  • Patent number: 11481806
    Abstract: Generating an estimate of reclaimed ad spend for an Internet advertising campaign, by receiving a set of keywords, where each keyword corresponds to a paid ad that is supplied to a search engine, gathering a cannibalism score for each paid ad, where a cannibalism score indicates that the presence of a designated paid ad in a SERP reduces the chance that a user will click on a corresponding unpaid listing, and estimating a reclaimed ad spend as the difference between the actual revenue reported for a period of time and an estimate of the expected ad spend for a comparable period of time when de-cannibalizing actions were taken; and reporting the estimate of the reclaimed ad spend.
