C. Spend Pacing & Budget Health
The campaign spent $12,500 this week against a planned weekly budget of $15,000, resulting in a 16.7% under-pacing. This is primarily due to lower-than-expected conversion rates leading to a reduction in bid efficiency. We recommend reallocating budget to top-performing segments or testing new creative variations to improve performance and accelerate spend.
