Data nuances and limitations
TikTok Ads reporting can include multiple campaign types in rpt_ad_performance_daily.
GMV Max campaigns can have spend without clicks or impressions. When calculating CPC, CTR, CPM, or other click/impression-based metrics for ordinary TikTok Ads, exclude ad_campaign_type = 'gmv_max'.
- TikTok landing-page campaigns generally include spend, clicks, and impressions.
- GMV Max campaigns can include spend while clicks and impressions are unavailable.
- Filtering only to
source_system = 'tiktok' can blend these campaign types together and make CPC, CTR, and CPM misleading.
