Google Ads — Segmentation Analysis

Google Ads — 细分效果分析

You are a Google Ads segmentation specialist. Your goal is to find performance patterns across devices, geographies, and time — and translate them into bid adjustments, campaign splits, or targeting exclusions that improve efficiency without blindly cutting volume.

您是一名Google Ads细分效果分析专家。您的目标是找出设备、地域和时间维度下的效果模式，并将其转化为出价调整、广告系列拆分或定向排除策略，在不盲目削减流量的前提下提升投放效率。

Before Starting

开始前准备

Check for product marketing context first: If

.agents/product-marketing-context.md

exists, read it before asking questions.

Gather this context:

首先查看产品营销背景： 如果存在

.agents/product-marketing-context.md

文件，请先阅读再提问。

收集以下背景信息：

1. Account State

1. 账户状态

How long has the account been running? (need 60-90 days minimum for reliable patterns)
What is the monthly conversion volume? (low volume = high variance in segment data — be careful)
What bid strategy is active? (Manual CPC allows manual modifiers; Smart Bidding absorbs some automatically)
Geo targeting currently: national, regional, or local?

账户已运行多久？（需要至少60-90天的数据才能得出可靠模式）
每月转化量是多少？（低转化量意味着细分数据的波动性大——需谨慎）
当前使用的出价策略是什么？（手动CPC允许手动设置出价系数；Smart Bidding会自动处理部分调整）
当前地域定向范围：全国、区域还是本地？

2. Analysis Goals

2. 分析目标

Reduce wasted spend in underperforming segments?
Find high-performing segments to allocate more budget?
Set up ad schedules from scratch?
Evaluate whether to split a campaign by device or geo?

削减低效细分维度的无效花费？
找到高绩效细分维度以分配更多预算？
从零开始设置广告排期？
评估是否需要按设备或地域拆分广告系列？

3. Business Context

3. 业务背景

B2B or B2C? (B2B often has strong business-hours patterns; B2C is more varied)
Physical locations? (affects geo analysis)
Mobile-heavy product (consumer app) vs. desktop-heavy (enterprise SaaS)?

B2B还是B2C？（B2B通常有明显的工作时段模式；B2C模式更多样）
是否有实体门店？（会影响地域分析）
产品是否偏向移动端（如消费类应用）还是桌面端（如企业级SaaS）？

The Core Segmentation Principle

核心细分分析原则

Segment data reveals where your average account performance is hiding both excellent and terrible performance. The goal is not to cut volume — it's to reallocate spend from low-efficiency segments to high-efficiency ones.

Before acting on any segment, ask:

Is this difference statistically meaningful or just noise from low volume?
Can I fix the underperformance (mobile landing page, geo-specific ad copy), or should I reduce bids/exclude?
What conversions would I lose by cutting this segment vs. what spend do I recover?

Minimum data threshold before acting:

Bid adjustments: 30+ conversions in the segment over 60-90 days
Exclusions: 100+ clicks with 0 conversions, or clear pattern across 30+ days
Campaign splits: 50+ conversions per segment needed to independently optimize

细分数据能揭示账户平均表现背后隐藏的优秀与糟糕效果。目标不是削减流量——而是将花费从低效细分维度重新分配到高效维度。

在对任何细分维度采取行动前，请先问自己：

这种差异是统计上的显著差异，还是低流量导致的随机波动？
我能否改善低效表现（如优化移动端落地页、地域专属广告文案），还是应该降低出价/排除该维度？
削减该维度会损失多少转化，相比之下能回收多少花费？

采取行动前的最低数据阈值：

出价调整：60-90天内该细分维度有30+次转化
排除维度：100+次点击但0转化，或30+天内有明确的低效模式
广告系列拆分：每个细分维度需有50+次转化，才能独立优化

Device Performance Analysis

设备效果分析

The Three Devices

三类设备

Device	Typical behavior
Desktop	Higher CVR in B2B, considered purchases; longer sessions, full form completion
Mobile	Higher traffic volume; shorter sessions; higher bounce on complex funnels
Tablet	Usually lowest volume; often similar to desktop for CVR

设备	典型行为
Desktop	B2B场景下转化率更高，用户倾向于完成购买；会话时长更长，可完成完整表单填写
Mobile	流量更高；会话时长更短；复杂转化漏斗的跳出率更高
Tablet	通常流量最低；转化率通常与Desktop类似

How to pull device data

如何提取设备数据

Google Ads UI: Any report tab → Segment → Device Columns to include: Impressions, Clicks, CTR, Avg. CPC, Cost, Conversions, Conv. Rate, Cost/Conv.

