Low-signal features now flagged in MMM results

The MMM page now makes it easier to focus on the channels that matter most. Channels with enough data signal to be robustly measured by your model are highlighted, while channels with minimal spend (less than 0.5%) are grayed out, excluded from iROI, and pinned to the bottom of the table regardless of how you sort.

This helps you zero in on actionable insights and optimize budget where it will have the greatest impact. For smaller channels that fall below the measurement threshold, you can hover over the channel and navigate directly to a matched-market test design page — a better way to measure their true incrementality.

Improvements

Date, Week, Month and Year available as optional dimensions in Attribution tables

You can now add Date, Week, Month, or Year as a column in your Attribution tables — alongside all existing marketing dimensions like channel, platform, and campaign. This means you can build a view that shows a campaign's spend and attributed sales broken out by week, all within the same table.

Combined with the export functionality, this makes customized report generation significantly easier. Pull the exact breakdown you need, export it, and skip the manual reshaping you used to do after the fact.

April 1, 2026
Improvements

MMM page sections are Collapsible

The Incremental/Base+/Base section of the MMM page is now collapsible. If you're reviewing results on a smaller screen, you can collapse that section to get a better view of performance by media segment without scrolling.

March 31, 2026
Improvements

New default options in dropdown period selectors

Last Year, Last Quarter, Last Month, and Last Week are now available as standard options in all dropdown period selectors. No more setting custom date ranges every time you want to check performance from a previous period — just select it and go.

As always, you can compare any last-period view against the period before it to see how your business is trending over time.

March 30, 2026
Improvements

CSV exports from Business Reporting

Unlock deeper insights with flexible data exports directly from Business Reporting. This feature enables you to access raw data for more advanced, customer-level analysis outside Bonsai.

Easily customize your export by selecting your desired reporting period, markets, and metrics, and choose the level of aggregation that fits your needs — daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

With a single click, download a CSV file that’s ready for use in tools like Excel or Google Sheets, giving your team the flexibility to explore, analyze, and act on your data with precision.

Did you know?

Market Selector

Want to test a new channel, tactic, or investment strategy but not sure where to start? Market Selector makes it easy to design statistically sound matched market tests in just a few clicks.

Simply select your time period, platform, and business KPI, and the tool will automatically generate recommended matched markets based on historical performance. You can review multiple match options, compare similarity scores, and validate that your selected markets are truly comparable before launching.

By removing the manual work and guesswork typically involved in market selection, Market Selector helps you set up cleaner experiments faster. The result is more reliable test outcomes, greater confidence in your measurement, and clearer insight into the true impact of your marketing investments.

March 25, 2026
Did you know?

Detailed Order Attribution

You can view attribution based on when an actual sale occurred — not just when a click happened. Detailed Order Attribution lets you answer questions like which marketing channels contributed to the sales that closed in a specific reporting month.

While the main Attribution page shows results at the campaign level, Detailed Order Attribution lets you drill deeper — by landing page, creative, or any other analytics tag available in your dataset. You can see what drove leads, sales, or gross profit on a given date, and view the daily mix by channel or platform.

This feature is available inside Multi-Touch Attribution.

Marketing Mix Modeling shows most recent month of data

Marketing Mix Modeling now defaults to the most recent month with available data / results, so you see meaningful data immediately. No more confusion from empty views.

March 20, 2026
Improvements

Bug fixes

Budget Planner: The “% change by feature” functionality for all available months has been fixed. This feature allows you to use a previous month’s actual budget as a baseline, and adjust spend up and down in order to hit a future month’s target and budget.

March 19, 2026
Bug fixes

Day-of-week alignment for year-over-year comparisons

Business Reporting now supports day-of-week alignment for year-over-year comparisons. Instead of comparing a Monday this year to whatever calendar date fell a year ago — which might have been a Saturday — each day is matched to the closest corresponding day of the week from the prior year.

This gives you a more apples-to-apples view of performance, which is especially valuable for businesses with strong weekly seasonality. By aligning trends by day of week in daily view, you get a more accurate read on performance shifts, seasonal patterns, and true business momentum.

The setting is available now in Business Reporting when viewing year-over-year comparisons in daily view.

