PPC Report Templates for Marketers and Agencies

You should never launch a PPC campaign without first preparing reports that will show the true efficiency of your investment. Smart marketers prepare report templates before they even prepare advertising campaigns. All other marketers experience more or less painful budget drains and then prepare reports anyways.

In this article, you’ll get a set of ready-to-use PPC templates that you can incorporate into your current reporting or use them to set up your reporting from scratch. You can use these reports for analyzing PPC campaigns, controlling the cost per conversion, optimizing budgets, managing advertising campaigns, and making business decisions.

They’re suitable for agencies launching PPC advertising for lots of clients and for paid search specialists working in the marketing department who need more than simple Google Ads report templates. Compared with building reporting from zero or manually working with PPC spreadsheet, using templates has some virtues you can’t ignore.

As the quality of any report depends on the quality of the data on which it’s built, we strongly recommend you use a specialized tool like OWOX BI for collecting and blending your data. With OWOX BI Pipeline, you can collect any type of marketing data for reports of any complexity in one safe data store (such as Google BigQuery) without the help of developers or data specialists.

We automatically merged all necessary data into a single storage with the help of OWOX BI and now we are ready to share some PPC templates based on this data.

1. The first benefit of using PPC report templates is that they’re literally ready to go.

Someone has already thought about everything you might need. Just check if the set of graphs and tables is suitable for your needs, check the sources used in the report (and check if all PPC data you need is available), and use the report in a familiar interface. You can implement and test templates quickly, and you can stop using them if they don’t suit your needs. Reports you build from zero in endless PPC spreadsheet can’t be rejected so easily, whether they’re good or bad.

2. The next benefit is the possibility to personalize or deconstruct any pre-made report.

While your PPC reporting may be as unique as your fingerprints, you can find lots of ideas for your custom PPC reports while reviewing ready templates. The best reports are always compilations of other successful reports.

3. The last benefit is the simplicity of use and the mass popularity of reporting platforms.

With the help of platforms, you can easily share, edit, access, and explain any template and how it works with your data. You don’t have to be a Swiss Army Knife marketer to work with tools such as Data Studio and OWOX BI Smart Data. More sophisticated tools, on the other hand, have a higher barrier for entry in terms of data manipulation skills.

If any of these benefits are attractive to you, save your time and get straight to the best PPC reports!
