Key Metrics

The dashboard displays six primary performance indicators:

  • Use for: Measuring reach and visibility
  • Trend indicator: Shows change from previous period

Clicks

The number of times users clicked on your notifications.

  • Use for: Measuring engagement
  • Higher is better: More clicks means your creatives are resonating

CTR (Click-Through Rate)

The percentage of impressions that resulted in clicks.

Formula: (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100

  • Industry average: 1-3% for push notifications
  • Use for: Evaluating creative effectiveness

CPC (Cost Per Click)

The average amount you paid for each click.

Formula: Total Spend ÷ Clicks

  • Use for: Budget efficiency analysis
  • Lower is better: Optimize bids and sources to reduce CPC

Conversions
