Read Option AI assessment
These signals improved during the Play period. Read Option AI cannot establish that the promotion alone caused the change.
Lesson
Worth testing again — run it a second month to see whether the lift repeats.

Read Option AI assessment
Review volume and rating both moved. No connected system attributes revenue to reviews, so that line stays unmeasured.
Lesson
Asking at the point of payment produced the most reviews. Keep it in the routine.

Read Option AI assessment
Spend rose while measured sessions and revenue stayed flat. Nothing in the connected data supports repeating it as-is.
Lesson
Avoid untargeted bursts. Tie the next paid test to one offer and one audience.