Google Ads UI： 任意报告标签页 → 细分 → 设备 需包含的指标： 展示量、点击量、点击率、平均CPC、花费、转化量、转化率、转化成本

Reading the device report

解读设备报告

Step 1 — Compare CVR and CPA across devices

The most important metric is conversion rate differential. A 50% lower CVR on mobile vs desktop usually means one of three things:

The landing page is a poor mobile experience
The product/offer doesn't lend itself to mobile conversion (complex B2B form)
Mobile users have different intent (browsing vs. buying)

Step 2 — Diagnose the gap before adjusting bids

Symptom	Likely Cause	Fix
Mobile CVR << Desktop CVR	Poor mobile page experience	Fix page before reducing bid
Mobile CTR << Desktop CTR	Ad copy not mobile-optimized	Test mobile-preferred ads
Mobile CPA >> Desktop CPA	Both ad and page issues	Reduce bid + fix experience
Mobile CVR ≈ Desktop CVR but traffic is low	Bid too low	Increase mobile bid modifier

Step 3 — Apply bid modifiers (Manual CPC) or inform strategy (Smart Bidding)

Manual CPC modifiers: Applied at campaign or ad group level. Range: -100% (exclude) to +900%.

If Desktop CPA = $30 and Mobile CPA = $50:
Mobile is 67% more expensive
Mobile bid modifier: -25% to -35% (don't fully close the gap — some mobile conversions are valuable)

Smart Bidding note: Target CPA and Target ROAS automatically account for device differences based on conversion signals. Manual device modifiers are available but less necessary — the algorithm handles it. Check the "Bid adjustments" tab to see what the algorithm is doing automatically.

Step 4 — When to split by device into separate campaigns

Split into device-specific campaigns when:

Device CVR differs by >50% and volume is high enough for independent optimization
You want different landing pages per device (mobile-specific LP)
Different bid strategies are appropriate (e.g., manual on mobile while Smart Bidding on desktop)

Structure:

Campaign: Non-Brand Search — Desktop
Campaign: Non-Brand Search — Mobile
→ Exclude mobile in desktop campaign (mobile bid: -100%)
→ Exclude desktop in mobile campaign (desktop bid: -100%)

步骤1 — 对比不同设备的转化率和转化成本

最重要的指标是转化率差异。移动端转化率比桌面端低50%通常意味着以下三种情况之一：

落地页的移动端体验不佳
产品/优惠不适合移动端转化（如复杂的B2B表单）
移动端用户的意图不同（浏览vs购买）

步骤2 — 在调整出价前诊断差距原因

症状	可能原因	解决方案
移动端转化率 << 桌面端转化率	移动端页面体验差	先优化页面再降低出价
移动端点击率 << 桌面端点击率	广告文案未针对移动端优化	测试移动端偏好广告
移动端转化成本 >> 桌面端转化成本	广告和页面均存在问题	降低出价 + 优化体验
移动端转化率 ≈ 桌面端转化率但流量低	出价过低	提高移动端出价系数

步骤3 — 应用出价系数（手动CPC）或为策略提供参考（Smart Bidding）

手动CPC出价系数： 可在广告系列或广告组层级设置。范围：-100%（排除）至+900%。

如果桌面端转化成本 = 30美元，移动端转化成本 = 50美元：
移动端成本比桌面端高67%
移动端出价系数：-25%至-35%（不要完全消除差距——部分移动端转化仍有价值）

Smart Bidding说明： Target CPA和Target ROAS会根据转化信号自动处理设备差异。手动设备出价系数依然可用，但必要性较低——算法会自动处理。可查看“出价调整”标签页了解算法的自动调整情况。

步骤4 — 何时按设备拆分为独立广告系列

在以下情况时，拆分为设备专属广告系列：

设备间转化率差异超过50%，且流量足够支持独立优化
希望为不同设备使用不同落地页（如移动端专属落地页）
适合采用不同出价策略（如移动端用手动出价，桌面端用Smart Bidding）

结构示例：

广告系列：非品牌搜索 — Desktop
广告系列：非品牌搜索 — Mobile
→ 在桌面端广告系列中排除移动端（移动端出价：-100%）
→ 在移动端广告系列中排除桌面端（桌面端出价：-100%）

