Track strategy performance

View traffic flow across decision branches

Dynamic Strategy Rules help optimize video engagement and ad performance. Understanding how a specific strategy performs across different decision points can be difficult, especially without access to dedicated data analysts.

Dashboard analytics for Dynamic Strategy Rules provide high-level performance data within the strategy’s decision tree:

  • Track traffic flow percentages, with absolute embed counts visible on hover, across rule branches
  • Compare performance across strategy versions
  • Respond to usage patterns and improve strategies over time
