Use segments to bring out what’s most important to you in your Google Ads tables. With segments, you can split your data into rows, and isolate exactly what you want to see. Your segment choices vary depending on which table of your Google Ads account you're viewing, but may include periods of time, click type, or device.
This article explains how to use segments.
Instructions
How to segment your table’s rows
- Sign in to your Google Ads account.
- Use the page menu to navigate to the table you’d like to segment.
- Click the segment icon
and select the data you want to isolate.
- To remove a segment, click the segment icon
and select None.
Columns may not show a value if you apply an incompatible segment. For example, conversion-based segments like “Conversion action” and “Conversion lag” work only with conversion-related columns like Conversions, All conv., and Conversion value. Hence, other columns like Clicks, Impr., and Cost will show a blank value “--” when a conversion-based segment is applied. This also includes columns that incorporate cost, such as Cost/Conv.