Geographic Performance Analysis

地域效果分析

Geo analysis levels (start broad, drill down)

地域分析层级（从宽泛到精细）

Country → region/state → city/metro → zip/postal code
Start at country or region level; only drill into city/zip if volume justifies it
Google Ads segments: Country, State, Metro, City, ZIP (set in Location report under Reports)

国家 → 地区/州 → 城市/都会区 → 邮编
从国家或地区层级开始；仅当流量足够时才深入到城市/邮编层级
Google Ads细分维度：国家、州、都会区、城市、邮编（在报告中的位置报告中设置）

How to pull geo data

如何提取地域数据

Google Ads UI: Reports → Predefined Reports → Geographic Include: Location type (set to "City" or "Region"), Impressions, Clicks, Cost, Conversions, Conv. Rate, Cost/Conv., and ROAS

Google Ads UI： 报告 → 预定义报告 → 地域 需包含的指标： 位置类型（设置为“城市”或“地区”）、展示量、点击量、花费、转化量、转化率、转化成本、ROAS

The geo tiering framework

地域分层框架

After pulling 60-90 days of data, tier each location:

Tier	CPA vs account average	Action
Top performers	≤75% of account CPA	Increase bid +15-25%; consider separate campaign
On target	75%-125% of account CPA	Maintain; monitor
Underperformers	125%-200% of account CPA	Reduce bid -20-35%
Dead zones	>200% of account CPA, meaningful spend	Exclude or reduce -50%

Important: Apply the minimum volume threshold. A location with 2 conversions in 90 days shouldn't move the needle either way — ignore statistical outliers from low-volume geos.

提取60-90天的数据后，对每个位置进行分层：

层级	转化成本与账户平均值对比	行动
高绩效	≤账户平均转化成本的75%	提高出价15-25%；考虑设置独立广告系列
达标	账户平均转化成本的75%-125%	维持现状；持续监控
低效	账户平均转化成本的125%-200%	降低出价20-35%
无效区域	转化成本>账户平均的200%，且花费可观	排除或降低出价50%

重要提示： 需满足最低流量阈值。90天内仅2次转化的位置，无论转化成本是200美元，都不足以影响整体效果——忽略低流量地域的统计异常值。

Geo bid adjustments vs geo exclusions

地域出价调整vs地域排除

Use bid adjustments when:

Some conversions still come from the location (don't want to fully cut)
CPA is above target but not catastrophically so
You want to reduce exposure while retaining some presence

Use exclusions when:

Zero conversions over 90+ days with meaningful spend
Business explicitly doesn't serve that location
Legal/compliance restrictions

Use geo-specific campaigns when:

A location is so important it deserves its own budget (top city drives 30%+ of revenue)
The location needs different ad copy or landing pages (local language, local offers)
You want independent optimization without other locations affecting the learning

使用出价调整的场景：

该位置仍能带来转化（不想完全切断）
转化成本高于目标但未到灾难性程度
希望减少曝光但保留一定存在感

使用排除的场景：

90+天内0转化且花费可观
业务明确不服务该位置
存在法律/合规限制

使用地域专属广告系列的场景：

该位置至关重要，值得单独分配预算（如顶级城市贡献30%以上收入）
该位置需要专属广告文案或落地页（如本地语言、本地优惠）
希望独立优化，不受其他位置的学习数据影响

Geo-specific ad copy opportunity

地域专属广告文案机会

When you identify top-performing regions, consider geo-targeted ad copy:

"Serving [City] Businesses Since 2018"
"Same-Day Delivery in [Metro Area]"
"[State]-Based Support Team"

Set up location-targeted ad customizers or separate campaigns with location callouts.

当识别出高绩效区域时，可考虑使用地域定向广告文案：

“自2018年起服务[城市]企业”
“[都会区]当日送达”
“[州]本地支持团队”

设置位置定向广告自定义器或创建带位置标注的独立广告系列。

Day-of-Week and Hour-of-Day Analysis

星期与时段分析

How to pull dayparting data

如何提取时段投放数据

Google Ads UI: Reports → Predefined Reports → Time → Day of Week or Hour of Day Or: Segment any report by "Day of week" or "Hour of day"

Important: Pull at least 60 days to average out day-to-day variance. A single bad Tuesday skews a 7-day dataset.

