Tracking ad performance
Understand your ad metrics and optimize future campaigns.
Campaign dashboard
After your campaign launches, track performance from the Ads section. Metrics update as reporting data comes in from Meta.
Key metrics
-
Impressions - how many times your ad was shown
-
Clicks - how many people clicked through toward your music
-
Click-through rate - clicks divided by impressions, a read on how well the creative connects
-
Reach - unique people who saw your ad
-
Estimated streams - where available, an estimate based on click and listening signals
Reading the numbers
-
Compare your campaigns against each other rather than against fixed industry benchmarks. Your genre, market, and creative shape what "good" looks like for you.
-
A click-through rate that holds or climbs over the campaign means your creative is connecting with the audience.
-
A cost per click that falls over the campaign means Meta's delivery system is finding better-fit listeners.
-
Streams that continue after the campaign ends are a good sign, but they can come from many sources (playlists, sharing, profile visits), so don't attribute them to a single cause.
Optimizing future campaigns
-
Run longer campaigns (21 to 28 days) to give Meta's delivery system time to optimize
-
Test different video creatives to find what resonates
-
Focus budget on countries where you see the best engagement
-
Run campaigns around releases when listener intent is highest
