Creating New Reports
Creating new reports will allow us to maximize the insights available by adapting to changes in the account (i.e. started using influencers, launched new products, etc.) or onboarding new clients.
There are 2 methods to create new reports:
A. Duplicate Existing reports (leverages existing criteria):
Find a similar report to the one you want to build
Click the 3 dots next to the report
Choose to duplicate within the workspace (Duplicate Report) or to a different one (Duplicate To...)
B. Start from scratch:
Go to new reports
Select between top performing and comparative analysis

Duplicate to

Updating Naming Conventions
Naming conventions vary from account to account (eg. stage of funnel, products, concepts, etc.) and will need to be updated accordingly.
There's 2 types of reports:
Top Performing
Focuses on the exact creative
Can automatically group information based on ad name, creative, copy, headline, & LPs
Less dependent on naming conventions
Comparative Analysis
Focuses on general trends across the account, regardless of the exact creative
Can leverage naming conventions to build a number of groups
More dependent on naming conventions
How do I update naming conventions?
For top performing reports:
Go to the report you need to update
Click on an existing global filter (Will pop up 3-7)
Choose between campaign name, ad set name, ad name, Ad Type.
Choose between contains / does not contain
Type Keyword
(Optional) Add an “OR” statement (eg. Acquisition)
Apply
(Optional) Add another filter (eg. ads shown will be Prospecting AND Video)
(Optional) If filter is Ad Type, you will see a menu like 9 to choose from
For comparative analysis reports:
Go to the report you need to update
Change name of group 1
Expand on group filters
Update the 3 elements to your needs (similar to steps 2-7 from previous slide)
Apply
Repeat as needed for every group
Can also update global report filters like we did in previous slide
Updating Filters
Naming conventions will differ between accounts. Updating filters will help make those final adjustments after creating or duplicating reports, for it to reflect the new account's naming conventions.
How do I update filters?
Go to "Filter ads where..."
Select from any of the 6 options (Campaign, Ad Set, Ad Name, Ad Delivery, Ad Spend, Ad Type)
