Apple Ads launches Insights, replacing Custom Report Builder

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Apple Ads has launched Insights, a new data analytics engine that replaces the platform's Custom Report Builder. The tool allows advertisers to explore performance across every dimension in their account: campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ad placements, and search terms: with predefined report templates for both standard performance views and advanced metrics, including Impression Share, rank, and search term popularity by country.

What changed

Existing Custom Report Builder reports have been automatically migrated to Insights. Reports can be saved, shared within campaign groups, and downloaded as XLSX files.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means Apple Ads reporting is meaningfully more flexible than before: particularly useful now that multiple ad placements per search query are rolling out globally, creating a stronger need to analyse performance by placement and position.