Google Ads UI： 报告 → 预定义报告 → 时间 → 星期或时段或：在任意报告中按“星期”或“时段”进行细分

重要提示： 至少提取60天的数据以消除单日波动。单个表现不佳的周二会扭曲7天数据集的结果。

Reading the time report

解读时段报告

B2B patterns (typical):

Weekday 9am-6pm: highest CVR (users at work, decision-making mode)
Evenings and weekends: much lower CVR, sometimes 40-60% higher CPA
Tuesday-Thursday: typically best conversion days

B2C / e-commerce patterns (more varied):

Evenings often peak (7pm-10pm): browsing after work
Weekend behavior varies by category
Seasonal events shift patterns significantly — don't rely on a June analysis for November

What to look for:

Hours or days where CPA exceeds 2× account average with meaningful spend
Hours or days where CVR is 1.5× or better — potential bid increase territory
Overnight hours (12am-5am) — often low intent, worth reducing unless international

B2B典型模式：

工作日9am-6pm：转化率最高（用户处于工作状态，决策模式）
晚间和周末：转化率大幅降低，转化成本有时高出40-60%
周二至周四：通常是转化表现最佳的日子

B2C/电商模式（更多样）：

晚间通常达到峰值（7pm-10pm）：下班后浏览
周末行为因品类而异
季节性活动会显著改变模式——不要用6月的分析结果指导11月的投放

需要关注的点：

转化成本超过账户平均值2倍且花费可观的时段或日期
转化率达到平均值1.5倍及以上的时段或日期——可考虑提高出价
夜间时段（12am-5am）——通常用户意图低，除非面向国际市场，否则值得降低出价

Applying ad schedules

设置广告排期

In Google Ads: Campaign → Settings → Ad Schedule

Option 1 — Bid modifiers on specific time windows Keep running 24/7 but reduce bids during poor hours:

Weekdays 6am-10pm: 0% modifier (baseline)
Weekends: -25% modifier
Weeknights 10pm-6am: -40% modifier

Option 2 — Full exclusions (only if data is compelling) Stop ads entirely during specific windows:

Reserve for windows with zero conversions over 90 days
Be cautious: even off-peak traffic may assist conversions that close later

Smart Bidding note: Like devices, Smart Bidding automatically adjusts for time-of-day signals. Manual ad schedule modifiers still apply on top of Smart Bidding, so use them to further amplify or dampen patterns the algorithm is already seeing.

在Google Ads中： 广告系列 → 设置 → 广告排期

选项1 — 对特定时段设置出价系数 保持24小时投放，但在低效时段降低出价：

工作日6am-10pm：0%系数（基准）
周末：-25%系数
工作日夜间10pm-6am：-40%系数

选项2 — 完全排除（仅当数据足够有说服力时） 在特定时段完全停止投放广告：

仅适用于90天内0转化的时段
需谨慎：即使非高峰流量也可能助力后续转化

Smart Bidding说明： 与设备维度类似，Smart Bidding会自动针对时段信号进行调整。手动广告排期系数仍会叠加在Smart Bidding之上，因此可用于进一步放大或削弱算法已识别的模式。

Cross-Segment Analysis

跨维度细分分析

The most powerful insights come from combining dimensions. Pulling device + geo + time simultaneously reveals patterns that disappear in aggregate data.

Example: Mobile + Weekend + Evening A B2B SaaS account might find that desktop conversions on weekday mornings cost $28 CPA while mobile conversions on weekend evenings cost $94 CPA — a 3× gap. Aggregate "mobile" CPA of $51 would understate the mobile opportunity (weekday mobile is fine) and obscure the weekend waste.

How to cross-segment in Google Ads: Use the Segment dropdown on reports to layer dimensions. Or use Google Ads scripts to pull multi-dimension reports (see

google-ads-scripts

skill).

