Audience Comparison overview

Select audience groups and compare their headline behaviour and outcomes.

Updated 9 August 2026

Compare groups on one measurement foundation

Audience Comparison places selected Audiences against the same Incendium sessions, engagement, conversions and revenue definitions. This makes differences easier to interpret than comparisons assembled from separate platform exports.

Incendium Audience Comparison report tabs and controls before an Audience is selected
No Data is the genuine unselected state: choose at least one saved Audience and the relevant date range to load the report.

Set the comparison first

Pick Audiences

Select groups that answer the same business question. Avoid placing many unrelated Audiences in one view merely because they are available.

Set the date range

Choose a period long enough to produce meaningful samples and account for recent changes to Audience definitions.

Review the EBA control

Use the Effective Behaviour Analysis context consistently when comparing engagement-based measures.

The Overview combines Channel performance, sessions and effective sessions, Conversion and Interaction averages, Audience composition, primary marketing-channel statistics, ROAS/LTV measures and new-versus-returning composition.

Devices & Browsers

Find technical context behind performance differences.

Interpret differences carefully

Always check Audience size, composition and definition before treating a difference as an effect caused by membership. Audiences may overlap, and a high-value rule can select people because they already converted. Use the report to identify patterns and questions, then validate the explanation with the relevant journey, campaign or test.
