Impression share

Impression share (impr share) is your share, in percentage, of the available impressions for your campaigns or keywords. 

Conversions

Conversions are goals that you determine and set within your Google Ads account. They are key actions that measure the performance of your campaigns, adgroups, keywords & ads.

Clicks

Clicks represent the number of times your ads have been clicked on, which doesn't always match the number of website visitors gained.

Average Cost Per Click

Avg CPC stands for the average cost per click and it's the actual amount you pay, on average, when someone clicks on your ad.

CTR

Clickthrough rate is the amount of times someone has clicked on your ad, displayed as a percentage. It's a barometer to determine if your ads are resonating with your audience. CTR is an indicator for relevancy - how relevant your ads are with searchers.