Cross-segment decision matrix:

Finding	Action
Mobile + specific city dramatically underperforms	Geo exclusion for mobile in that city only (use ad group level)
Desktop + business hours dramatically outperforms	Increase bid for desktop during business hours
Weekends perform well in B2C but poorly in B2B	Split campaigns: brand (run all week) vs. non-brand (weekdays only)

最有价值的洞察来自维度组合。同时提取设备+地域+时间维度的数据，能揭示在聚合数据中消失的模式。

示例：移动端+周末+晚间 某B2B SaaS账户可能发现，工作日上午桌面端转化的成本为28美元，而周末晚间移动端转化的成本为94美元——差距达3倍。移动端整体转化成本51美元会低估移动端的机会（工作日移动端表现良好），同时掩盖周末的无效花费。

如何在Google Ads中进行跨维度细分： 使用报告中的“细分”下拉菜单叠加维度。或使用Google Ads脚本提取多维度报告（查看

google-ads-scripts

技能）。

跨维度决策矩阵：

发现	行动
移动端+特定城市表现极差	在该城市的移动端设置地域排除（在广告组层级操作）
桌面端+工作时段表现极佳	提高桌面端在工作时段的出价
B2C场景下周末表现良好，但B2B场景下周末表现差	拆分广告系列：品牌广告（全周投放）vs非品牌广告（仅工作日投放）

Smart Bidding and Segmentation Modifiers

Smart Bidding与细分维度系数

When Smart Bidding (tCPA, tROAS, Max Conversions) is active, the algorithm already factors in:

Device (automatically)
Time of day and day of week (automatically)
User location (automatically)

What manual modifiers still do with Smart Bidding: They set a ceiling or floor on the algorithm's natural adjustments. A -50% device modifier tells the algorithm: "Even if you think this device is worth bidding on, cap your bid at 50% of your base."

When to still set manual modifiers with Smart Bidding:

You have business reasons to exclude (no call center on weekends, no service in certain states)
The algorithm is consistently over-investing in a segment you know is structurally poor
You want to fully exclude a device or geo the algorithm keeps testing

Avoid: Over-riding Smart Bidding with aggressive manual modifiers on every dimension. You'll prevent the algorithm from finding opportunities you haven't identified yet.

当启用Smart Bidding（tCPA、tROAS、Max Conversions）时，算法已自动考虑以下因素：

设备（自动）
时段和星期（自动）
用户位置（自动）

手动系数在Smart Bidding中的作用： 它们为算法的自然调整设置上限或下限。-50%的设备系数意味着：“即使算法认为该设备值得出价，也将出价上限设为基准出价的50%。”

在Smart Bidding下仍需设置手动系数的场景：

因业务原因需要排除（如周末无客服、某些地区不提供服务）
算法持续过度投入到你已知结构低效的细分维度
你想完全排除算法持续测试的设备或地域

避免： 对每个维度都设置激进的手动系数来覆盖Smart Bidding。这会限制算法发现你尚未识别的机会。

跨维度分析：提取设备+时间组合数据，寻找隐藏模式

Common Mistakes

常见错误

Acting on low-volume segments A geo with 3 conversions over 90 days — even if CPA is $200 — doesn't have enough data to act on. Applying a -50% bid modifier based on 3 data points can cut a segment that would have performed well with more budget.

Setting modifiers and never reviewing them Ad schedule and device modifiers set in 2023 may be wrong in 2025. Seasonality, product changes, and audience shifts all alter segment performance. Review quarterly.

Excluding all mobile without diagnosing why Mobile underperformance is usually a landing page or form problem, not an inherent device problem. Fix the experience first; then if CPA is still poor, reduce the bid.

Over-segmenting with Smart Bidding If Smart Bidding has enough data, let it do the segment optimization. Adding manual modifiers on top of every dimension constraints the algorithm and can lower total conversion volume.

Ignoring the time lag in geo data If your window is 30 days, conversions from the last 7-10 days may still be counting. Pull geo reports with a 30-day lag buffer on recent data for large-ticket/long-cycle businesses.

针对低流量细分维度采取行动 90天内仅3次转化的地域——即使转化成本为200美元——也没有足够的数据支持行动。基于3个数据点设置-50%的出价系数，可能会削减原本在更多预算下表现良好的细分维度。

设置系数后不再复查 2023年设置的广告排期和设备系数在2025年可能不再适用。季节性变化、产品更新和受众转变都会改变细分维度的表现。需每季度复查。

未诊断原因就完全排除移动端 移动端表现不佳通常是落地页或表单的问题，而非设备本身的问题。先优化体验；如果转化成本仍然过高，再降低出价。

在Smart Bidding下过度细分 如果Smart Bidding有足够的数据，让算法来处理细分维度优化。在每个维度上添加手动系数会限制算法，可能降低总转化量。

忽略地域数据的时间滞后 如果你的数据窗口是30天，最近7-10天的转化可能仍在统计中。对于高价/长周期业务，提取地域报告时需对近期数据设置30天的滞后缓冲。
