Catalog advertisers may finally be able to see which products are eating budget and which ones are selling—directly inside Meta Ads Manager. A LinkedIn post from Bram Van der Hallen, a Meta Ads specialist at Edge.be, describes a new “Top products in your campaign” panel. He writes: “You can now quickly view TOP products from your Meta Ads campaign.”
Meta has not published help documentation or an announcement, so this remains a practitioner-spotted feature. Two commenters said they saw the view in their own accounts, which gives the report some independent support. But the exact rollout and metric definitions are still unconfirmed.
What the panel shows
The panel appears in Ads Manager performance charts for product catalog campaigns. According to the post, advertisers can open it and switch between seven product-level metrics:
- Product amount spent — how much spend each product received.
- Product clicks — top products sorted by clicks.
- Product views
- Product purchases
- Product purchase conversion value
- Product attributed orders
- Product attributed orders conversion value
The first two have definitions in the post; the rest are listed by name only. The panel also links to a wider “Product insights” dashboard and can be viewed at ad set level, not just campaign level.
Why it matters for catalog advertisers
Meta’s catalog ads have historically reported at the ad, ad set or campaign level. You could see total spend and total conversions, but not which product inside a dynamic ad earned the click or the sale. Media buyers often stitched together product-level impressions, clicks and spend via the Marketing API, then matched revenue from Google Analytics 4 with imperfect results.
That made feed optimization slow and indirect. A native per-product view that pairs spend with orders would let you spot a product absorbing budget while generating few sales, and fix the feed element rather than the whole campaign.
Don’t move budget before you check three things
The panel looks valuable, but it’s not confirmed by Meta yet. Before you use it for decisions:
- Check whether sitelinks appear as products. One performance marketer commented that the view is “treating sitelinks as ‘products’.”
- Wait for definitions. The difference between “Product attributed orders” and “Product purchases” is not explained, nor is the attribution model.
- Treat it as directional. Attributed sales are not incremental sales; still run incrementality tests before cutting or scaling items.
What to do with it
If the panel is live in your account, use it as a pre-Black Friday feed audit. Sort by product amount spent, then compare that against attributed orders and purchase conversion value. Flag items with high spend and low outcomes, and review their feed creative, price or landing page.
Keep the bigger context in mind. Meta has been consolidating campaigns under Advantage+ and changing attribution rules. Any new conversion value metric only matters if you know how it’s counted.
