The Meta Ads dashboard, top to bottom. A control bar holds account search, a Download button and a date range. Four groups of tiles follow: Awareness and Reach, Engagement and Funnel Actions, Efficiency Metrics and Conversion Rates. Below them a Conversion Funnel runs from clicks to appointments beside a Conversion Metrics Trend line. Then come leads by device, leads by placement and total leads by day, a band with the count of ads, the count of campaigns and total reach, and a Creative Performance table of ads with impressions, link clicks, amount spent and CTR. — The Meta Ads dashboard, top to bottom

Why platform numbers stop short

Spend tells you what went out.Clicks tell you what came in.Your dashboard shows what it bought.

The platform's own columns are a fine start.

So we built the next layer. Spend, creative and funnel data on one screen, so your team reads cost, conversion and creative together.

What happened

Your ad account

Spend, reach and clicks, by campaign, ad set and ad.
The platform's own columns, in the platform's own layout.
A list of rows to read one by one.

What it bought

Your Meta Ads dashboard

Spend next to what each lead and each booked call cost.
The funnel from click to appointment, with the drop between stages.
Device, placement and ad next to the same numbers.

What it answers

01
How much are we spending?
Ads Spend, CPM and Impressions sit together in the first group.

02
Are clicks turning into leads?

Who it's for

Founders who spend on Meta Ads and want one place to read the result.

Marketers who build reports for a team or a client.

Teams that track leads and booked calls, not only clicks.

Anyone planning a BigQuery reporting layer for Meta data.

Not for you if you want a template to copy. This is a breakdown, not a template.

Under the dashboard

01
Meta Ads API
Spend, reach, impressions, clicks, link clicks, landing page views and leads, by day and by ad.
02
A daily pipeline
A scheduled job pulls the API once a day and refreshes a rolling window of recent days.
03
BigQuery tables
Ads and campaigns as dimension tables (dim_ads, dim_campaigns). Performance as fact tables, split by device and publisher, by age and gender, and by country and region (fact_insights_by_device_publisher, fact_insights_by_age_gender, fact_insights_by_country_region).
04
A funnel view
Impressions, clicks, link clicks, landing page views and leads stacked into one stage and value table (device_publisher_funnel_mv), so a funnel is one query.
05
The dashboard
Tiles, funnel, trend, device, placement and creative views, each reading a table of this shape.

One dataset per client. Every table name carries the client's own prefix.

The blueprint covers all twelve KPIs, the funnel and the data underneath.
