Unexpected Changes alerts

How Opteo spots sudden jumps or drops in cost, clicks and impressions, and what the alert tells you.

An Unexpected Changes alert (sometimes called a KPI alert) tells you when cost, clicks or impressions suddenly jump or drop in one of your ad accounts. For example, a Performance Max campaign quietly doubling its spend, or a teammate's change cutting traffic overnight.

How Opteo decides what's unexpected

Opteo doesn't use fixed rules. It learns what normal looks like for each ad account first, including its usual ups and downs, and only alerts you when a change is out of character. If an ad account always swings a lot, Opteo allows for that.

It checks the whole ad account first, then individual campaigns. To avoid repeats, you won't get another alert for the same metric within four days.

What the alert tells you

  • Which metric changed (cost, clicks or impressions) and by how much

  • Whether it went up or down

  • The campaigns most likely responsible, so you know where to look first
