How to use it

Operator takeaway

  • Test price anchors, guarantees, and bonuses as separate variables.
  • Align the offer with the stage of awareness (cold vs warm traffic).
  • Use Offer Structure only inside a stable attribution rule, conversion definition, and time window so campaign comparisons stay honest.
  • If performance changes, check whether the metric moved for a real business reason or because the measurement setup changed underneath you.

Next decision

  • Read Creative + landing page playbook: diagnose CTR/CVR, then set break-even targets if the decision depends on interpretation, policy, or trade-offs beyond the raw formula.
  • Decide which report owns Offer Structure before comparing campaigns, channels, or creative tests.
