TikTok Ads to Data Studio (ex Looker Studio): FAQ

Answers to common questions about connecting data to spreadsheets, dashboards, AI assistants, and reporting tools with Catchr.

How do I connect TikTok Ads to Looker Studio?

Authorize TikTok Ads in Catchr, choose the advertiser accounts in the Catchr Looker Studio connector and create your report. Start with campaign and ad-group performance, then use ad-level reporting to compare creatives. Keep the advertiser account visible when reporting for several brands.

Can I report on TikTok creatives and watch time?

Yes. Catchr includes video identifiers and average-watch-time metrics alongside advertising performance. Compare creatives using a consistent video metric and campaign objective. A long average watch time does not by itself show whether the ad drove destination clicks or purchases.

Why do different TikTok video-view metrics show different totals?

View metrics apply different thresholds and rules. A playback, a two-second view and a focused view are not interchangeable counts. Use the exact metric name in the dashboard and compare the same definition across periods rather than labeling every measure simply as views.

Why are TikTok conversions different from my analytics or MMP?

Check the attribution windows and whether the report includes click-through, view-through or engaged-view credit. Also align the event definition, timezone and dates. TikTok recommends consistent attribution settings with an MMP to reduce discrepancies, but separate measurement systems can still produce different results.

Which click metric should I use for website traffic?

Catchr's TikTok catalog includes Clicks (destination), along with other interaction-specific fields. Use destination clicks when evaluating traffic sent away from the ad. Compare them with website sessions as related measures, not identical counts, because page loading and analytics collection affect the session total.

Can I compare TikTok Ads with TikTok Shop revenue?

Yes. Add TikTok Shop to view commerce outcomes alongside advertising. Distinguish orders and revenue recorded by the shop from conversions credited to ads. Align the period and currency before calculating a business-level return.

Should I mix web purchase and app purchase metrics?

No. Catchr exposes separate website and app outcome fields, including attribution-specific app measures. Use the metric that matches the destination and conversion setup of the campaign. Combining these indiscriminately can obscure which customer journey produced the result and can introduce overlapping counts.
