Troubleshooting
- The stats in the benchmarks do not match the stats on the ROI campaign report unless the start and end date of the ROI report match the start and end date of the campaign. Use this to your benefit, you can see near-term ROI performance vs overall campaign performance over time from the benchmark to spot trends.
- Benchmarks take time to generate. You should not use this feature until you have been tracking clicks, leads, and sales for at least 1 month.
