Within DatAds, you'll find a variety of metrics to ensure a better analysis of your ads. In this blog post, we would like to explain to you how we calculate our metrics and how you can use and interpret them for yourself.

Thumbstop ratio

Also known as a hook rate, the thumbstop ratio allows you to analyze how effectively your video ad hook is attracting users' attention.

DatAds Thumbstop Ratio

In view of the steadily declining attention span of users and the fact that we only receive values from TikTok for the first 2 seconds of video playback, we have introduced the DatAds Thumbstop Ratio. To provide a consolidated value, the DatAds Thumbstop Ratio also allows you to see this in your meta ads.
