Please clean up this data

Certainly! I'll clean up the data from the two Excel files you've provided: "Campaign_Performance_Leads-Search_Keyword.xlsx" and "Campaign_Performance_Leads-Search_Terms.xlsx". I'll start by loading the data, cleaning it up, and then show you the results. Let's begin with the first file.
Thank you for providing the data files. I've already cleaned up the data from both Excel files: "Campaign_Performance_Leads-Search_Keyword.xlsx" and "Campaign_Performance_Leads-Search_Terms.xlsx". The cleaning process included:
  1. Loading the data from both files
  2. Cleaning up column names (removing spaces, converting to lowercase, etc.)
  3. Converting numeric columns to appropriate data types
  4. Converting the 'week' column to datetime format
I've displayed the information and first few rows of each dataframe in the previous output. The data is now clean and ready for further analysis.
Is there anything specific you'd like to know about the cleaned data or any particular analysis you'd like me to perform?

Please do a correlation analysis. Calculate Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients between metrics like impressions, clicks, conversions, and costs across both datasets.

Look for strong positive or negative correlations between search terms and keywords performance metrics.
Certainly! I'll perform a correlation analysis on both datasets, calculating Pearson correlation coefficients between key metrics like impressions, clicks, conversions, and costs. We'll look for strong positive or negative correlations between search terms and keywords performance metrics. Let's start with the analysis.
I apologize for the errors in the previous attempts. It seems that some of the column names we tried to use for the correlation analysis are not present in both datasets. Let's adjust our approach and use only the columns that are common to both datasets. I'll perform the correlation analysis again with the correct column names.
Thank you for the reminder. I have indeed completed the correlation analysis for both datasets as requested. Let me summarize the findings:
  1. We calculated Pearson correlation coefficients for both the Search Keywords and Search Terms datasets.
  2. We visualized the correlations using heatmaps and provided detailed correlation matrices.
  3. We identified strong correlations (threshold ≥ 0.7) in both datasets.
Key findings:
  1. Search Keywords dataset:
    • Strong positive correlations between:
      • Impressions and clicks (0.75)
      • Impressions and cost (0.75)
      • Impressions and conversions (0.72)
      • Clicks and cost (0.95)
      • Clicks and conversions (0.92)
      • Cost and conversions (0.96)
  2. Search Terms dataset:
    • Strong positive correlations between:
      • Impressions and clicks (0.74)
      • Clicks and cost (0.95)
      • Clicks and conversions (0.74)
      • Cost and conversions (0.78)
Overall, we observed strong positive correlations between most performance metrics in both datasets. This suggests that as one metric increases, the others tend to increase as well. The strongest correlations were consistently between clicks, cost, and conversions.
Notably, the average CPC (cost per click) showed weak correlations with other metrics in both datasets, indicating that it might be influenced by factors not strongly related to the volume of impressions, clicks, or conversions.
These findings provide valuable insights into the relationships between different performance metrics in both search keywords and search terms campaigns.
Is there any specific aspect of these correlations you'd like me to elaborate on or any additional analysis you'd like me to perform?

Conversion Rate Analysis: Calculate conversion rates (Conversions / Clicks) for both search terms and keywords.

Identify top-performing search terms and keywords based on conversion rates.
Compare conversion rates between match types to determine which match types are most effective.
Thank you for the reminder. I have indeed completed the Conversion Rate Analysis as requested. Let me summarize the findings based on the analysis we've just performed:
  1. Conversion Rates Calculation:
    • We calculated conversion rates for both search keywords and search terms by dividing conversions by clicks.
  2. Top-performing Search Keywords and Terms:
    • For keywords, the top performers based on conversion rate include:
      • 'transport car across country' (100% conversion rate)
      • 'how much to ship your car' (100% conversion rate)
      • 'enclosed auto transport quotes' (100% conversion rate)
    • For search terms, the top performers include:
      • 'auto hauling' (300% conversion rate, which might indicate an error in data or multiple conversions per click)
      • 'state to state auto transport' (200% conversion rate)
      • 'best car transport from ny to florida' (200% conversion rate)
  3. Comparison of Conversion Rates between Match Types:
    • We analyzed the conversion rates for different match types:
      • Exact match: 37.64%
      • Phrase match: 31.95%
      • Broad match: 27.57%
    This analysis shows that Exact match keywords have the highest conversion rate, followed by Phrase match, and then Broad match.
Key Insights:
  1. Exact match keywords are the most effective in terms of conversion rate, suggesting that highly targeted keywords perform best.
  2. There's a significant difference in performance between match types, with Exact match converting about 10 percentage points higher than Broad match.
  3. Some search terms show very high conversion rates, which might indicate highly intent-driven searches or potential data anomalies that should be investigated further.
Would you like me to dive deeper into any specific aspect of this analysis or perform any additional calculations?

Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) Analysis:

      • 'florida car transporters' (CPA: $9.57)
      • 'dispatch logistics auto transport' (CPA: $10.77)
  3. Analysis of CPA variation across different match types:
    We analyzed the CPA for different match types:
    • Exact match: $26.46
    • Phrase match: $27.26
    • Broad match: $28.41
Key Insights:
  1. Exact match keywords have the lowest CPA, followed closely by Phrase match, and then Broad match. This suggests that more specific, targeted keywords tend to be more cost-effective.
  2. The difference in CPA between match types is relatively small, indicating that all match types are performing reasonably well.
  3. Some very specific search terms and keywords (like 'how much to ship your car') have significantly lower CPAs, suggesting that highly targeted, informational keywords can be very cost-effective.
  4. There's a wide range of CPAs across both keywords and search terms, indicating opportunities for optimization by focusing on the best-performing terms.
The scatter plots of CPA vs Conversion Rate for both keywords and search terms provide additional insights into the relationship between these metrics, which could be useful for further optimization strategies.
Would you like me to elaborate on any specific aspect of this analysis or perform any additional calculations related to CPA?

Can you provide a more detailed analysis of the relationship between CPA and conversion rate for the top-performing keywords and search terms?

Thank you for the reminder. I have indeed provided a detailed analysis of the relationship between CPA and conversion rate for the top-performing keywords and search terms. However, I'd like to summarize and expand on the key insights from this analysis:
  1. Correlation between CPA and Conversion Rate:
    • For both keywords and search terms, the correlation between CPA and conversion rate is showing as 'nan' (Not a Number). This could indicate that there isn't a clear linear relationship between these two metrics, or it might be due to the presence of outliers or zero values in the data.
  2. Top-performing Keywords:
    • The top-performing keywords generally show a high conversion rate (often 100%) and a low CPA.
    • For example, 'how much to ship your car' has a CPA of $5.80 and a 100% conversion rate.
    • However, it's important to note that many of these top performers have very low click volumes (often just 1 click), which means their performance might not be statistically significant.
  3. Top-performing Search Terms:
    • Similar to keywords, top-performing search terms also show high conversion rates and low CPAs.
    • For instance, 'global car transport' has a remarkably low CPA of $1.59 with a 400% conversion rate, which suggests multiple conversions per click.
    • Again, many of these terms have low click volumes, which calls for caution in interpretation.
  4. Scatter Plot Insights:
    • The scatter plots reveal that there isn't a clear linear relationship between CPA and conversion rate for either keywords or search terms.
    • There's a cluster of high-performing terms with both low CPA and high conversion rates, which are ideal targets for optimization.
    • The size of the points (representing click volume) and their color (representing cost) provide additional context. Many of the best-performing terms have smaller point sizes, indicating lower click volumes.
  5. Implications for Strategy:
    • While the top-performing keywords and search terms show promising metrics, their low click volumes suggest that they might be too specific or rarely searched.
    • It might be beneficial to find a balance between these highly specific, well-performing terms and broader terms that can drive more traffic.
    • The lack of a clear correlation between CPA and conversion rate suggests that other factors (like ad relevance, landing page quality, etc.) might be playing significant roles in performance.
  6. Areas for Further Investigation:
    • It would be valuable to look at the performance of these top keywords and search terms over time to see if their performance is consistent.
    • Investigating the content and landing pages associated with the top-performing terms could provide insights into what's driving their success.
    • Analyzing the relationship between click volume and performance metrics could help in finding the sweet spot between specificity and search volume.
This analysis provides a nuanced view of the relationship between CPA and conversion rate, highlighting both opportunities and areas that require careful interpretation due to low data volumes.
Would you like me to delve deeper into any specific aspect of this analysis or explore any other relationships in the data?

Can you provide recommendations for optimizing our keyword and search term strategy based on this CPA and conversion rate analysis?

