Meta’s GEM Update: What Every Advertiser Needs to Know in 2026
AdBeacon - Putting Reporting on Autopilot!
stitch together expensive third-party connectors just to get their performance data where they actually want it – spreadsheets.
Today, that changes.
AdBeacon is thrilled to announce AdBeacon for Sheets, a new Google Sheets extension that lets you pull your AdBeacon data directly into any spreadsheet in seconds. No more CSV shuffling. No more endless downloads. No more middleware tools charging you thousands just to access data you already own.
This is your data, your way.
Why AdBeacon Built This Update
Every few weeks, we hear the similar need echoed from marketing teams and agencies:
“I just want to get my data into Sheets so I can model it the way I want.”
And we get it, when it comes to your performance data – we (and you) need maximum flexibility!
AdBeacon already provides exports, spreadsheets, and flexible downloads, but we wanted to eliminate friction entirely – especially for agency partners who live in Sheets and build recurring reports, dashboards, and forecasts.
With AdBeacon for Sheets, analysts, media buyers, and CMOs now have the freedom to:
- Pull fresh performance data directly into Google Sheets
- Customize reports using their own formulas, pivot tables, and workflows
- Automate updates with built-in scheduling
- Centralize all marketing reporting without paying for additional connectors
And the setup takes under two minutes.
How It Works - Extra Simple Process
- Open Google Sheets
- Go to Extensions → Add-ons → Get Add-ons
- Search “AdBeacon”
- Install the AdBeacon for Sheets extension
- Connect your AdBeacon account using your API token
- Start running queries instantly – from channels to campaigns to AdBeacon-exclusive metrics like AOV, CAC, New vs. Returning Orders, and more
You choose the date range. You choose the dimensions. You choose exactly which AdBeacon metrics matter.
Then click Get Data and watch your sheet populate in seconds.
Scheduling functionality also lets you auto-refresh your reports daily, weekly, or monthly – ideal for recurring dashboards or client deliverables.

The Real Value: Cutting Tech Stack Costs
Many teams rely on connector tools like Supermetrics, Funnel, or other middleware platforms just to get data into Sheets. These products often cost:
- $1,200–$4,000 per year per user for access to the channels marketers already pay to advertise on
- Even more for additional data sources, scheduling, or team seats
For agencies managing dozens or 100’s of brands – costs scale fast.
With AdBeacon for Sheets, those expenses disappear. You now get:
- Direct data access
- Full metric availability (including AdBeacon-only attribution metrics)
- Automated scheduling
- Unlimited Sheets integrations
- Included as part of your AdBeacon plan (all levels)
Most teams will save thousands annually simply by removing the need for separate connectors.
And unlike generic connectors, AdBeacon’s pipeline is built specifically to support revenue accuracy, signal-based attribution, and the deeper metrics that matter for modern performance teams.
What This Means for Marketing Experts
Marketing leaders and analysts can now:
1. Build Reports Their Way
From forecasting to cohort tracking to ROAS breakouts across creative, channels, and customers – you fully control the spreadsheet environment.
2. Standardize Agency + Internal Reporting
No more version mismatch or multiple tools. Everyone works from one source of truth.
3. Automate Recurring Dashboards
