How is ad performance measured?

Ad performance is measured using a combination of platform-native metrics from Meta Ads Manager or LinkedIn Campaign Manager and conversion data from Google Analytics 4 and CRM attribution. Platform metrics measure the ad’s efficiency in reaching and engaging the target audience; GA4 and CRM data measure whether that reach translates into business outcomes.

Core ad performance metrics:
– Impressions and reach: Volume of exposure
– Click-through rate (CTR): Percentage of viewers who clicked
– Cost-per-click (CPC): Efficiency of driving traffic
– Cost-per-lead (CPL): Efficiency of lead acquisition
– Conversion rate: Percentage of clicks that completed the goal
– Return on ad spend (ROAS): Revenue generated per unit of ad spend
– Relevance or Quality Score: Platform’s assessment of ad relevance to the target audience
