TikTok Ads report building guide

Prev Next

Use the TikTok Ads connector to learn which ads are driving the most engagement to your TikTok account or traffic to your site. Compare your TikTok Ads data to other advertising platforms to stay on top of key social media advertising metrics across channels.

The TikTok Ads connector fetches all main advertising metrics — impressions, clicks, CTR, cost, CPC, CPM, reach, conversions, conversion rates, CPA, and more. You can split the data by campaign, ad group, ad, or by time, and the connector supports hourly granularity. It also fetches detailed conversion data for in-app and page events, and supports splitting results by targeting demographics such as location, language, age, gender, device, and interest.

Note

Only campaigns using auction as the buying type are supported. Reservation ads are not supported.
