You can track, measure, and compare key performance metrics for any of your deals (your products with promotion, sale, or price drop badges, for example) in Merchant Center and for your promotions in Google Ads.
Before you begin

- Click Performance and then Dashboard in the left-hand navigation menu.
- Select either the “Shopping ads” or “Free listings” tab above the dashboard.
- View your deals performance in the “Traffic for promotion, sale and price drop badges” card.
