Send engine track client account performance metrics to the new Search Ads 360

In engine track client accounts, the new Search Ads 360 doesn't automatically download advertising platform metrics, such as clicks, impressions, and cost. But if you create an sFTP endpoint in the new Search Ads 360, you can set up an engine track client account to automatically upload metrics to the endpoint on a schedule. Then you can view the metrics in reports in the new Search Ads 360, just as you can for fully supported advertising platforms.

To send engine track client account performance metrics to the new Search Ads 360, do the following:

  1. Create an sFTP endpoint in the new Search Ads 360.
  2. Export a keyword report from the engine track client account.
  3. Upload the keyword report to an sFTP endpoint by doing the following:
    1. Download sFTP software and enter the sFTP server address, port number, username, and password that the new Search Ads 360 generated when you created the sFTP endpoint.
    2. Use the sFTP software to transfer the file you exported from the engine track client account to the Search Ads 360 endpoint.

The uploaded metrics display in Search Ads 360 within approximately 24 hours.

  1. Report on social campaigns and “Other” client accounts

The new Search Ads 360 removes duplicates from overlapping uploads

If the uploaded metrics overlap, the new Search Ads 360 overrides the previously uploaded metrics with the most recent upload.

Set up a scheduled report in adMarketplace

In adMarketplace, set up a scheduled report for each account and specify the following information:

  • For report type, select Search Ads 360 Report.
  • Enter the sFTP connection server address, port number, username and password for the endpoint you created. Be sure you specify the port number. Search Ads 360 doesn’t use the standard FTP port number.

As reports are delivered to Search Ads 360, you'll start seeing engine track data (clicks, cost, impressions among others) in your Search Ads 360 adMarketplace account.

Search Ads 360 won't import metrics if a file contains data from more than one engine track client account.
