Update (Feb 21, 2019): clarified wording of the Clicks impact.
On
February 27, 2019, the data returned in the
Clicks metric for
Showcase ads will change in order to more accurately show you the interactions with products via Showcase ads in reporting.
In the
AdWords API and the
Google Ads API, the
Clicks metric (
clicks for Google Ads API) will change for the
Shopping Performance Report and the
Product Partition Report (
product_group_view for Google Ads API) as follows:
- Current reporting:
Clicks only include charged clicks.
- New reporting:
Clicks will report all clicks, including free clicks. As a result, you may see a change in the number of reported clicks.
If you have questions, please reach out to us on the
forum.
