Frequently Asked Questions 

  • Who can use Spotify Ad Analytics? 

    Spotify Ad Analytics is a global measurement service available to brands, agencies, and publishers worldwide.

  • What types of media can be measured?
    Spotify Ad Analytics measures all Spotify direct-sold media, including audio, video, and display ads across music and podcasts. Spotify Ad Analytics measures audio ads across non-Spotify media. At this time, Spotify Ad Analytics is not integrated for use with Spotify Ad Studio.
  • How much does Spotify Ad Analytics cost? 
    There is no cost associated with using Spotify Ad Analytics. 
  • Can I use the Spotify Pixel to measure attribution for podcast episodes, and associated podcast ad exposures, that are simulcast on Youtube?

    As of today, it is not possible to measure the efficacy of your publisher-direct ads in simulcast downloads via YouTube using pixel-based attribution, due to the lack of available exposure data from a YouTube view. Without data points like IP address, user agents, or timestamps – which YouTube does not supply to third parties – third-party measurement vendors, including Spotify Ad Analytics in this case, cannot accurately model attribution for YouTube views.

    YouTube allows brands to target podcast viewers with ads bought directly with Google/YouTube and provides 1st party attribution of their own. If your client wants to leverage pixel-based attribution on YouTube videos, they will need to work directly with YouTube and install the Google pixel on their website.
