thank you email on mobile?

Editor's Notes
- If at first glance this number seems low, realize that it could be way higher after optimizations are made to increase it
Is this only taking AdWords traffic into consideration?
- Much easier to visualize. Preferred by my boss
If data is low, switch to “Based on Impressions”
- Not extremely helpful at first glance, more valuable when you select Campaign, Ad Group or Keyword Segmentation
Most value IMO in ratio column (far right hand side)
