revenue (est.) Whether we estimate the brand's revenue is growing, flat or shrinking compared with a year earlier, from the online signals most tied to sales: branded search and site traffic, weighted towards the last three months.
It is a direction of travel, not a figure. We can't see prices, conversion, or sales through retailers and Amazon, so confidence is lower for brands that sell mostly through stockists, or when the signals disagree; with low confidence we only call growth or decline on a big move.
