How to understand your Business Profile performance metrics?
Performance graph
This allows you to view the evolution of your performance metrics over time.
- Use the date selector to view the data for longer or shorter time periods.
- A shorter time period can be used to focus on performance at a specific time, for example, during a holiday season.
- A longer time frame can give you indication of cyclical trends among your potential customers.
- By turning on the “Compare” toggle from the date picker, comparisons are shown for the time series graph as well. By default, the metric in the scorecard shows a comparison with the previous period selected, even if you don't turn on the comparison toggle.
- If multiple stores are added and some are unverified, an alert banner is shown and redirects to the Stores page to verify the store.
- If only one store is linked and it's not verified, the tab will direct you to verify the store.