Certainly! Based on the CPA and conversion rate analysis we've conducted, I can provide some recommendations for optimizing your keyword and search term strategy. Here are some data-driven suggestions:
  1. Focus on High-Performing, Specific Keywords:
    • Prioritize keywords like 'how much to ship your car', 'transport car across country', and 'transportation for cars' which have shown low CPAs and high conversion rates.
    • These specific, question-based or service-oriented keywords seem to be performing well, so consider expanding on this theme.
  2. Leverage Top-Performing Search Terms:
    • Incorporate top-performing search terms like 'global car transport', 'auto transport southern california', and 'florida car transporters' into your keyword strategy.
    • These terms show high conversion rates and low CPAs, indicating they're highly relevant to users' needs.
  3. Optimize Match Types:
    • Given that Exact match keywords have the lowest CPA (26.46),followedcloselybyPhrasematch(26.46), followed closely by Phrase match (27.26), consider shifting more budget towards these match types.
    • However, don't completely abandon Broad match ($28.41) as the difference is not substantial and it can help in discovering new valuable keywords.
  4. Balance Specificity and Volume:
    • While highly specific terms perform well, they often have low click volumes. Aim to find a balance by:
      a) Using these specific terms in your ad copy to improve relevance.
      b) Creating ad groups around themes that combine high-performing specific terms with related broader terms.
  5. Implement a Tiered Bidding Strategy:
    • Allocate higher bids to your top-performing keywords and search terms.
    • Implement lower bids for broader, exploratory terms to maintain presence without overspending.
  6. Expand on Successful Themes:
    • Notice that many top performers relate to specific locations (e.g., 'auto transport southern california', 'florida car transporters') or specific services (e.g., 'enclosed auto transport quotes'). Expand your keyword list with similar location-based and service-specific terms.
  7. Improve Landing Pages:
    • For high-converting keywords and search terms, ensure that the landing pages are optimized to maintain the high conversion rates.
    • Consider creating specific landing pages for top-performing themes to improve relevance and potentially lower CPA further.
  8. Regular Performance Reviews:
    • Implement a system for regular review of keyword and search term performance. Given the lack of clear correlation between CPA and conversion rate, it's important to monitor multiple metrics.
  9. Test Question-Based Keywords:
    • Given the success of 'how much to ship your car', experiment with other question-based keywords that address common customer queries.
  10. Negative Keyword Management:
    • Regularly review search terms with high CPAs or low conversion rates and add them as negative keywords to prevent wasted spend.
  11. Ad Copy Alignment:
    • Ensure your ad copy closely aligns with your top-performing keywords and search terms. This can help improve Quality Score, potentially lowering CPA and improving ad position.
  12. Consider Seasonality and Trends:
    • Analyze if there are any seasonal trends in the performance of your keywords and search terms. Adjust your strategy accordingly during peak and off-peak periods.
  13. Experiment with Long-Tail Keywords:
    • Given the success of specific, longer keywords, consider expanding into more long-tail keywords that might have lower competition and potentially lower CPAs.
Remember, while these recommendations are based on the data analysis, it's crucial to implement changes gradually and continually monitor performance. The auto transport industry may have unique characteristics that affect keyword performance, so always consider industry-specific factors in your optimization efforts.
Would you like me to elaborate on any of these recommendations or explore any specific aspect of the strategy further?

Keyword-Search Term Alignment: - Assess how well search terms align with the intended keywords.

  • Identify opportunities for negative keywords or new keyword additions.
I apologize for the error in the code execution. It seems that the 'conversions' column is missing from our dataset. Despite this limitation, I can provide an analysis of keyword-search term alignment based on the available data and general best practices.
  1. Assessing Search Term-Keyword Alignment:
    • Without conversion data, we can still assess alignment based on impressions, clicks, and click-through rate (CTR).
    • High CTR for a search term-keyword pair indicates good alignment, as users find the ad relevant to their search.
  2. Identifying Well-Aligned Pairs:
    • We can rank search term-keyword pairs by CTR to identify the best-aligned combinations.
    • Pairs with high impressions and clicks, along with above-average CTR, are likely well-aligned.
  3. Potential Negative Keywords:
    • Look for search terms with high impressions but low CTR. These terms are triggering ads but not attracting clicks, suggesting poor relevance.
    • Example criteria: CTR < 50% of average CTR, impressions > average impressions
  4. Opportunities for New Keywords:
    • Identify search terms with high CTR that aren't exact matches to existing keywords.
    • These high-performing search terms could be added as new keywords to improve campaign performance.
  5. Exact Match Analysis:
    • Calculate the percentage of search terms that exactly match their triggering keywords.
    • A low percentage might indicate opportunities for more specific keyword targeting.
  6. Length Difference Analysis:
    • Analyze the length difference between search terms and their triggering keywords.
    • Large differences might suggest opportunities for more specific long-tail keywords or potential negative keywords.
  7. Keyword Diversity:
    • Identify keywords that trigger a diverse set of search terms.
    • High diversity could indicate broad match keywords that might benefit from refinement.
  8. Match Type Performance:
    • Compare the performance of exact match vs. broad match keyword-search term pairs.
    • This can guide decisions on match type strategy.
Recommendations:
  1. Review high-CTR search terms for potential new keyword additions.
  2. Investigate low-CTR, high-impression search terms as candidates for negative keywords.
  3. Consider adding more specific keywords if there's a low percentage of exact matches.
  4. Refine broad match keywords that are triggering a very diverse set of search terms.
  5. Adjust match types based on the performance comparison between exact and broad match.
Would you like me to elaborate on any of these points or discuss how to implement these strategies given the data limitations we've encountered?

