a glance:

  • Audit Status: The audit status of each Creative will be displayed with a symbol. Hovering over this symbol will display a text box with additional details as to the status of this Creative, a yellow triangle for ‘audit pending’, a green check box for ‘passed audit’, a green triangle for ‘marked as sensitive’ and a red box for ‘rejected’. For more info on the audit process see here: Creative Audit.
  • Total Imps: The impressions this Creative has served during the selected Reporting Interval.
  • Total Spend: The dollar amount spent to serve this Creative during the selected Reporting Interval.
  • Total Clicks: The number of clicks this Creative has received during the selected Reporting Interval.
  • Total PcConvs: The number of post-click conversions this Creative has driven during the selected Reporting Interval.
  • Total PvConvs: The number of post-click conversions this Creative has driven during the selected Reporting Interval.

Standard Conversion Pixel Metrics

By opening the specific page for an Advertiser or Line Item you can see quick metrics for your Conversion pixels. These metrics are updated hourly with a 3 hour delay.

Choose your ‘Reporting Interval’ and evaluate the following metrics at a glance:

  • Trigger Type: Depending on how the pixel was configured this will display whether this pixel is triggered by a view, a click or a hybrid of both.
  • Total Loads: The number of times the pixel has been triggered in the selected Reporting Interval, this includes conversions that were not driven by Pontiac.

IP Conversion Pixel Metrics

At the Advertiser level, IP Conversion metrics will include conversions from ALL Line Items under this Advertiser, even if the pixel was not associated to the Line. If the pixel is associated to a Line Item, you can see metrics for that Line Item by opening the Line. Detailed reporting can be pulled in the Reporting tab under Custom Reports.

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.

Choose your ‘Reporting Interval’ and evaluate the following metrics at a glance:

  • Attributed Impressions: The number of impressions served by Pontiac campaigns to users that then converted.
  • Total Convs: The number of conversions, or unique actions that were driven by this campaign. A conversion event will be defined according to the pixel placement. For example, if the pixel is placed on all web pages, a conversion event would equal a page visit. If the pixel is placed on the ‘Thank you’ page after a purchase, then a conversion event would equal a purchase.
  • Total Loads: Total Loads will indicate the number of times the pixel has fired on the page, this is the number of users (not only those driven by Pontiac) that have visited the page in the selected time interval. If the pixel is showing 0 loads, this may indicate the pixel is not properly placed or firing correctly.
  • Uniques: The total number of unique visitors to the web page where the pixel is placed in the reporting interval selected.

To pull additional metrics or information from your IP Conversion Pixel, see here: IP Conversion Pixel Report

(NOTE: This will only be available for Creatives uploaded AFTER Jan 25, 2021)

Line Item Performance Metrics

Inside a Line Item, under the ‘Performance’ dropdown, you can see detailed metrics for the Line Item broken out by date.
