Ad Manager report dimensions
Below are all of the dimensions available in Ad Manager reports, along with information about applicable report types and dimension categories
. Filter the table with one or more keywords to search for dimensions.
Impression counting method
Impressions and viewability related metrics are only accredited for specific impression counting methods.
You can filter your report by:
- Impression counting method
Begin to render.
Methods other than "Begin to render" aren't MRC accredited for impressions and viewability based metrics.

Creative size (Deprecated)
Size of creative that served to the ad slot request. Creative size doesn't represent the actual size of a creative being served. This dimension represents the "Targeted Ad Unit Size" of the creative which is served. Since a Creative size can only be associated with filled impressions, this dimension is not compatible with the Unfilled impressions metric. When the Creative size dimension is included in a report, companion delivery that is otherwise rolled up under master delivery is surfaced, so you may see higher totals than expected. This dimension is deprecated. Use "Creative size (delivered)" instead. | |
Rendered creative size
The size of the ad slot where creatives are served from Ad Manager or Ad Exchange. This value may differ from the creative size reported in Ad Exchange. Possible values include:
Any other values show as "Unknown". Note: This dimension can't appear in the same report as the "Unfilled impressions" metric. They are incompatible. Ad Exchange impression numbers reported using this dimension may differ from the legacy "Creative Size" dimension due to how "Creative Size (delivered)" counts some Google Ads text ads. How this dimension differs from "Creative size":
| |
Creative type Type of creative that served to the ad slot request. Values include:
Audio ads: Many creative types include audio ads. To see a breakdown of audio ads, you can also include a size dimension. | |
Secure signal delivery (Beta)
Reports if secure signals were sent to the bidder who won the impression. Values include:
Secure signal sharing is a processor feature that lets publishers pass obfuscated signals (such as user IDs) to third-party bidders on RTB bid requests. Shows how including secure signals and sending them to bidders can impact metrics, such as Total impressions and Total CTR. Likely, the Bidder hasn't chosen to receive the signal(s) if you see a combination of:
| |
Impression counting method (Beta)
The method used for counting impressions. Possible values include:
Sometimes, there may be discrepancies or negative numbers when the impression counting method dimension is used. This can occur when a begin-to-render ping is received, but a downloaded ping is not received. | |

Line item type Type of line item associated to the Creative that served to the ad slot request. Reservation traffic for this dimension may return a dash (-) in reporting. The dash can indicate delivery via inventory sharing. | |
Master and companion creative
Type of creative that served when trafficked as a creative set.
For video master and companion creatives, master ads play within the video player; companion ads, usually display, serve to non-video ad slots in conjunction with the master. | |

