Sponsored Display Targeting Report — Hopted Amazon Ads report guide

What this report tells you

Use targeting data to connect performance with the targets configured in your campaigns. Preserve the target or keyword fields alongside campaign and ad-group identifiers so a review can lead back to the correct item in Amazon Ads.

Sponsored Display reports can include click-based and view-related outcome measures. Keep the attribution definition consistent when comparing results. A total sales measure and its click-based counterpart are not independent amounts to add together.

Useful columns to start with

Choose columns for the question you want to answer. These are a starting set from Hopted’s report picker, rather than an exhaustive field list.

  • Campaign Id — Use a stable campaign key for grouping and joins.
  • Targeting Text — Keep the readable target description.
  • Targeting Expression — Distinguish configured targeting expressions.
  • Impressions — Measure reported ad delivery.
  • Clicks — Review engagement with the ad.
  • Cost — Track advertising cost.
  • Sales — Review the report’s attributed sales.

Add Profile ID, Store name, the date field, and Currency where available. They help keep accounts, periods, and monetary amounts distinct.

How to export Sponsored Display - Targeting to Google Sheets

1. Connect Amazon Ads to Google Sheets

Install Hopted and sign in. To connect Amazon Ads to Google Sheets, open your spreadsheet, click Hopted, then Add new data sync and Amazon Ads. Connect an Ads account if you have not linked one yet, then select the profiles to include. For an account-wide view, choose All Amazon accounts (including any added later).

2. Choose the source, reporting period, and columns

Choose Sponsored Display - Targeting in the source list. Open its settings to review the reporting period, then use Add beside the columns you want. The screenshot below shows this report in the current Hopted picker.

The source settings include a reporting-period choice, such as Previous 30 days. This controls which records are requested; it is separate from the attribution window named in a metric.

3. Review optional filters

Use filters when you want a focused view. Leave them unset for a broader import. Check filters when a result is missing, before assuming the report contains no data.

4. Choose a refresh schedule

Choose the refresh cadence in Hopted: every few minutes, hourly, daily, or weekly. The schedule screen shows the Hopted account’s time zone. Select a cadence that suits your review and the source’s data availability.

5. Review and create the Sync

Check the accounts, selected fields, filters, and schedule on the review screen. Click Create new Sync when the configuration is ready. Review the imported rows in your Sheet before building formulas or sharing a dashboard.

How to use the report

  • Compare configured targets within the same campaign and account to locate expensive or underused areas.
  • Keep match type and targeting expression where available so different targets with similar names remain distinguishable.
  • Build a review list from performance trends, then assess bids, relevance, and objectives before making changes.

For a sales-efficiency review, calculate ACoS = advertising cost ÷ attributed sales × 100% and ROAS = attributed sales ÷ advertising cost. Use the same currency, reporting period, and attribution basis. Calculate ratios from summed amounts rather than averaging row-level percentages; leave a ratio blank when its denominator is zero.

What to check before comparing results

Targeting describes the advertiser’s configured target. It should not be read as a list of shopper queries; use a Search Term report when that is the question.

Availability depends on the connected profile, marketplace, ad activity, and Amazon’s reporting support. A source appearing in Hopted’s picker does not guarantee rows for every account. Recent results may change as Amazon updates reporting.

Keep each report’s row dimensions intact. Do not add together overlapping breakdowns or combine different currencies without a deliberate conversion. For historical comparisons beyond the source’s available period, review Hopted Data history.

Questions and answers

How do I export Sponsored Display - Targeting to Google Sheets?

Install Hopted, open a Google Sheet, choose Amazon Ads, select your connected accounts, and choose Sponsored Display - Targeting as the source. Add columns, review the reporting period and optional filters, then choose a refresh schedule and create the Sync.

Which columns should I start with?

Start with Campaign Id, Targeting Text, Targeting Expression, Impressions, Clicks. Keep account, date, and currency context where available. You can choose additional fields in Hopted for the review you are building.

Why can the latest results change after a refresh?

Amazon can update recent attributed results as data matures. A Hopted refresh retrieves available data; it cannot make unfinished attribution final. Compare matching reporting periods, currencies, and attribution definitions.
