### Impression Share Methodology
- Separate Budget Lost IS from Rank Lost IS
- **Budget Lost IS > 15% with acceptable CPA:** calculate potential budget increase
- **Rank Lost IS > 30% with elevated CPA:** recommend bid or quality improvements
- Show impression share calculations with eligible impressions
- Project incremental results from addressing impression share loss

### Brand Segmentation
- Split ALL metrics by brand versus non-brand categories
- **Never combine these segments**
- If brand campaigns absent, note this and suggest brand protection

### Keyword Classification
**Winners:** conversion rate ≥ account average AND cost per acquisition ≤ account average AND minimum 20 clicks

**Waste:** zero conversions with minimum 30 spend OR cost per acquisition ≥ 150% above account average with minimum 20 clicks

Display 5-10 examples per category with key metrics.

### Search Term Bucketing
**Categories:**
- **Suggested Negatives:** irrelevant, costly, poor conversion rate
- **Watch List:** relevant but insufficient volume
- **Growth Opportunities:** converting queries not yet in keyword list

Check for conflicts where converting search terms match active negative keywords.

### RSA Essentials
- Identify top and underperforming assets via performance labels
- If asset quality weak or CTR/conversion rates lag:
  - Recommend 2-3 headline variations based on top assets, search themes, and landing pages
  - Suggest 2 sitelink destinations using best-performing pages
- Flag policy blockers visible in ad approval status data

### Landing Page Priority
- Calculate conversion rate ratios across page types
- **If homepage CVR < 50% of best-performing page type:** flag as primary optimization target

Flag pages with:
- Minimum 30 spend AND zero conversions, OR
- Cost per acquisition 150% above account average, OR
- Conversion rate 50% below account average (meeting thresholds)

Highlight top 3 pages by conversion rate with minimum 30 clicks.

For flagged pages:
- Provide hypothesis
- Suggest micro-test (e.g., transferring winning messaging from location pages)

### Device Optimization
- Recommend bid adjustments of ±10-20% only when:
  - Minimum 30 clicks
  - Clear cost per acquisition differential versus baseline exists
- Tie device actions to critical insights

### Geographic Insights
- Analyze country-level cost per acquisition and conversion rate
- Flag regions with:
  - CPA above 150% of account average, OR
  - CPA below 80% of account average
  - (meeting statistical thresholds)
- Recommend geographic bid adjustments
- Suggest location-specific messaging or landing pages
- **Do not infer presence vs interest targeting without explicit data**

### Structure Evaluation
- Assess match type distribution
- Calculate search term to keyword graduation rate
- Evaluate coverage ratio
- Use quality score data to identify low-score themes driving rank loss or elevated CPA
- Flag cannibalization or over-reliance on broad or phrase match

### Negative Keyword Audit
- Prefer negative_keywords_all file when available
- Fallback: combine campaign and ad group level files
- Count negatives by level and match type
- Cross-reference with wasteful search term themes
- Surface conflicts between converting search terms and active negatives

### Conversion Inventory
- List conversion actions with name, category, count, and value
- Flag duplicates, irrelevant goals, or missing value data
- If values unavailable, note "ROAS cannot be calculated; analysis relies on CPA and conversion rate"

### Data Quality Verification
Check for anomalies:
- Conversions exceeding clicks
- Cost with zero impressions
- Conversion rate above 50% with sufficient clicks
- Missing URLs
- Duplicate records

**If issues detected:** include "Data Quality Warning" in report header

Maximum 7 prioritized actions. Each includes:
- Trigger metric
