Auction Insights Trend Visualizer
Free, no signup. Parse dated Auction Insights exports, preserving censored <10% values instead of pretending they are zero.
Paste one or more dated Auction Insights tables. Optional blocks can be a GSC Dates export for average organic position and one same-scope Google Ads report containing Search lost IS (budget). Separate data sets with a line containing ---. Files never leave your browser.

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is uploaded or stored. Anonymous run-level outcome counters may be used for aggregate research; URLs, domains, IPs, and identifiers are never included, and no statistic is released below 100 runs.
How to use it
- Export Auction Insights at a consistent daily, weekly, or monthly granularity. Every Auction Insights table needs its own Date, Week, or Month column.
- Paste or upload one table, or separate multiple dated tables with a line containing
---. - Optionally add a GSC Dates export for average organic position and one same-scope Google Ads report with Search lost IS (budget). Optional blocks are identified by their headers, not their order.
- Select Analyze, choose impression share, overlap rate, or outranking share, and toggle competitors. Download the evidence CSV or the current chart as PNG.

How to read the result
Competitor is the display URL domain from the export. Each metric retains its own exact, censored-boundary, or missing state. Dashed chart segments touch at least one censored value for the selected metric. The optional organic-position line uses a separate scale where a lower position is better; it supplies context, not evidence that paid and organic movement caused each other.
Data sources & freshness
The parser recognizes common domain and period headers, converts percentage cells to decimals, and retains the source text and censoring state for every metric. Parseable day, ISO-week, and month labels are sorted chronologically. Confirmed Google update rollout dates come from this site's dated Search Status Dashboard feed. Budget and GSCA free Google service that reports how a site performs in Google Search and surfaces problems with how Google crawls, indexes, and serves it. It's first-party data straight from Google — but you don't need it to appear in results. evidence are aligned to imported dates; no interpolation, forecasting, causal attribution, or competitor scoring is applied.
Features
- Switches among impression share, overlap rate, and outranking share.
- Accessible competitor toggles, text legend, SVG tooltips, and a source-evidence table.
- Metric-specific censored boundaries and missing values;
<10%and--are never silently converted to exact zero. - Multiple dated Auction Insights blocks, optional GSC average-position overlay, and confirmed Google update bands.
- Optional direct budget evidence plus CSV and PNG exports, all processed locally.
Limitations
- Algorithm-update overlap is timing context, not evidence that an update caused a paid or organic change.
- GSC average position is an aggregated, directional measure on its own scale; the overlay does not create a paid/organic attribution model.
- Auction Insights alone does not reveal budgets. A budget finding requires a direct, exact
Search lost IS (budget)value on a matching imported date. - The browser can reject undated Auction Insights blocks, duplicates, unknown optional blocks, and mixed named budget scopes, but it cannot prove that separately exported reports used identical network, device, geography, campaign, or filters. Confirm that scope yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which Auction Insights columns are required?
The export needs Display URL domain, Impression share, Overlap rate, and Outranking share. Include a Date, Week, or Month column to create a meaningful trend.
How does the tool handle values such as less than 10 percent?
It retains the boundary on the specific metric that contains it and draws chart segments touching that value as dashed. A missing value such as -- stays missing rather than becoming zero.
What does overlap rate mean?
Overlap rate is how often another advertiser received an impression when your ad also received one. It is not the competitor share of all possible auctions.
Can I compare exports with different campaign scopes?
No reliable budget finding can be made from mismatched scopes. Use the same account, campaign or ad-group scope, network, device, geography, and date granularity in both exports.
Can this diagnose budget pressure?
Optionally. Add a same-scope Google Ads campaign report with Date and Search lost IS (budget). The tool reports only direct, exact evidence on dates found in Auction Insights and never infers budget pressure from competitor movement.
Is my Auction Insights export uploaded?
No. The CSV is parsed and grouped locally in your browser.

Common issues & how to fix them
- Warnings Your outranking share is declining Fix: Review bids, quality, targeting, and auction scope where your outranking share declined.
- Information A competitor’s top-of-page rate declined Fix: Confirm the export scope, compare the competitor’s impression share and overlap, and do not treat this alone as evidence that your ad rank worsened.
- Information Auction trend is highly volatile Fix: Segment the period by campaign or market change and avoid treating the unstable series as one steady trend.
- Warnings Imported Google Ads data shows budget pressure Fix: Confirm the two reports use the same scope, then review campaign budgets and Search lost IS (budget) by date before changing bids or spend.