Optimization types include: First Look, Optimized competition, Target CPM, or All Other Traffic. | |
Advertiser (classified) Name of the advertiser, as classified by Google, associated with a creative transacted through Ad Exchange and Exchange Bidding, including Programmatic Guaranteed and Preferred Deals. Classification is non-exhaustive. Some values may appear as "(Not applicable)" and this is expected behavior. When an advertiser uses creatives associated with different landing pages, Ad Manager won't be able to determine the specific creative that will serve in advance. Instead, Ad Manager will check the advertiser mappings for each landing page and randomly report the affiliated advertiser. | |
Brand (classified) Name of the brand, as classified by Google, associated with a creative transacted through Ad Exchange and Exchange Bidding, including Programmatic Guaranteed and Preferred Deals. Classification is non-exhaustive. Some values may appear as "(Not applicable)" and this is expected behavior. | |
Serving restriction
Shows performance distributed by serving restriction. If an ad call can be subject to multiple restrictions, only the first match from the order below will be reported. Reporting figures won't overlap.
Some ad requests may fall into multiple categories in this list. In these cases, the ad request is sorted into the first applicable category according to the order shown here. Policy restrictions are not included in the Serving restrictions dimension and should be reviewed in the Policy center. Available for date ranges starting on or after January 14, 2021.
| |
Creative technology Type of technology used to serve the creative. Possible values are "AMPHTML", "Standard HTML", "Custom HTML", "Video", or "Other". Data for this dimension is only available for campaigns that served after March 3, 2018. | |
Unified pricing rule
The unified pricing rule (UPR) used to set the price applied to programmatic demand.
Shows the best eligible UPR, which may not be the applied UPR or the rejection reason. Other factors or rules could cause a bid's rejection. "No pricing rule applied" may mean that the impression was unfilled, there was no matching unified pricing rule, or the auction candidate was ineligible for unified pricing rule filtering. (For example, Standard or Sponsorship line items).
Any price set applies to Open Auction and Private Auction traffic across Open Bidding and Ad Exchange that matches the targeting criteria, including First Look. Traffic from Ad Exchange and AdSense backfill is subject to the unified pricing floor.
When the floor is set using target CPM, Ad Manager attempts to achieve a target CPM across all inventory sources that are covered by the unified pricing rule. Therefore, if a unified pricing rule report is broken out granularly but doesn’t include rows for all covered inventory sources, you may see “Average eCPM” values that are below the rule’s target CPM. Learn more about activating CPM on unified pricing rules.
Note: In the above description, "price" or "pricing" refers to either target CPM or floor prices.
| |
Exchange third party company Name of the yield partner, as classified by Google. Classification is non-exhaustive. Some values may appear as "(Not applicable)" and this is expected behavior. | |
Yield partner tag
Name of a yield partner in a yield group, including the yield group name and "Ad source ID" value. Example: "MyYieldGroup-MyYieldPartner ID: 123456789".
For Ad Exchange, the value "Ad Exchange" is displayed. Note that metrics for the "Ad Exchange" yield partner tag are counted once for each applicable yield group Ad Exchange is part of. Only applies to Mediation; not Open Bidding. | |

| |
User identifier status (Deprecated)
Indicates whether a valid user advertising identifier (a third-party cookie or device ID) was present on a given ad request.
Possible values include:
Note: This dimension only reports values based on third-party IDs.
In comparison to "Third-party ID status," "User identifier status" first checks permissions, then ID presence. Because it checks permissions first it may have the value "restricted," even if no ID is present. This dimension was previously called "User cookie status." | |
Ad experiences
Type of Ad experiences used to serve the creative. Possible values are "Expanded ad (full screen)" or "(Not applicable)."
| |
Ad technology provider
The ad technology provider (ATP) associated with the bid. ATP reports only if a bid is rejected due to lack of vendor consent. Otherwise, this dimension shows "Not applicable."
Compatible only with "Bids" and "Average bid CPM" metrics. | |
Ad technology provider ID (Beta)
The ID of the ad technology provider (ATP) associated with the bid. Only appears in the exported version of a report.
| |
Ad technology provider domain
The domain of the ad technology provider (ATP) associated with the bid.
Compatible only with "Bids" and "Average bid CPM" metrics. | |
Buyer network
Identifies to publishers which buyers, including buyer networks that represent accounts (or "seats" on the exchange) owned by DSPs and ad networks, transacted on their inventory.
| |
Advertiser domain
Shows performance by advertiser URL. For example, Big Soda Pop Co. might map to a domain name of delicious.cola.com.
Provides more transparency into advertisers whose identities are not otherwise available. This dimension sometimes makes large-volume reports run more slowly.
Reports that use the “Advertiser domain” dimension will show 100% Ad Exchange Coverage for all rows except "(unknown)". For this reason, Ad Exchange Ad Requests and Ad Exchange Coverage should be disregarded for those rows. In some scenarios, such as RTB ads, the advertiser domain may be one of multiple submitted domains and we don't know the specific creative chosen to be served. In this case, the advertiser domain reported is one randomly chosen from the list of possible domains. "Not Applicable" indicates incompatibility with Ad server, AdSense, and Mediation demand channels. | |
Advertiser vertical
Shows performance by specific advertiser categories, such as Arts & Entertainment and Travel & Tourism. Helps understand performance across different advertiser segments.
The categories displayed are identical to the ones that publishers can block. When combined with dimensions such as "Buyer networks" and "Advertisers (classified)," this dimension can provide information to effectively allocate inventory and adjust pricing strategies to include high-value advertiser segments. Why do I see "Unknown" values?
A very small number of impressions can't be categorized. And in some instances, specific advertisers can't be mapped to an Advertiser vertical. This dimension is best used when combined with other data such as "Advertisers (classified)" and "Buyer network." Reports that use the "Advertiser vertical" dimension will show 100% Ad Exchange Coverage for all rows except "(unknown)". For this reason, Ad Exchange Ad Requests and Ad Exchange Coverage should be disregarded for those rows. "Not Applicable" indicates incompatibility with Ad server, AdSense, and Mediation demand channels. | |
Buying agency (Deprecated)
Shows performance by buying agency. Not all buyers pass the agency name. As a result, if we don’t show a name, we may display "(unknown)" or "(No agency)." Reports that use the "Buying agency" dimension will show 100% Ad Exchange Coverage for all rows except "(Unmatched ad requests)." For this reason, Ad Exchange Ad Requests and Ad Exchange Coverage should be disregarded for those rows. "Not Applicable" indicates incompatibility with Ad server, AdSense, and Mediation demand channels. | |

