3. Compare performance across different ad types (e.g., search, display, native, etc.).
4. Evaluate the impact of ad position on user experience and ad delivery.
5. Identify trends, patterns, and anomalies in performance data.

Deliverables:

1. A detailed report summarizing the performance of ad extensions in top vs. side positions.
2. A set of recommendations for optimizing ad extension placement based on the analysis.
