Meta has announced that it has updated its advertising system, focusing on improved attribution and optimization.
Important changes:
- New "Conversion Value Rules" - possibility to set value rules for target groups.
- Opt-in to be able to optimize for incremental conversions.
- Optimize and report on profit and predicted lifetime value.
- Direct CRM integration for improved data analysis.
Why this is important: These tools aim to give advertisers more control over campaigns and gain deeper insights into ad effectiveness, which is good news.
The results:
- Advertisers who tested the optimization for incremental conversions saw an average improvement of 20% in results.
- Early testing shows a 30% increase in Meta-attributed conversions as measured using third-party external tools.
Deeper understanding: These updates reflect Meta's drive to prove ad value amid increasing scrutiny of digital advertising's effectiveness.
What are incremental conversions?
Incremental conversions is a term in digital marketing that refers to the extra conversions generated through specific marketing actions, over and above those that would have occurred without those actions. This measures the absolute impact of marketing efforts and helps companies understand the added value their campaigns create
Conclusion
I think this update is incredibly important, as I myself have been skeptical of Meta's attribution models for a long period. It has been difficult to find out how many incremental conversions have occurred due to Meta ads.