| |
Bidder

Applies to Ad Exchange and Open Bidding. Shows "(Not applicable)" for other demand channels. | |
Deal
Shows publishers the performance of Preferred Deals, Private Auction, and Programmatic Guaranteed (Standard and Sponsorship) broken out by a deal name.
Note: This dimension is called "Programmatic deal name" in the deprecated Reports tool. Shows "(Not applicable)" if no Preferred Deal, Private Auction, or Programmatic Guaranteed was involved. | |
Deal ID
Shows performance of Preferred Deals, Private Auction, and Programmatic Guaranteed (Standard and Sponsorship). The Deal ID is a system-generated number used to identify a deal between a buyer and a publisher. Shows "0" if no Preferred Deal, Private Auction, or Programmatic Guaranteed was involved.
Note: This dimension is called "Programmatic deal ID" in the deprecated Reports tool. Note: Some buyers may submit multiple bids at the same price for a single auction through different auction package deals, which aren't reported in Google Ad Manager. For these types of bidding, the Deal ID value is the auction package deals ID for Open Auction demand channel. | |
Values include "Network policies applied," "Network policies not applied," and "Unknown."
| |
Protections applied
Values include "Protection applied," "Protection not applied," and "Unknown." | |
Revenue verification ID

Video ad request sizes are appended with "v", such as "640x480, 300x250v". How this dimension differs from "Ad request size":
| |
Channel Shows publisher performance by inventory segment. Sometimes, there may be multiple channels with the same name. When the Channel dimension is included in a report or you choose it as a filter, the report aggregates the data from all the like-named channels and displays the combined data in the report results. This may lead the calculated total ad requests to exceed the actual total number of ad requests. Inventory that isn't associated with any channel will be excluded from the report. Applies to Ad Exchange and Open Bidding. Shows "(Not applicable)" for other demand channels. | |

URL
Shows publishers the performance of their domains, subdomains or pages for URLs defined under "Inventory." Ad requests are only counted for URLs that have been defined under "Inventory."
Applies to Ad Exchange and Open Bidding. Shows "(Not applicable)" for other demand channels. If you use subdomains and include the “URL” dimension in reports, your impression and revenue numbers may be inflated. Say that you have a site with a base domain of example.com and the subdomains one.example.com and two.example.com. If you include the URL in your report, data for the subdomains gets counted twice (as part of both the base domain and the subdomain), thus overstating impressions and revenue. Including the “Site” dimension can provide more accurate numbers, but this data also may include impressions to sites that you don’t control or that don’t have your ad tag directly on them. Learn more. | |

Possible values include:
In comparison to “User identifier status,” “Third-party ID status” first checks presence, then permissions. Because it checks presence first it may have the value "missing," regardless of whether the user has opted out of personalization. | |
First-party ID status
Indicates whether a first-party user identifier was present on a given ad-request. This dimension only reports values based on first-party IDs and does not include PPID.
Possible values include:
| |
Primary personalization ID type
Shows impressions coverage by the ID type selected for personalization. Each impression will only be attributed to a single ID type. For reservations this is the ID type that may have been used for line-item audience-list targeting. For auction it is the ID type forwarded to the bidder.
