Key Performance Summary
The first section of the report includes key performance metrics such as: Total Spend, Impressions, CPM (Cost per Impression), Engagements, CPE (Cost per Engagement), Clicks, CPC (Cost per Click), Web Conversions, CPCon (Cost per Conversion).

Lastly, the Total spend refers to the total amount spent on your ads over the period, in the ad account currency.

Post engagements: The number of times people have engaged with your ads through reactions, comments, shares, link clicks, video plays, photo views and saves.
Spend: The total amount spent on your ads over the period, in the ad account currency.
This section also includes a paid engagement breakdown, where you'll see a breakdown of your post engagements by reactions, shares, comments, link clicks, 3-second video plays, photo views, post saves, and other engagements.
Lastly, the Paid Engagement Metrics show your CPE (the average amount spent per post engagement, in the ad account currency), your Engagement rate per impression, and your Average daily engagement.
Note: The CPE is recalculated from the dayâs totals across every ad in the account, rather than averaged per ad, so a high-spend ad is not weighted the same as a low-spend one.
