Profile Management

To manage a profile on Clocklocked:

1. Log in to Clocklocked at https://app.clocklocked.com/.

2. Click one of your Accounts.

3. Click one of your Profiles. If you don’t see a profile, check Show all.

4. This takes you to your Profile Management page. The left-side menu allows you to switch between five different tabs:

5. Stats - See live campaign statistics, such as specific metrics based on selected goals.

   2. Campaigns - Add, view, and manage campaigns.
   3. Keywords - Add, view, and manage campaign keywords.
   4. Active Listings - View the connected profile’s current active listings and access product information, inventory history, related campaigns, and sales data.

Stats

Stats is the default tab you land on when going to a Profile Management page in Clocklocked. This tab shows live campaign statistics, including specific metrics based on your selected goals.

This page only shows statistics for the last 30 days.

The Stats tab shows the following panels:

• Profile- Shows the currently selected profile. Clicking the link on the profile name takes you to the Campaigns tab.
• Sales- Shows the total amount made from sales linked to campaigns running on the selected profile, detailing your progress towards or away from the selected goal.
• Cost- Shows the cost spent on ad campaigns running on the selected profile, detailing your progress towards or away from the selected goal.
• ACOS- The ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sales) measures the ratio of ad cost to sales. It's a percentage calculated by dividing total ad spend by total sales generated from advertising, then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage. To set the Target ACOS percentage, click the current Goal shown in the panel or the Change Goal button on top.
  • ROAS = Revenue from Ads / Cost of Ads
  • For instance, if you spend $50 on ads and those ads generate $500 in sales, your ACOS would be 10% ($50 / $500 * 100 = 10%). This means you're spending 10 cents on advertising for every dollar in sales generated.
• ROAS- The ROAS (Return on Advertising Spend) measures the revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising, calculated by dividing the total revenue generated from ads by the total amount spent on those ads. To set the Target ROAS, click the current Goal shown in the panel or the Change Goal button on top.
  • ACOS = (Cost of Ads / Revenue from Ads) * 100
  • For example, if you spend $200 on advertising and generate $1000 in sales from those ads, your ROAS would be 5x ($1000 / $200 = 5). This means for every dollar spent on advertising, you generate $5 in revenue.
• Active Campaigns - The number of currently active campaigns. Click View Details to see the campaigns.
• Campaigns (ACOS) - The number of campaigns that take you toward and away from your ACOS goal. Click the campaign counts to see actual campaigns.
• Campaigns (ROAS) - The number of campaigns that take you toward and away from your ROAS goal. Click the campaign counts to see actual campaigns.
