How should you chart TikTok Ads reach in Looker Studio?

The TikTok Ads connector offers ad-level reports such as Ads, Auction Basic Ads and Auction Audience Ads. It also has a family of reach reports: Campaign Daily Reach, Campaign Week Reach, Campaign Month Reach, Campaign Lifetime Reach and Account Monthly.

Item	Question it answers
Reach	How many people saw the campaign?
ad_name	Which ad ran? On original Smart+ campaigns this holds a video file name instead.
ad_id	Which ad row do I join other tables to?
SKAN metrics	How did iOS 14 dedicated campaigns convert?

Looker Studio reads the recipe data from a database it supports. If the data is not in BigQuery, choose the matching connector when you copy the data source template. Then copy the dashboard template and point it at the new data source.

Mind the Reach total. If a Looker Studio chart adds Reach across levels, for example from ad up to campaign, the same person can be counted more than once. That can make the number differ from TikTok Ads Manager. For any Reach chart, use one of the reach report types listed above instead of summing ad rows.
