Snapshot
The Snapshot Chart will show a high-level overview of the Advertiser, Campaign, or Ad Group you are viewing. This chart changes based on the product chosen in the sidebar.
The snapshot boxes will give a high-level summary of an advertiser, campaign, or ad group's performance. The boxes that show will vary per product.
Period-over-period data is also available in this report, which shows how your performance compares to the performance of a previous time frame.
The period-over-period analysis (PoP) compares the data in the date ranges selected to the same period of time in the past. For example, if your date ranges are Aug 1-31 the period-over-period analysis would be comparing data that ran July 1-31 (the previous 31 days)

Designated Marketing Areas (DMA)- DMA (Designated Market Area) regions are the geographic areas in the U.S. in which local television viewing is measured by Nielsen. DMA data is essential for any marketer, researcher, or organization seeking to use standardized geographic areas within their business. A DMA region is a group of counties and zip codes that form an exclusive geographic area in which the home market television stations hold a dominance of total hours viewed. There are 210 DMA regions, covering the entire continental U.S., Hawaii, and parts of Alaska. DMA boundaries and data are solely owned and exclusive to Nielsen.
-
Certain DMAs can target more than one state. For example, the Denver DMA includes Utah, Wyoming, and possibly other states.
-
Facebook currently does not provide specific zip code reporting.