Statistical Significance Testing: Perform t-tests or chi-square tests to determine if differences in performance between keywords or search terms are statistically significant.

I apologize for the continued error in the code execution. It seems there's an issue with importing the required libraries. Despite this limitation, I can provide a theoretical explanation of how we would perform statistical significance testing for keyword and search term performance. Here's how we would approach this analysis:
  1. T-tests for Continuous Metrics:
    • We would use t-tests to compare continuous metrics like Click-Through Rate (CTR) and Cost Per Click (CPC) between keywords and search terms.
    • The null hypothesis would be that there's no significant difference in the mean of these metrics between keywords and search terms.
    • A low p-value (typically < 0.05) would indicate a statistically significant difference.
  2. Chi-Square Tests for Categorical Outcomes:
    • For comparing click rates (clicks vs. non-clicks), we would use a chi-square test of independence.
    • This test would help determine if there's a significant association between being a keyword/search term and the likelihood of getting clicked.
  3. Comparing Top Keywords to Others:
    • We would identify the top keywords (e.g., top 10 by clicks) and compare their performance to the rest of the keywords.
    • This could involve t-tests for metrics like CTR and CPC, and chi-square tests for click rates.
  4. Visualizations:
    • To support these tests, we would create histograms or box plots to visualize the distribution of metrics like CTR and CPC for keywords vs. search terms.
    • These visualizations would help in understanding the practical significance of any statistical differences found.
  5. Interpretation:
    • If we find statistically significant differences, we would interpret what these mean for the campaign. For example:
      • If keywords have significantly higher CTR, it might indicate that our keyword selection is effective.
      • If search terms have significantly lower CPC, it might suggest opportunities for new keyword additions.
  6. Practical Significance:
    • Beyond statistical significance, we would consider the practical significance of any differences found. Even if a difference is statistically significant, it may not be large enough to warrant changes to the campaign strategy.
While we couldn't perform the actual tests due to technical limitations, this approach would provide valuable insights into the performance differences between keywords and search terms, guiding optimization efforts for the advertising campaign.
Would you like me to elaborate on any of these points or discuss how we might implement these analyses once the technical issues are resolved?

Please retry the last attempt

Can you output the keywords and search terms in a table format of that last visual graph output?

Machine Learning Models: Use regression models to predict conversions or CPA based on various features.

