1) Generally – the pre-set attribution window for an Ad on Facebook or Instagram to pick up a conversion is: 7 ๐’…๐’‚๐’š๐’” ๐’‚๐’‡๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐’„๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’๐’“ 1 ๐’…๐’‚๐’š ๐’‚๐’‡๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐’—๐’Š๐’†๐’˜๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ

What does that mean?

a) The first part (7 ๐’…๐’‚๐’š๐’” ๐’‚๐’‡๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐’„๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ) – if someone clicks on your Ad today, they will have to convert within 7 days after clicking on it, in order for that sale to ‘potentially’ be attributed to an Ad. If that individual converts after 8 days (which is very common depending on the type of product being sold); then that sale is not going to be attributed to your Ads (even if that is where they saw the product initially). ๐Ÿ˜”

b) The same goes for the second bit (1 ๐’…๐’‚๐’š ๐’‚๐’‡๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐’—๐’Š๐’†๐’˜๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ); if your customer views an Ad today but doesn’t necessary click on it, subsequently still going on to convert after 2 days, their conversion will also not be attributed to the Ad they may have viewed prior to converting if outside of that 1 day window.

Another key consideration to note on top of the above:
– None of the above takes into account those who have opted out of tracking (ios) or have Ad blockers in place to limit tracking.
