What’s an Ads Manager in RedTrack?
Ads Manager tab in RedTrack provides information about where your traffic originates based on RT_roles that you can set up for all your tracking links. The idea behind the report is to have all the data across all Campaigns presented in a familiar layout for advertisers who are used to working with Facebook / Google Analytics reports.
Click here to check out the Ads Manager FAQQ: What’s the difference between the RedTrack Ads Manager and the Google Analytics Acquisition report / Facebook report?
A: As opposed to similar reports in Google Analytics and Facebook, RedTrack Ads Manager:
- shows costs for all ad campaigns, not just Google Ads
- provides customers with a detailed report on the referral traffic etc.
Q: Do I need to assign roles first to see the whole picture by tabs RT CAMPAIGN/RT GROUP/RT AD?
A: This rule applies only to the clients who’ve already been with RedTrack for a long time now and already added (therefore, utilized) some Traffic sources. For the new clients and old ones who’ve added a particular Traffic channel after the Ads Manager feature has been introduced, the roles will be adjusted automatically.
