Evidence dimensions
Evidence matrix
International expansion
Broadening
31 European markets are listed as Coming Soon in the current snapshot.
Geographic expansion is moving faster than self-serve parity across markets.
Primary sourceBuying infrastructure
Expanding
Self-serve Ads Manager beta and expanded buying models are part of the current platform direction.
The market is moving from negotiated pilots toward more repeatable operating infrastructure.
Primary sourceMeasurement
Advancing
Pixel, Conversions API and third-party measurement capabilities are part of the documented measurement stack.
Measurement infrastructure is becoming more actionable, while incrementality and category benchmarks remain a separate question.
Primary sourcePerformance evidence
Immature
Cross-advertiser performance benchmarks are not yet mature enough to be treated as a dependable market baseline.
Teams should avoid converting early platform availability into universal performance claims.
Primary sourceMethodology
Evidence before score.
Each dimension is assigned a descriptive state only when a primary source and an auditable observation support it.
- — Availability, access, inventory and performance are separate states.
- — Primary-source evidence outranks commentary and secondary reporting.
- — A missing benchmark remains missing; it is not estimated.
- — The edition date is part of every conclusion because product states can change.
- — The index is editorial research by Lorenza Volponi / volponi.tech and is independent from OpenAI.
Media-ready findings
9 markets were listed as Available in the audited Ads Manager snapshot dated 2026-08-25.
31 European markets were listed as Coming Soon in the same evidence layer.
The strongest maturity signals are platform access, buying infrastructure and measurement expansion; performance benchmarking remains comparatively immature.
The index deliberately avoids a single score because platform readiness and business performance are not the same variable.
