Opteo doesn't use one fixed date range for every Improvement. It looks for the most recent data that's big enough to make a fair decision.
Fresh data, with enough volume
Recent data reflects how an ad account performs now, but a short period may not have enough clicks to judge fairly. So for each keyword, segment or search term, Opteo starts with a short date range and only moves to a longer one if there isn't enough data yet.
"Enough data" depends on how often similar campaigns convert. For example, if a campaign group converts about 1 in 10 clicks, a keyword with 3 conversions from 10 clicks hasn't had enough clicks to judge, so Opteo waits for more data before suggesting a change.
For keyword bids, Opteo also avoids suggesting a change when the bid was changed recently, so it doesn't judge a bid on data from before you changed it.
Each Improvement shows the range it used, for example "using data from the last 30 days".
Set the shortest date range yourself
Most sections in Algorithm Settings have a Minimum Date Range. Opteo won't use less data than this for those Improvements. Choose a longer range if your ad account has seasonal swings or low volume and you want steadier suggestions. See Algorithm Settings Overview.
