Why you might not have insights

Insights can be accessed at either the account level or the individual campaign level, although some insight types are only available at the account level or at the campaign level for some campaign types, as summarized in the table below.

As such, each insight type won't always be available for every account or campaign at all times. The following are some common reasons why you might not be able to access insights:

  • Your account doesn’t have any campaign currently compatible with a given insight type.
  • For search trends, demand forecasts, and search terms insights, Google Ads hasn’t found any categories related to your business that are significantly trending.
  • For performance shifts, auction insights, and change history insights, Google Ads hasn’t found any significant changes in your performance.

If you don’t have insights in your account, check back soon. Google Ads regularly finds new insights. In the coming months, new types of insights will be added to the Insights page and become available across more campaign types.
