Automated Ad Data Collection: Manual Methods Fall Short, Try The Ad Spend Today

Marketers rely on a constant stream of information about ad spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, and more to understand campaign performance, identify trends, and optimize for better results. However, the process of gathering this data can often be a significant bottleneck.

Manually collecting data from various ad platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and LinkedIn Ads typically involves:

• Logging into each platform separately.

• Navigating to the correct reporting dashboards.

• Exporting data, often in different formats.

• Consolidating this information into a single view, usually in spreadsheets.

This manual approach is not only incredibly time-consuming but also prone to human error, leading to potentially flawed analysis. Furthermore, it often means that insights are delayed, and opportunities for timely optimization are missed.
