Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census.

## Research questions

### How should rental campaigns count one application reused across several listings?

Zillow allows one paid application to be used for multiple participating properties within its stated period. Separate unique applicants from property-level submissions in reporting, so reuse is not mistaken for new people. This is a provider feature, not a universal rental-platform capability.

### Is a submitted rental application the same as a completed screening package?

Zillow says reports are included when available, but one or both may be impossible to complete. Keep submitted applications, available screening reports and the landlord’s decision separate. A campaign conversion should not imply screening completion or approval unless that status has actually been confirmed.

### What should a rental ad’s application invitation count as?

Zillow describes inviting a renter, completing the form, paying and generating reports as separate actions. Treat the invitation as a handoff and the completed application as a later milestone; neither establishes a signed lease or a move-in.

### Can a rental campaign assume its portal supports custom qualification questions?

Zillow says its application does not support custom fields and notes that components can vary with local rules. Verify the chosen provider’s actual form before promising a tailored qualification flow. A creative brief cannot assume screening features that the destination does not offer.
