Reporting available in Ads Manager

Ads Manager includes three main reporting capabilities, each designed to support a different level of analysis: Dashboard view, Marketing reports, and Business reports.

Dashboard view

Dashboard view provides a centralized view of your business performance, including deeper insights into performance drivers, competitive comparisons, and daypart trends. This view is where you can:

  • Track performance over time, including Total Sales and Total Units (paid and organic)

  • View performance across retailers and identify where growth is coming from (available to select advertisers)

  • Monitor category share and benchmark against competitors

  • Understand performance by time of day and day of week

  • Export data for further analysis and reporting

Marketing reports

Marketing reports allow you to analyze up to a year of campaign performance data across Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands, with report types tailored to each format.

  • Sponsored Products: Campaign report (campaign-level performance), Placement report (by ad group and placement type), Product report (featured product performance by ad group), Keyword report (search keyword performance across ad groups)

  • Sponsored Brands: Campaign report (campaign-level performance), Product report (featured product performance by ad group)

You can export these reports according to your custom parameters for deeper analysis. 

Business reports

Business reports provide deep insight into your brand's total growth and performance on the DoorDash marketplace including:

  • Product Sales: View item-level performance, including total sales, orders, units, and store type to understand how individual products are performing

  • Category Share: Measure your brand’s share within a product category and benchmark against competitors using NielsenIQ or Circana data

  • Interest Insights: Analyze performance across dish segments to identify which customer interests are more likely to convert for your brand (available in the U.S. only)

Reports can be customized by date range and level of detail, then exported for deeper analysis.
