The fastest way to catch performance issues
Copy and adapt five popular performance monitors templates
Performance monitors help you track trends and spot significant changes fast. We strongly recommend customizing them for your account and campaigns.
Here are five popular performance monitors, ready for you to adapt for your campaigns:

This monitor alerts you if your account drops below your minimum ROAS target. Some teams use multiple alerts of this type for changes in scope, such as monitoring brand and non-brand campaigns separately.
What you need to customize:
Your minimum ROAS target
Optional: A minimum value for smaller ecommerce accounts

The review period (‘during’): Large brands often monitor 1-3 days; smaller brands choose 7-14 days
