Yahoo! Ads covers Yahoo’s US and global Gemini network for search and standard display. Programmatic display, video, native, CTV, and DOOH campaigns use the separate Yahoo DSP data source. Japan-specific advertising uses the Yahoo! Japan Search Ads and Yahoo! Japan Display Ads data sources. Yahoo! Ads and Yahoo DSP are separate data sources and do not share credentials.

What gets imported
The connector imports data at every level of the campaign hierarchy (ad account, campaign, ad group, ad) across search, native, and standard display. Performance metrics — impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, CPM, spend, conversions, and conversion value — are accompanied by gender, age, location, device, and daily breakdowns. For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, and refresh cadence, see the Yahoo! Ads data reference.Troubleshooting

Report data is fetched from the Gemini API on each dashboard query, and scheduled refreshes backfill late-arriving conversion and click data over rolling 3-, 9-, and 30-day windows. Very large accounts may experience longer initial backfills.
