Reach report data represents the number of unique visitors exposed to different advertisers, orders, line items, or ad units in your Google Ad Manager network over a given time period. Reach reports don’t include impressions from Ad Exchange or AdSense, and only show data about your reservation traffic.

and select Reach. Then, click Done.Breakdown reach data by time period and dimensions
There are several ways to arrange the data in your Reach reports by changing the time period of the report and selecting different dimensions.
Weekly
View reporting data for the selected full calendar week (within the last 93 days). This option is available at the advertiser, ad unit, order, line item, or entire network level. A calendar week is the period spanning from Sunday to Saturday. If you select a different time period that spans multiple calendar week boundaries, the resulting report automatically shifts the start and end dates to match those of the closest calendar week.
You must select a combination of the following compatible dimensions:
- Required: "Week"
- Must select at least one: "Order," "Line item," "Ad unit"
Monthly
View reporting data for the selected full calendar month (within the last 93 days). This option is available at the advertiser, ad unit, order, or line item level. This breakdown is the default setting for advertiser and ad unit reports.
You must select a combination of the following compatible dimensions:
- Required: "Month and year"
- Must select at least one: "Order," "Line item," "Ad unit"
Last 93 days
View reporting data for the 93 days prior to the day the report runs. Instead of using aggregated weekly or monthly data, as in the example below, the "Last 93 days" date range uses a single continuous sample set to calculate reach.
You must select a combination of the following compatible dimensions:
- Must select at least one: "Order," "Line item"
Data availability timeline
Reach report data is generated for all networks at the end of each day, according to the US/Pacific time zone. However, it may take up to 3 days for data to be available in Ad Manager. Data for an entire week (Sunday through Saturday) will become available by the end of the following Monday (US/Eastern time zone).
To ensure your reports contain the best results:
- Choose an end date for your Reach report that's at least 3 days in the past.
- Schedule monthly Reach reports on the fourth day of each month to ensure it contains a full data set.
- Select start and end dates for your report that are within the last 93 days.
How Google calculates reach
Previously, Ad Manager relied on cookies to calculate reach. However, now reach is calculated using aggregate data from across various devices. Due to this change in calculation, data appearing in your new Reach report can’t be compared to data from your previous report or your Historical report because of significant differences in the way data is displayed.
Even if no new impressions are generated, reach steadily increases. For extended campaigns, line items, or queries, the actual rate of increase may slow down over time.
Supported countries
Reach reports can be used to analyze data generated by campaigns targeting supported countries.