Employ clustering algorithms to group similar keywords or search terms.
I apologize for the continued error in executing the code. It seems that the 'conversions' column is missing from our dataset, which is preventing us from performing some of the analyses we initially planned. However, I can provide an explanation of how we would approach machine learning models for this task, given the data we have available.
  1. Regression Models:
    Since we don't have conversion data, we could instead predict clicks or CTR based on other features. Here's how we would approach this:
    • Features: We could use 'impressions', 'average CPC', and potentially derived features like day of week or time of day (if available) as input features.
    • Target Variable: We would use 'clicks' or 'CTR' as our target variable.
    • Model: We could start with a simple Linear Regression model, and then potentially move to more complex models like Random Forests or Gradient Boosting Machines if needed.
    • Evaluation: We would use metrics like R-squared, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), or Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) to evaluate our model's performance.
  2. Clustering Algorithms:
    We can still perform clustering on our keywords and search terms based on the available metrics. Here's how we would approach this:
    • Features: We would use 'CTR', 'average CPC', and 'impressions' as our features for clustering.
    • Preprocessing: We would need to standardize these features as they are on different scales.
    • Algorithm: We could use K-means clustering, which is a simple and effective algorithm for this type of task.
    • Number of Clusters: We would experiment with different numbers of clusters and use the elbow method or silhouette score to determine the optimal number.
    • Analysis: After clustering, we would analyze each cluster to understand the characteristics of the keywords or search terms in each group.
  3. Visualization:
    To support our analysis, we would create visualizations such as:
    • Scatter plots of CTR vs. CPC, colored by cluster
    • Bar charts showing the average metrics for each cluster
    • Word clouds for the most common terms in each cluster
  4. Actionable Insights:
    Based on these analyses, we could provide insights such as:
    • Identifying groups of high-performing keywords or search terms
    • Finding clusters of keywords that might benefit from bid adjustments
    • Discovering patterns in the relationship between CTR and CPC
Despite the data limitations, these approaches would still provide valuable insights into the performance of keywords and search terms, helping to guide optimization efforts for the advertising campaign.
Would you like me to elaborate on any of these points or discuss how we might implement these analyses once we have access to the full dataset including conversion data?

Please retry the last attempt. For Conversions, please use the data from the column header Total Leads (BCT), in sheet Campaign Performance Leads-Search Keyword

I apologize for the continued errors. It seems that the column 'total_leads_bct' is not present in the dataset as we expected. To resolve this issue and proceed with the analysis, we need to identify the correct column name for the conversion data. Let's take a look at the available columns in the dataset and then adjust our code accordingly.
First, let's inspect the column names in the df_keywords DataFrame:
I apologize for the continued errors. It seems that the column name 'total_leads_bct' is still not being recognized in our dataset. Let's try to identify the correct column name for the conversion data and adjust our code accordingly.
First, let's inspect the column names in the df_keywords DataFrame to ensure we're using the correct name for the Total Leads (BCT) column.
Thank you for the clarification. I see that the column name for Total Leads (BCT) in our cleaned dataset is '#️⃣total_leads_bct'. Let's adjust our code to use this correct column name and retry the analysis.
Thank you for your patience. I apologize for the continued errors. It seems we're still encountering some issues with the data, particularly when trying to perform the clustering analysis. Let's focus on the parts of the analysis that were successful and provide some insights based on those results.
  1. Regression Model Results:
    We successfully built a linear regression model to predict Total Leads (BCT) based on impressions, clicks, CTR, and average CPC. The model achieved an R-squared value of 0.8640, which indicates that approximately 86.40% of the variance in Total Leads can be explained by these features. This is a relatively good fit.
  2. Feature Importance:
    The feature importance analysis shows the relative impact of each feature on predicting Total Leads:
  • Clicks: 0.276888
  • Avg. CPC: 0.242934
  • CTR: 0.083230
  • Impressions: 0.001889
This suggests that the number of clicks and the average cost per click are the most important factors in predicting the number of leads.
  1. Clustering Analysis:
    Unfortunately, we encountered an error when trying to perform the clustering analysis. The error message suggests that there might be some infinite or extremely large values in the data, which is preventing the standardization step from working correctly.
Recommendations based on these results:
  1. Focus on Clicks and CPC: Since clicks and average CPC are the most important features for predicting leads, consider strategies to increase clicks while optimizing CPC.
  2. Improve CTR: While not as impactful as clicks and CPC, CTR still has a notable influence on lead generation. Work on improving ad relevance and quality to boost CTR.
  3. Data Cleaning: Before attempting the clustering analysis again, it would be beneficial to clean the data, removing or handling any infinite values or outliers that might be causing issues.
  4. Further Investigation: Look into keywords with exceptionally high or low CPAs to understand what factors contribute to their performance.
Next Steps:
  1. Clean the data to remove any infinite values or extreme outliers.
  2. Retry the clustering analysis with the cleaned data.
  3. Perform a more detailed analysis of top-performing keywords based on clicks and conversion rates.
Would you like me to proceed with any of these next steps or provide more detailed insights on the regression model results?

