'Last 7 days changes' option in Optimization

When bids for keywords or product groups are increased they take a while to affect performance. Keeping this in mind we added the 'Last 7 days changes' option to the bidding optimizations. 

This option is selected by default so the system doesn't show suggestions for which bid changes were made (through Optmyzr) in the last 7 days. This prevents you from increasing bids for the same keywords or product groups on consecutive days. 

For example, if you filter suggestions by low conversions and increase bids, then the same suggestions may show up again the next day and you'll increase bids again even though they haven't had a chance to perform with the new bid.

However, if you would like to see all suggestions, uncheck the 'Hide 7 days changes' box at the top of the optimization page.

Offset Date Range

The offset date range option in optimization tools lets you set a number of days to push back the data. This takes care of conversion delays.

You can use this to exclude a certain time period (for example, only consider data from the previous month without including this past week), or to set a 30-day period that begins on a determined day.

When using a custom date range, it's important to keep in mind that the system considers the number of days and not specific dates.
