in the past weeks we had the same problem several times when it came to custom reports about ads (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Ads) in HubSpot.
Especially for the customer success and reporting team it is important to be able to show custom reports about ads in a dedicated Dashboard.
At the moment HubSpot only offers pre-set reports around ads that can not be edited. Additionally there is the "analyse" area in the "Marketing" -> "Ads" section where reports can be saved to Dashboards, but even these reports can not be edited.
In a nutshell there is no possibility to create a report for a dedicated ad campaign (e.g. for a particular whitepaper ad) where we put together the following information in a table:
CTR (Click through rate)
CAC (Customer Aquisition Cost)
Ad spent / cost for ad campaign
Ad impressions
Ad clicks
CPC (Cost per click)
Cost per MQL
Cost per SQL
I've added 2 screenshots of information that can not be added in reports at the moment and the missing "edit" button at ad-reports.
If you are in the same situation that you want to build Dashboards around your social ads but miss the functions in HubSpot then feel free to give this post a thumb-up.
My brain refuses to believe this is possible. Our company starts the onboarding process in January, and I'm ready to kinda-sorta throw a fit about a lack of custom ad campaign reporting. Feels like a bare minimum no-brainer to include in the software.
Absolutely we need it @StefanWendt. I came across this issue today while creating custom reports for the ads account. There aren't enough options to have a proper funnel report for the ads in HubSpot.
