Executive summary

How to read severity badges

BadgeConditionsAction
Definite bid war2+ campaigns share a match type and no single campaign takes more than 70% of clicks – real competition for the same term.Pause this term in the lower-performing campaigns or graduate it to a single match-type as exact, then add as negative everywhere else.
Likely bid war2+ campaigns share a match type and the leader takes 70–85% of clicks – there is a dominant campaign but others get a meaningful share.Consolidate into one campaign or split targeting via negatives. Confirm with a 7-day spend trend before acting – the leader may be the right home.
Possible overlapMatch types are all different (graduation pattern) OR one campaign takes ≥85% of clicks (others are noise) OR low traffic.Usually noise. Review only if this term sits in your top spend; otherwise leave as-is and revisit after consolidating Definite/Likely findings.

Methodology & privacy

This report was generated entirely in your browser. Your file was never transmitted to our servers. We see only your email and Stripe payment id.

The detection model is deterministic and rule-based – no machine learning, no per-account tuning. The same overlap rules and second-price-auction inflation factors run on every report.

Confidence interval (±30%) reflects empirical second-price-auction modelling; treat headline numbers as estimates, not contracts.
