Google Ads Dashboard

Why You Need A Google Ads Dashboard

Our dashboard contains data directly sourced from Google Ads (formerly known as Google Adwords) and provides data visualizations designed to monitor performance, spend, and help identify optimization opportunities.

A Google Ads dashboard also saves agencies hundreds of hours of manual labor as it is automatically updated through an API to provide you and your clients with up-to-date data. Google Ads dashboards enable marketing agencies to reduce the time they spend on reporting and to provide clients with immediate answers and actionable insights.

If you want to use our dashboard template, all you need to do is integrate your Google Ads account in a few clicks. Also if you'd prefer to report to clients on a scheduled basis, you can use our PPC reporting template.

What's Included in Our Google Ads Dashboard Template

1. Impressions

Impressions are how many times a Google Ads paid search ad has been seen among search results. For campaigns designed to increase awareness, this metric can be important as it’s an indication of interest in search terms related to the brand.

Impression volume can also provide insight into search volume trends. It's a good gauge to monitor how many eyes have seen your ads.

2. Clicks

A click is recorded when a user clicks on a link in an ad. Clicks can be on the header of a paid search ad, or any of the extensions Google Ads supports such as location or featured products.

It’s an essential metric to monitor campaign performance, as a click is often a signal a user is interested enough to learn more about the product or service.

3. CPC (Cost Per Click)

CPC (cost per click) how much it charged on average for a click on a Google Ad. This metric often changes daily due to Google’s real-time bidding algorithm and so it’s best not to compare it week-over-week in a dashboard. The lower the cost, the more efficient your ad is at attracting website visitors, and the more of your audience you can reach within budget.

4. Conversions

Google Ads can report on several conversion events and should be the main target of any campaign. This includes calls from mobile ads, purchases, and Google Analytics custom goals. Conversions can be seen at the ad or keyword level in addition to at the campaign level, and allow you to track the real impact of marketing dollars.

Tracking conversions makes it easy to track and report on the ROI (return on investment) of campaigns which makes it easy to prove the value of Google Ads.

5. Conversion Rate

As many paid search campaigns exist to drive consumer action, their effectiveness is an important KPI. Conversion rate shows the rate that clicks lead to conversions.

A Google Ads conversion rate can be calculated for various conversion metrics, and for purchase driven campaigns is often the main KPI. In a dashboard, the conversion rate can be broken into several granularities, including individual ads, ad group and more.

6. Top Performing Keywords

Metrics such as conversions, cost, CPC, and CTR (click-through rate) can be viewed by the Google Ads keywords level. Data at this granularity can help agencies identify trends and insights into customer desires, guiding optimizations and/or the creation of new ads.

Top performing keywords are a frequent client ask, and including them in a Google Ads dashboard allows you to anticipate questions.
