Tracking ad performance
Understand your ad metrics and optimize future campaigns.
Campaign dashboard
After your campaign launches, track performance from the Smart Ads section. Metrics update in real-time.
Key metrics
- Impressions - how many times your ad was shown
- Link clicks - how many people clicked through to your Smart Link
- People reached - unique people who saw your ad
- Estimated new streams - streams attributed to the campaign
- Cost per stream - your effective cost for each stream generated
What good looks like
- Cost per stream under $0.02 is strong
- Click-through rate above 1% means your creative is working
- If streams keep growing after the campaign ends, the algorithm picked up momentum
Optimizing future campaigns
- Run longer campaigns (21-28 days) to give the algorithm 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
