An account big enough to test that has never tested

Without an experiment, every decision in the account's history was judged on a before and after. Seasons, competitors and budgets move at the same time, so a rise after a change says little about the change.

An account with this much volume can test a bidding strategy, a landing page or a new structure on half the traffic and know within weeks. Never having done so is a missed habit, not a fault.

The check only applies to accounts with enough conversions for an experiment to give an answer.

Checks that weigh money or clicks judge what they find on your own account's numbers, not on one figure applied to every account, so what counts as a problem on a small account is not the same on a large one. Checks on settings read how the account is set up.

When there is too little to go on, the check says so instead of guessing. A finding always comes with the rows behind it, so you can read the evidence before you decide.

1. In Google Ads, open Campaigns, then Experiments.
2. Check whether any experiment has ever been run, finished or in progress.
3. Add up the account's conversions over the last 30 days.
4. If the account has plenty of conversions and no experiment, it could be testing.

Pick one question that matters, such as a bidding strategy or a landing page, and run it as a campaign experiment on a 50/50 split for four to six weeks.

Decide in advance what result would make you switch, so the outcome is a decision rather than a debate.
