Experience details

An experience is a promotional asset that includes visual and interactive content intended for distribution to a specific audience as part of a marketing campaign.

Select an experience (ad name) and view the performance metrics, text attributes, and placements associated with each ad. In the details view, you can analyze an experience’s metrics based on its ad placement and marketing efforts within a specified date range.

The details view includes a metrics overall ad click-through rate, cost per action, and spend—how much of the budget has been on the ad. Since ads can have multiple placements, such as a feed or a banner, you can see a breakdown of the same metrics for each ad placement. Use the left and right arrows under Performance by ad placement to cycle through the placement metrics.

A high click count indicates strong interest and engagement with the content, which may be effective and reaching the right audience.
