QA Your Data
- Create the desired report in the Baidu UI for the required date range. Then, process the relevant Data Stream in Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines for the exact same date range.
- There are three types of Baidu reports that Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines can retrieve:
- Ad Group Report - The default report when no Extended Properties are selected
- Keywords Report - This is retrieved when ‘Get Keywords’ is selected in the Extended Properties
- Conversions Report - This is retrieved when ‘Get Conversions’ is selected in the Extended Properties
- Create a Report/Pivot Table within Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines containing the exact same Dimensions and Measurements for the same report and date range.
- Compare the Measurement Totals and make sure they’re aligned.
- To ensure that you’ve mapped the Entity relationships correctly, filter the Baidu report for a certain Dimension value and make sure that the list of associated Dimensions seen in the Baidu report corresponds to what you see in Intelligence Data Pipelines when the same filtering is applied.
- Under the above filtering, make sure that the Measurement values are aligned as well.
