• Week Over Week– Have my changes impacted performance?
• Month Over Month– Is the account moving in the right direction?
• Quarter over Quarter– Are we hitting goals?
• Year Over Year– What should we do next year?
What Each Period Means

• What am I comparing?– Don’t settle for aggregates, focus on specifics
• Specific Brands, Channels, Match Types, etc• Search Vs. Display• Search Vs. Search Partners
• Why does it matter?– Is the change good or bad?– Why did it happen?– How can you respond?
Considerations

• Performance by day of week– User behavior varies by day (Weekend vs.
Weekdays)• Performance by hour of day– People might search in free time during the

• Avg and Median Performance for any range– Having a benchmark for a specific period helps
know if something is off
