Advanced | Measure Results

Use the Charts dashboard

Access the Apple Search Ads Advanced Charts dashboard for a deeper view into your campaign performance. You can view by country and region, date, ad groups, or keywords and plot a variety of metrics:

Spend
Taps
Installs
TTR (tap-through rate)
Average CPA (cost-per-acquisition)
Average CPT (cost-per-tap)
Impressions

You can also filter data by device. Like with Campaigns dashboard reporting, the default time period is set for the past seven days, excluding the current day.

The chart you see on the page will automatically change according to the parameters you select. Use the menu above it to select your metric options, and choose which type of report from the navigation on the left.

How to find Charts

To get to the Charts dashboard:

Sign in to your account.
Select the campaign you want to view from your Campaigns dashboard.
From the Ad Groups dashboard, click the Charts dashboard.
Choose how you want to view and filter your report.

Note that if you’re selecting more than 30 days of data, your report can be viewed only on a weekly basis.

How to read Charts

1) Chart view

The chart view at the top of the Charts dashboard gives you a snapshot of your performance metrics by date. You can filter your view and compare metrics for a deeper dive into your campaign data. Note: The date view is the only one that allows you to select multiple metrics.

Filter options will appear in the top left corner of the charts and once applied, will persist until you remove or change them. When you adjust the filters you’ll see a new visual immediately.

2) Table view

A table combines the totals for each group within your chosen view, according to the filter and metric you’ve selected. Your available filters depend on your view.

Note that metrics are reported in your account’s time zone. To review metrics in the same time zone as your billing transaction history, select UTC in the time zone menu in the footer. Your chosen date range may change slightly to reflect UTC time differences. The search terms, age, gender, and location reports are not viewable in UTC.

How to change the date range of your performance view

Go to the menu on the right side of the page. There, you can chose from date ranges including Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, This Week, Last Week, Last 30 Days, Last 4 Weeks, Last 12 Weeks, This Month, Last Month, and a Custom Range.

Additional Charts dashboard variables

Gender, Age, and Location “User Withheld”

If you didn’t apply audience refinements within your ad group or campaign, a category titled “User Withheld” may appear beneath the age, gender, or location sections in your reporting view. This reflects that some users who saw your ad had enabled Limit Ad Tracking or disabled location services on their device.

Age-range reporting

When viewing your reports by age, metrics are grouped into the following preset age groups: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+. This means that you may see impression results that appear to be for a wider age range than you selected. However, we target only the ages you specify within each group. For instance, if you select 18 to 38, your reporting shows impressions in the ranges 18-24, 25-34 and 35‑44.

“Low Volume” indicator

Some charts may return a value of “Low Volume.” This means the data you’re requesting is below Apple’s privacy threshold. For example, search terms must reach at least 10 impressions, otherwise the “low volume” value will appear in your search term chart. Age, gender, or location reports require at least 100 impressions before Apple Search Ads can show any values.
