Introduction

The Predictive Content report is a critical feature in ActiveCampaign that allows users to gauge the engagement levels of different content variants used in a sent campaign incorporating the Predictive Content functionality. This report provides valuable insights on how various segments of your audience interact with personalized content, leading to more effective email marketing strategies. By understanding which variants resonate best with recipients, businesses can enhance their communication approach, fostering deeper relationships and increased engagement with their audience.

How to Access the Predictive Content Report

To access the Predictive Content report, follow these steps:

1. Click Reports in the left menu.

The report will then display the performance metrics of the variants from the most recently sent campaign that utilized the Predictive Content feature.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Once you have accessed the Predictive Content report, you can navigate through its various sections and understand the metrics it provides:

1. **Emails Sent by Variant**: This metric shows the total number of unique sends from all variants in the campaign. You'll see a chart visualizing unique sends by each variant, allowing for easy comparison.

2. **Unique Clicks by Variant**: This section reveals the total number of unique clicks that each variant received. A corresponding chart will illustrate the unique clicks associated with each variant.

3. **Click Through Rate by Variant**: The Click-Through Rate (CTR) is an important metric that calculates the total CTR for all variants in a campaign. It is computed by dividing the number of unique clicks by the number of unique sends. A detailed chart will display the CTR for each variant, providing actionable insights.

4. **Benchmark**: For each variant in the campaign, a benchmark will be presented. This figure is determined by evaluating all individuals who received the specific variant, along with their behaviors on other campaigns that were opened or clicked.

5. **Predictive Content Table**: At the bottom of the report, a table displays crucial information, such as:

  - **Send date**
  - **Campaign Name**
