Time period splits

For performance reports, you can split your data by time period:

  • Date — One row per day (default)

  • Day of week — Aggregated by day of the week

  • Week — One row per week

  • Month — One row per month

  • Quarter — One row per quarter

  • Year — One row per year

You can select multiple time period splits at once. Structural reports (Accounts, Campaigns, Ad groups, Ads) and Custom GAQL don't support time period splits.

Common report combinations

Here are some useful report choices depending on what you're tracking:

  • Campaign ROI tracking — Campaign performance report, split by Date, to track daily spend, conversions, and cost per conversion

  • Keyword optimization — Keywords performance report to find high-cost, low-converting keywords to pause or adjust

  • Audience insights — Age range + Gender performance reports to understand which demographics convert best

  • Geographic targeting — Geographic performance by country or region to optimize location bid adjustments

  • Search term analysis — Search query performance report to discover new keyword opportunities and negative keyword candidates

  • Shopping optimization — Shopping performance report to track product-level ROAS and identify top sellers

  • Landing page analysis — Landing page report to see which destination URLs drive the best conversion rates

Use cases by role

  • PPC managers — Track campaign and keyword performance daily, identify wasted spend, and optimize bids. Use search query reports to discover new keyword opportunities and add negative keywords.

  • Finance teams — Monitor ad spend across accounts, reconcile advertising costs with budget allocations, and export data to spreadsheets for financial reporting.

  • E-commerce managers — Analyze Shopping campaign performance at the product level, track ROAS, and correlate ad spend with revenue data from other sources.

  • Business owners — Get high-level dashboards combining spend, clicks, and conversions across all campaigns without needing to navigate the Google Ads interface.

  • Agencies — Pull data from multiple client accounts into a single destination for cross-account comparison and consolidated client reporting.

Platform-specific notes

  • Data latency — Google Ads data is typically available within a few hours. However, conversion data may take up to 24 hours to finalize due to attribution processing. For reliable reporting, use yesterday's date as your end date.

  • Conversion attribution — Google Ads attributes conversions based on the ad interaction date, not the conversion date. This means conversions may appear on earlier dates as attribution completes. Numbers for recent dates may change over time.

  • Account-level access only — You can only pull data from ad accounts your Google account has access to. Manager (MCC) account access does not automatically grant access to all sub-accounts.

  • Custom GAQL — For advanced users, the Custom GAQL report type lets you write queries using Google Ads Query Languagearrow-up-right. This gives you full flexibility to pull any combination of fields the Google Ads API supports.

  • Deprecated report types — Placeholder and Placeholder feed item reports are deprecated as Google has replaced Feeds with Assets. These report types are still available but may be removed in a future update.

  • Custom columns not supported — Custom columns created inside the Google Ads UI are not part of the Google Ads API. They cannot be retrieved in any report type. If you rely on custom columns, recreate the logic using Coupler.io formula columns or in your destination tool.

  • Weekly split = Monday–Sunday — When you split data by Week, Google Ads always uses Monday as the week start, regardless of the date range you set. This is defined by the Google Ads API.

  • Aggregate vs. named conversions — The Campaign performance report shows total conversions and conversion values across all conversion actions. To break down by individual conversion action (e.g., purchases, sign-ups, add-to-cart), use the Campaign performance with conversion actions name report type instead.

  • Impression Share metrics are not summable — Search Impression Share, Search Lost IS (Rank), and Search Lost IS (Budget) are daily ratio metrics. Summing or averaging them across dates produces incorrect results. To get accurate aggregated values, calculate eligible impressions first: Eligible impressions = impressions / search_impression_share, then re-aggregate.

  • Performance Max campaigns — PMax campaigns don't have traditional ads or ad groups — they use asset groups. Queries targeting ad-group or ad-level data won't return PMax results. Use the Asset group performance or Campaign performance report instead.

  • Cost in micros (Custom GAQL) — When pulling cost data via Custom GAQL, the API returns cost_micros. Divide by 1,000,000 to get the actual currency value.
