Week over week
The week of October 5, 2026 is the first week in our research for home services, so there is no earlier week to compare it with. Each new week is compared with the one before: winning formulas that are new, still running and dropped off.
Using an older week
A winning formula that kept running for several weeks is stronger evidence than one that showed up once. Check whether it is still running on the latest home services page before you build on it, or see the winning formulas that kept winning the longest. Make your own version for your product, never another advertiser’s pictures, names or claims.
