Summary

After running a Shopping campaign, you can use reports to measure the performance of an account, campaign, or ad group.

Reports have metrics like total clicks, click-through rate (CTR), and total conversions(purchases). Analyzing reports can help you make improvements to your campaigns.

You can view report data directly in the following UIs:

• Merchant Center
• Google Ads
• Analytics

You can use the Report Editor to construct your own report and schedule report downloads in the Google Ads UI .

You can also view reports with the Google Ads API . For more detail on how the UI reports relate to the API reports, see Reports in the UI .

Automatic steps

You can use the Google Ads API to view performance data for all Google Ads resources. This includes everything from an entire campaign to a set of keywords that triggered your ad.

Here are the steps to construct a report with the Google Ads API (we strongly recommend using our code sample ):

1. Make sure you already ran a Shopping campaign.

   For metrics like Conversions, it may take longer to see the results of certain types of conversions .

2. Use the Google Ads Query Language to construct a query.

3. Pass the query to the GoogleAdsService.SearchStream interface.
