What is the difference between Orders, Conversions and Items Sold?

Each metric helps you track how well your ads generate sales on a different level:

1. Orders measures how many orders your ads generate
2. Conversions measures how many unique products are sold in each order your ads generate
3. Items Sold measures the quantity of products sold in each order your ads generate

For example, if a shopper clicks on your ad for product A, purchases 2 units of product A and 3 units of product B in a single order:

1. Orders = 1
2. Conversions = 2 
3. Unique products sold are product A and product B
4. Items Sold = 5 
5. A total of 2 units of product A and 3 units of product B

What is Average Ranking for Product Search Ads?

1. Average Ranking

Average Ranking refers to the average ad ranking amongst other ads for the chosen keyword in the search results page, not the average ranking amongst all search results. 

If your ad ranking is 8, your ad will appear at the 8th ad position from the top of the search results page, not at the 8th search result position. A smaller number ranking means that your ad will get better placement, closer to the top of the search results. For example, a ranking of 1 is better than a ranking of 2, 3 and so on. 

What are Product Impression, Clicks and CTR for Shop Search Ads?

1. Product Impressions

Product Impressions refer to the number of times products in your shop page are seen by logged-in shoppers after clicking your Shop Search Ad. 

For example, if a shopper clicks on your Shop Search Ad and scrolls down to see 10 products in your shop's page before they exit, you will have 10 Product Impressions. A higher Product Impression indicates that shoppers explore your shop more after clicking your Shop Search Ad. 

1. Product Clicks

Product Clicks refer to the number of times the products in your shop page are clicked by logged-in shoppers after clicking your Shop Search Ad. 

For example, if a shopper clicks on your Shop Search Ad, then clicks on 4 products in your shop page, you'll get 1 Click and 4 Product Clicks. As such, your Product Click count may be higher than your Click count, as an interested shopper may click on multiple products after clicking once on your Shop Search Ad.

1. Product CTR

Product CTR measures the percentage of times shoppers click on your products upon seeing them in your shop page, after they click on your Shop Search Ad. 

1. Product CTR = Product Clicks ÷ Product Impressions
2. For example, if you have 100 Product Impressions and 20 Product Clicks, your Product CTR is 20%. High Product CTR indicates that the products on your shop page are attractive to shoppers.
