Types of Saved Reports You Should Create
The easy answer is that you should create a saved report for anything that you view often. Easy access.

But in general, I’m going to assume that you regularly run ads that do the following:

  • Drive Website Traffic
  • Increase Page Likes
  • Drive Website Conversions
  • Increase Post Engagement

As a result, I recommend saving reports for these purposes. I would use settings similar to those described in Lesson 4.

Also note that you can also have alerts sent to you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis with updates on these reports. You do this by clicking the Schedule button.

Simply pick your report, provide an email address and determine how often you want to receive it.
