When to use it

Use it when

  • Before device bid adjustments.
  • When mobile share grew and CPA moved.

Do not use it when

  • On campaigns whose bid strategies ignore device adjustments: check the strategy first.

What it needs first

Required

Preconditions

  • The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.

Inputs

window
Analysis window.Default: last 30 days.

Procedure

In order. Every tool named is one the gateway ships, and links to its reference.

  1. Run the device segmentation query.

  2. Where mobile underperforms, cross with landing page speed before blaming the audience.

Decision rules

The observable condition, what it lets you conclude, and what takes the conclusion back.

  • When

    Mobile converts far below desktop on the same campaigns

    Conclude

    Suspect the page before the person: check mobile speed and the form, then bid.

Evidence every conclusion must carry

  • Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
  • Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.

Where the agent stops

  • The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.

How it goes wrong quietly

The cases where the analysis is wrong and still looks right. Read them before trusting a number.

  • Cross-device journeys credit the closing device: mobile assists are invisible in a device table.
