Note
This functionality currently is in Open Beta. It is still under development and may be subject to change without notice. Contact your Microsoft Advertising Account Representative to get enabled.
The Impression Funnel panel on the Troubleshooting tab enables you to view the metrics of a curated deal as a whole and assess its overall performance.
The Impression Funnel: Seller Deals panel contains a table that allows you to see the curated deal’s impression funnel and metrics broken out for each seller deal, it sources inventory from. The panel will appear if the curated deal's Supply Stratergy is configured to source inventory from seller deals. If you frequently source inventory from seller deals, this table enables you to effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues. For example, if your curated deal is experiencing low delivery, you can use the table to check a few possible causes:
- Seller deals with the lowest imps matched: To check if the deals are contributing to fewer matched imps than you would expect.
- Seller deals with the lowest bid rates: To check if the buyer's targeting is restricting the seller deals on which they bid.
- Seller deals with the lowest win rates: To check if an issue is preventing the buyer from winning impressions effectively through a seller deal.
