What are Attribution Settings?
Attribution Settings determine how Meta credits conversions to your ads helping you understand which campaigns and ads are driving results. These settings control the time window and interaction type that Meta considers when attributing conversions to your advertising efforts.
Attribution Window Options:
- 1-day click - Conversions within 24 hours of ad click
- 7-day click - Conversions within 7 days of ad click
- 1-day view - Conversions within 24 hours of ad view
- 7-day view - Conversions within 7 days of ad view (limited availability)
How Attribution Works:
Meta uses your attribution settings to:
- Determine which ads receive credit for conversions
- Calculate key metrics like ROAS and cost per conversion
- Optimize ad delivery based on attributed performance
- Report campaign effectiveness in Ads Manager
Choosing the Right Settings:
Consider your business model when selecting attribution windows:
- Shorter windows for impulse purchases or immediate conversions
- Longer windows for considered purchases or B2B sales
- Industry benchmarks and customer behavior patterns
- Impact on campaign optimization and budget allocation
iOS 14+ Changes:
Privacy updates have affected attribution measurement:
- Reduced attribution windows for iOS users
- Limited cross-app and cross-device tracking
- Increased importance of first-party data
- Greater reliance on modeled conversions