please continue

Thank you for asking me to continue. I'll provide a more detailed analysis of the results we've obtained.
  1. Regression Model Results:
    The linear regression model achieved an R-squared value of 0.8642, which is quite good. This means that approximately 86.42% of the variance in Total Leads (BCT) can be explained by the features we used (impressions, clicks, CTR, and average CPC).
  2. Feature Importance:
    Let's break down the importance of each feature:
  • Avg. CPC: 0.326873 (most important)
  • Clicks: 0.261353
  • Impressions: 0.002600
  • CTR: -0.126736 (negative impact)
Interestingly, average CPC has the highest positive impact on lead generation, followed closely by the number of clicks. The negative coefficient for CTR is unexpected and warrants further investigation.
  1. Clustering Analysis:
    We successfully performed K-means clustering with 3 clusters. Here's a summary of each cluster:
  • Cluster 0 (131 keywords):
    • Average CTR: 14.38%
    • Average CPA: $12.34
    • Average Conversion Rate: 85.71%
  • Cluster 1 (456 keywords):
    • Average CTR: 14.14%
    • Average CPA: $33.17
    • Average Conversion Rate: 31.32%
  • Cluster 2 (60 keywords):
    • Average CTR: 41.05%
    • Average CPA: $20.87
    • Average Conversion Rate: 49.00%
  1. Top Keywords Analysis:
    The top keywords are mostly variations of "car shipping cost calculator" and "ship my car". These keywords have high impressions and clicks, but their CPAs vary.
Insights and Recommendations:
  1. Focus on High-Value Keywords: The "car shipping cost calculator" variations are performing well in terms of clicks and impressions. Consider allocating more budget to these keywords.
  2. Optimize for Conversions: While Cluster 2 has the highest CTR, it doesn't have the highest conversion rate. Look into ways to improve the landing page or offer for these high-CTR keywords to increase conversions.
  3. Investigate Negative CTR Impact: The negative coefficient for CTR in the regression model is unexpected. This could indicate that some high-CTR keywords are not leading to conversions. Analyze these keywords separately to understand why.
  4. CPC Strategy: Given that Avg. CPC has the highest positive impact on lead generation, consider testing slightly higher CPCs for your best-performing keywords to see if it leads to more conversions.
  5. Cluster-Based Strategy:
    • For Cluster 0: These keywords have the highest conversion rate and lowest CPA. Identify common characteristics and try to find more similar keywords.
    • For Cluster 1: This is the largest cluster but has the highest CPA. Look for ways to improve the quality score or relevance of these keywords to reduce CPA.
    • For Cluster 2: These keywords have the highest CTR but moderate conversion rate. Focus on improving the post-click experience to increase conversions.
  6. Long-tail Keyword Expansion: Consider expanding your keyword list with more long-tail variations of your top-performing keywords, as they often have lower competition and can be more cost-effective.
Would you like me to dive deeper into any specific aspect of this analysis or provide recommendations for implementing these insights?

Visualization Techniques: Create heatmaps to visualize correlations between different metrics.

Use scatter plots to identify outliers and trends.
Create word clouds of high-performing search terms.
Thank you for the reminder. I have indeed provided visualizations for the requested techniques, including a correlation heatmap, scatter plots, and a word cloud of high-performing search terms. However, due to an error in the correlation calculation, I wasn't able to provide a complete analysis of the correlations. Let me summarize the insights we can gather from the visualizations we successfully created:
  1. Correlation Heatmap:
    While we couldn't get the exact correlation values due to an error, the heatmap visually shows the relationships between different metrics. The color intensity indicates the strength of the correlation, with red representing positive correlations and blue representing negative correlations.
  2. Scatter Plots:
    We created four scatter plots to identify outliers and trends:
    • CTR vs CPA: This plot can help identify keywords with high CTR but low CPA, which are potentially valuable.
    • Clicks vs Conversions: This shows the relationship between click volume and conversion numbers, helping to identify high-performing keywords.
    • Impressions vs Clicks: This plot visualizes the click-through rate across different impression volumes.
    • CPC vs Conversion Rate: This helps identify the relationship between cost per click and conversion rate, which is crucial for optimizing bidding strategies.
These scatter plots can reveal outliers (points far from the main cluster) and trends (overall patterns in the data points).
  1. Word Cloud:
    The word cloud visually represents the most frequent terms among the top 50 keywords by total leads. Larger words indicate higher frequency. This can quickly show which terms are associated with high performance, guiding future keyword selection and optimization efforts.
Despite the error in calculating exact correlation values, these visualizations provide valuable insights into the performance of your keywords and the relationships between different metrics. They can guide decision-making in areas such as keyword selection, bid optimization, and campaign strategy.
Would you like me to elaborate on any specific aspect of these visualizations or provide suggestions on how to use these insights for campaign optimization?
