Method of attribution

You can specify additional settings:
  • Attribution to the impression date
  • Attribution to the conversion date
Method of attribution
With these settings, you can choose how to calculate the cost of conversion, as well as Revenue, ROMI, and ACS. This is necessary for situations where several days have passed between an ad impression and a purchase.

For example, a user saw your ad on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, he remembered the ad and installed the app, and on Friday, he made a purchase.

If you select attribution to the impression date, both the installation and purchase will be counted on the date of the last impression — on Tuesday. This type selected by default.

If you select attribution to the conversion date, all metrics will be counted separately: click-on Tuesday, installation-on Wednesday, target event (purchase) — on Friday.
Choose the attribution method that you need for your goals.

To correctly calculate the ROMI and ACS, select the attribution to the impression date: this way the revenue will be calculated taking into account exactly the expense that led to this revenue.

To compare expenses for a period, select the attribution mode to the conversion date. If you compare statistics and deductions when analyzing expenses, use attribution in the event: this way you will see what days the money was debited.
In our example, the purchase was made on Friday, but the impression on Tuesday led to the purchase — so you need to calculate ROMI and ACS taking into account exactly the impression on Tuesday.

It is important to understand that when attributing to the impression date, the statistics for the past seem to change — the number of impressions and clicks stays the same, and the number of conversions increases. This is normal: it may take several days between impressions and conversions.

For example, you want to find out statistics for Tuesday, June 2.
If you open the statistics on Wednesday, there will be 100,000 impressions and 3 conversions on June 2.

If you open the statistics on Saturday, then on June 2 there will be the same 100,000 impressions, but already 5 conversions — impressions on Tuesday led to purchases a few days later.
When attributing in conversion, because of the calculation method you selected, paradoxes may appear in the statistics: the campaign was launched, the expense is already there, but there is no revenue, and the ROMI is zero. After the campaign was stopped: the expense is no longer there, the revenue is there, the ROMI is large.

To avoid these situations, choose attribution to the impression date.
Please note that to calculate the indicators Revenue, ROMI, ACS
