1. Check what you are comparing
Before calling performance better or worse, check the period, report source and selected property or account. Comparing a full week with three days changes the meaning; account currency and timezone also affect interpretation. Record those details alongside the observation so another reviewer can understand the comparison. If the period is incomplete, treat the result as provisional.
2. Understand the metric definition
“Conversion” does not always mean the same thing across sources or accounts. Check measurement settings and report definitions, and avoid adding figures across platforms before understanding what each counts. A reported purchase signal is not a payment receipt, and an absent signal alone does not establish that no order occurred. When the definition is uncertain, record the question rather than a definitive conclusion.
3. Turn the observation into a review step
Instead of stopping at “visits increased,” ask where they came from and what changed in the website or campaigns during the period. Several factors may be involved, so separate the observation from its explanation. Taysra brings together available reports and, when you request analysis, helps identify questions and priorities. Review the source and limitations before changing a budget or making an implementation decision.
A place to start
Write the observation, its source, what you do not yet know and how you will check it.
