Advertising Analytics connecting clicks, cost, conversions, & classifications

WHAT IS IT?

The other half of the profit equation

Import search engine impressions, clicks, cost, position, and quality scores. Tie these traffic and spend metrics to site-side engagement and real-time conversions in Adobe Analytics. Know the exact efficiency of your advertising investment at any granularity with simple drag/drop workflows.

The transparent path to action

These actionable signals are shown in the context of fully automated classifications. Drill down through all the dimensions in your account structure to move beyond vague channel averages. Take advantage of the transparency at every step of the hierarchy. Get as granular as you like with the new reports for account, campaign, group, ad, keyword, and match type. Trace opportunities back to the specific setting that needs adjustment to turn unique insight into performance lift.

The simplest setup you have ever experienced

All of this is available with no additional implementation work by the client. Merely activate native integrations in the Adobe Marketing Cloud to connect your login credentials from Google AdWords, Bing Ads, Yahoo Gemini, Yahoo Japan, Yandex, or Baidu with Adobe Analytics. Adobe will then apply its tracking codes to the tracking templates in your destination URLs so you can get even more value out of the tags and pixels already on your site. No site code changes required.

FAQ

Does this apply to Adobe Analytics Standard or Premium?

Both! The use cases are already very powerful with Analytics Standard, but anomaly detection, contribution analysis, and audience identification in Analytics Premium becomes even more impactful when populated with Media Optimizer advertising context. Consulting solutions are also available to feed advertising data to Data Workbench.

Does this apply to display impressions or view-through conversions?

Although the bi-directional integration of Media Optimizer has been reliably connecting search data with Analytics for years, Adobe is eager to provide even more value. That is why we recently announced our beta for also including display impressions and view-through conversions bought through the Media Optimizer DSP. Contact your account executive for the latest details on the display beta and timing for the full release coming soon.

Does this apply to Adobe's integration with DoubleClick?

Not yet. For Adobe Analytics Standard clients, the Exchange data connector and core service is the primary method to feed in impressions, clicks, and view-through conversions from DoubleClick. For Adobe Analytics Premium clients, Data Workbench Unified Customer Processing is an even more advanced method to feed in that data. Next year, exciting announcements will be made about options to connect that type of data through the Adobe Marketing Cloud Data Platform.
