Facebook features in the new Search Ads 360 experience

10 February 2021

Search Ads 360 can report metrics and conversions for Facebook. Search Ads 360 does not create, edit or pause campaigns, change bids or make other types of changes. However, some Facebook Marketing Partners (also referred to as preferred marketing developers) can send Floodlight conversion data to Facebook, which can then be used for bidding decisions. Contact your Facebook Marketing Partner for more information.

Reporting

  • Floodlight conversions

  • Performance metrics (such as clicks, impressions and cost)

  • Engagement metrics

Performance and engagement metrics must be downloaded from Facebook and imported into the new Search Ads 360 experience. Some Facebook Marketing Partners can automatically download and import these metrics.

Ads

If your Facebook engine account accesses data through one of the supported Facebook Marketing Partners, the types of ads supported in the new Search Ads 360 experience depend on the partner. Contact your Facebook Marketing Partner for more information.

Facebook properties in which click tracking is supported

The following Facebook properties support click tracking, as described in the table above:

  • Desktop website or mobile website
    If a user clicks an ad in the Facebook website on a desktop or mobile device, Floodlight tags on the landing page can report a conversion.

  • WebViews launched from the Facebook app
    If a user clicks an ad in the Facebook app, Floodlight tags on the landing page can report a conversion if the landing page is in a WebView.

    If the landing page is outside the Facebook app, Floodlight cannot report a conversion.

Other types of Facebook ads

If you're using ad types that aren't listed in the table above, use these general guidelines to determine if Search Ads 360 and Campaign Manager 360 can report on them if you aren't using a Facebook Marketing Partner with Facebook:
Click tracking and view tracking can be used on any type of website or mobile ad format that includes a 'Link URL' field. These types of ads are usually in campaigns with 'website clicks' and 'website conversions' objectives.

Remarketing

Search Ads 360 can build lists of customers who click your search ads and Facebook/Instagram ads. Once the lists contain enough users to satisfy engine requirements, you can use the engines or Display & Video 360 to re-engage your customers on search, social or display channels.