March 18, 2026
Improvements

Business goal pipeline

If your finance or analytics team already maintains monthly KPI targets in a cloud warehouse or Google Sheet, you no longer need to manually duplicate them inside Bonsai. The Business Goal Pipeline connects directly to your existing data sources and pulls goal targets into your Business Reporting page automatically.

This feature creates a dynamic pipeline that syncs goals from multiple sources, so your team always measures performance against the latest targets — without maintaining them in two places. The result is better data integrity, fewer manual workflows, and a single, reliable source of truth for goal tracking.

To get started, share your goal data source with your Bonsai team and they'll configure the pipeline for you.

Improvements

Business Reporting: consolidate KPI picker

The Business Reporting page is now even easier to navigate. Control which KPIs are visible (and in what order) across the entire page in one consolidated KPI picker.

You're only a click away from identifying how much business you're generated this period, how that’s trending over time, and where in the country you’re winning and losing, giving you the information you need to plan your next marketing move.

March 16, 2026
Improvements

Critical Calendar Events

Critical Calendar Events allow you to annotate important business moments — like product launches, promotions, outages, or other anomalies — directly on your analytics charts. By tagging these events, teams can instantly understand why spikes or drops appear in key metrics such as spend, traffic, or orders.

This feature is designed for marketing, analytics, and growth teams who need clearer context when analyzing performance trends across reporting dashboards, MTA, MMM, Incrementality Testing, and other time-series views.

Instead of guessing what caused a performance change, teams can immediately see the business event tied to that moment in time, making analysis faster, insights clearer, and reporting far more actionable.

March 13, 2026
Improvements

Algorithm Deployment Dashboard

The new Algorithm Deployment Dashboard gives you full visibility into how your predictive algorithms are running — right inside the Bonsai platform.

You can now monitor how many clicks are scored and sent into your ad platforms each day, track average click value over time, and see exactly which campaigns are bidding using the algorithm.

The dashboard also surfaces optimization recommendations, including missed opportunities from bidding constraints and suggested tROAS adjustments. Budget recommendations are coming soon.

The goal is to make the algorithm more transparent and actionable, so your team can see how incremental value is being generated and where additional scale is possible.

To get started, navigate to the Algorithm Deployment Dashboard from your Bonsai account.

March 12, 2026
New features

Child Accounts

Child Accounts make it easy to filter your Business Reporting page by sub-group, all within your existing Bonsai account.

This feature is available to all customers and is especially useful for businesses with multiple brands, franchises, or locations. Leaders of each sub-group get easy visibility into their performance — and only their performance — removing the need to manage tens or hundreds of separate Bonsai accounts.

To get started, share a list of users and the sub-accounts they should have access to with your Bonsai team. They'll set permissions so those users can only see the child accounts assigned to them.

March 11, 2026
New features

Improved Multi-Touch Attribution filters

You can now filter the Multi-Touch Attribution time series chart by channel, platform, campaign, and more.

March 10, 2026
Improvements

Audience Segmentation: send audience lists into Meta

You can now build high-value audience segments in Bonsai and send them directly into Meta — no CSV exports, no manual uploads.

This feature is built for social and performance marketing teams running Meta campaigns. Create retargeting or suppression lists using real customer data like LTV, purchase frequency, and site behavior, then activate them in Meta with a single click. Stop relying on Meta's platform targeting and start using the data you already have.

Example audiences you can activate: high LTV customers, repeat purchasers, high-intent site visitors, and customers likely to churn.

The result is lower CPA, higher ROAS, and less wasted ad spend.

To get started, head to the Audience Segmentation page, build or select a segment, and click "Send to Meta."

New features

Dynamic column widths

Dynamic widths are now applied to toggles and columns on Business Reporting and Attribution. No more annoying ellipses!

March 6, 2026
Improvements

Bug fixes

  • Budget Planner: Entering $0 of spend for a segment of your marketing now results in a forecasted output of 0, instead of the lowest non-zero forecasted value.
  • Incrementality Testing: The Market Selector button now appears on both the Incrementality Testing page and the Tests page, even when you haven’t submitted any tests.
  • Business Reporting: In the Performance by Market table, spend and business results that cannot be associated with a DMA are now located at the end of the table, to reduce noise.
  • Search functionality on Business Reporting and Detailed Order Attribution filters is now fully functional.
