Metrics are units or measure indicators used to evaluate the efficiency of web marketing campaigns.
Each platform has its own metrics but some of them are common to most of the platforms, like clicks , impressions , conversions or revenue .
For each source in the data Sources list, Adloop team has selected the most relevant metrics:
Some are imported by default ( default Metrics ) - you can’t remove them
Some are optional and you can select the ones you want to have in Adloop and ignore the others ( other Metrics ).
Facebook Ads example:
Metrics always have a logo in front of their name, so you can identify the data source they are coming from. Google Ads metrics will have a logo in front of them, those from Facebook Ads a and so on.
Some metrics are common to all sources: the normalized metrics in Adloop. They have a logo in front of them.
Some metrics are common to most of the Ad platforms . So, instead of having to choose several times the same metric, we grouped them within the normalized metrics.
Example:
Google Ads impressions exist in Adloop under the dimension Impressions
Bing Ads impressions exist in Adloop under the dimension Impressions
Both are grouped under the normalized dimension Impressions
In a Report , you have Metrics from Google Ads and Bing Ads and you want to see the performances of both those channels. Instead of having two columns Impressions and Impressions , just use the normalized metric Impressions , you will only have one column.
Our normalized metrics in Adloop are:

Another exceptional feature offered by Adloop. Create an unlimited number of calculated metrics from all available metrics. The calculated metrics are - like other metrics - put in a category with a visibility criteria to choose.
To create/modify a metric nothing could be simpler: the interface is so intuitive and user-friendly with its formula editor that there is no need to give more explanations: there are + and -, * and / and ( ).
If you do percentages calculations, don't forget to divide by 100
Some precisions about the icons linked to the calculated metrics :
If the formula is only made up of metrics from advertising sources (Ad-Centric) : icon
If the formula is only made of analytics source metrics (Site-Centric) : icon

Metrics are categorized by the Adloop teams.
The default categories cannot be deleted but their names can be edited in the metrics management page. You can add as many categories of metrics as you want to organize the menus the way you want.
