Key decisions covered in this article.

Hold the delivery context steady

If one variant serves mainly on phones and another on desktops, delivery mix can explain the difference. Use comparable placement and timing, or report the imbalance. Record whether the offer itself changed.

Pick a useful result

CTR tells you whether a message attracts clicks. A test for qualified sales also needs a downstream outcome. Review which variant earned useful traffic and whether the difference is large enough to act on.
