Ad Spend is the total money spent on advertising over a set period, which you can break down by campaign, ad set, or individual ad. It shows where your budget went, not whether the spending worked. Marketers use it to control budgets, report accurately, and judge performance alongside results such as conversions and revenue. Tracking it clearly helps you decide where to move budget and when to pause or scale a campaign.

Ad Unique Clicks is a count of the distinct people who clicked your digital ad at least once. Unlike Total Ad Clicks, which counts every click, Ad Unique Clicks counts each person once regardless of how many times they clicked.

Add-to-Cart Rate measures the share of sessions in which at least one product is added to a shopping cart. It shows how effectively your product pages and browse experiences move visitors toward purchase intent. Track it to spot friction on product detail pages, evaluate merchandising and offers, and compare buyer intent across channels, devices, and audiences.

Advertising Costs is the total amount a business spends to promote its products or services across all channels. This broad expense category typically includes online, broadcast, print, outdoor, and direct mail efforts. Tracking Advertising Costs helps marketing and finance teams understand the full cost of customer acquisition and brand building, and make informed decisions about budget allocation.

Ad unit exposure measures the total amount of time your ad was exposed to your target audience, usually measured in milliseconds.

Average Engagement Time is a user-centric metric in Google Analytics 4 that measures the average amount of time individual users spend actively engaged with your website or app. Unlike traditional session-based metrics, this focuses on user behaviour across all their interactions, providing a more holistic view of how deeply users connect with your content. The metric only counts time when users are genuinely engaged, defined as sessions lasting 10 seconds or longer, containing conversion events, or having multiple page/screen views. This metric represents a significant shift from Universal Analytics' session-duration approach, offering a more accurate picture of meaningful user interaction by filtering out brief, low-quality visits that don't represent genuine engagement.

Average purchase revenue is a key business metric that quantifies the average value of each sales transaction over a specific period. It is a fundamental indicator of how much customers are spending per order. This metric is calculated by dividing the total revenue from all purchases by the total number of transactions. It offers valuable insights for business leaders, helping them assess customer spending behaviour, evaluate pricing and promotional strategies, and understand the overall financial health of their e-commerce operations. By tracking this metric, businesses can make data-driven decisions to optimize their revenue per customer.

Average Server Response Time is the average amount of time an application’s web server takes to return the results of a request to the user. It is affected by several factors including network bandwidth, number of users, and number and type of requests submitted.

Average Session Duration measures the average amount of time users spend per session on your website. It is calculated by dividing the total time spent across all sessions by the total number of sessions. This metric helps you understand overall engagement and whether users are consuming your content in a meaningful way.

Average Time on Page is a web analytics metric that measures the average time all users spend on a single page, excluding exit pages and bounces. Exit pages are the last pages in a session; bounces are single-page sessions. Because the metric excludes these, it reflects only engaged, multi-page visits.

Call-in Rate is the average number of inbound calls received per paid user of a product or service. It monitors changes in call volume, which can be an early warning sign of product or service issues and potential churn.

Campaign Clicks is a count of the total number of times users clicked on ads in a digital campaign. A campaign is a grouping of ads organized by a shared business objective.
