Common Questions
Q: Can I see data older than 90 days? A: No, the system syncs and stores the last 90 days. This is standard for Google Ads performance analysis.
Q: Why don't some metrics show data? A: Some metrics (like Quality Score, Impression Share) aren't available for all campaign types. If Google Ads doesn't provide it, we can't show it.
Q: Can I compare two date ranges side-by-side? A: Not directly in the UI. Export data for two different ranges and compare in Excel/Sheets.
Q: Do AI Alerts auto-update daily? A: Yes, AI re-analyzes after each sync. New alerts appear, resolved issues disappear automatically.
Q: What happens if I decline an alert by mistake? A: You can view declined alerts in the Alert History section. While you can't "un-decline," the AI may generate a similar alert if the issue persists.
Q: Can I chat with AI about multiple clients at once? A: No, AI Chat is client-specific. Each chat only sees data for that one client. Use the global AI Chat for cross-client questions.
Q: Why is my budget tracking showing "No budget set"? A: You need to add a monthly budget in the client's business profile (Edit Client → Monthly Budget field).
Troubleshooting
