PPC Audit Score
The PPC Policy and Audits widget is a quick and easy way to audit your account and view an overall average performance grade to see how everything is doing. It assigns a relevant grade to each component of your account based on relative factors.
The widget will also show you the account's score for the previous period. You can hover over 'previous score' to get more details on the date range being considered.
To view the full audit report, click on the ‘View Report’ button placed at the bottom left of the widget. You can also click 'View All Audits' in the top right corner to create your own custom audit template through the PPC policy and Audits tool.
By clicking on the gear icon next to the widget's name, you'll be able to customize the widget to help you make sure you're keeping track of all important aspects of the account. It will allow you to modify the following:
Change the template in use: select one of your custom audit templates, available in the PPC Policy and Audits, for the widget to use instead of the default audit.
Configuring it for multiple accounts: specify if you'd like to use the custom audit template for a particular account or across all amazon accounts.
PPC Investigator
This widget helps you find exactly what caused a metric to increase or decrease. Answering questions such as why ACoS dropped the previous month can give you great insights into account improvement.
