This allows the <strong>smec<\/strong> platform to provide an initial, data-backed performance estimate so new items can gain immediate visibility without waiting for individual click history.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776170810840\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the difference between a Product Performance Score and a Neighborhood Score?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Product Performance Score quantifies an individual item&#8217;s historical effectiveness (such as CTR or ROAS), while the Neighborhood Score leverages the &#8220;Neighborhood Effect&#8221; to predict potential based on similar peers in the catalog. <strong>smec<\/strong> aggregates these into a single Ads Performance Score to give a holistic view of a product\u2019s future advertising value.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776170833141\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I segment products based on my own internal business data?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, the <strong>smec<\/strong> Point Score is a custom, configurable attribute that allows you to assign weights based on internal metrics like profit margins, inventory levels, or high-value categories. This ensures that your Google Performance Max and Standard Shopping campaigns are steered by your specific business priorities rather than just platform-level signals.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1776170854082\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why is dynamic segmentation better than manual product grouping?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Dynamic segmentation is superior because it updates in real-time based on fluctuating market conditions, such as price competitiveness or stock changes.
