Measurement and analytics
Campaign reporting
Campaign reporting provides advertisers with metrics available through the Amazon Ads console and Amazon DSP reporting. Find information on standard industry metrics such as impressions, clicks, and sales, as well as proprietary Amazon metrics such as new-to-brand, brand halo, and Subscribe & Save.
Benefits of campaign reporting
Our reporting and measurement solutions help all marketers—from small businesses to leading advertising agencies to established brands—accurately assess the impact of their campaigns and make it easy to plan, optimize, and gauge marketing strategies.
6 types of campaign reporting
Success metrics
Success metrics fall into two categories: industry standard (click through rate, return on ad spend, detail page view rate, etc.) and e-commerce goals, which are unique to Amazon (advertising cost of sale, Subscribe and Save, etc.).
New-to-brand metrics
New-to-brand metrics are generated from first-time customers of your brand and help you understand ad-attributed purchases.
Gross and invalid traffic
Gross and invalid traffic metrics enable reconciliation of Amazon DSP metrics with third-party metrics. Invalid traffic (IVT) metrics are nuanced and can be hard to interpret, so reconcile gross metrics before using IVT metrics to rule out measurement-related discrepancies.
Reach and frequency metrics
Reach and frequency metrics show the audience volume that was exposed to ads, as well as the quantity of exposures.
Viewability metrics
Viewability metrics include the percentage of total impressions served that are viewable.
Off-Amazon conversion metrics
Conversion metrics measure attributed ad impact off Amazon, such as on the advertiser’s website or through a measurement partner.
