Meta’s New Attribution Model Will Blow U...

The Ecommerce Playbook
About this episode

Meta just dropped a game changing attribution feature, and it could completely upend how you measure ad performance.

In this episode of the Podcast, CTC’s VP of Paid Media Tony Chopp and Paid Social Manager McCay Rasmussen join Richard to break down Meta’s new incremental attribution setting—a behind-the-scenes update that uses continuous holdout testing to determine true incremental conversions in real time.

We cover:

  • What incremental attribution actually is

  • How it compares to 1-day click, 7-day click, and 7+1 attribution

  • Early test results from real ad accounts

  • How this changes your media buying strategy going forward

  • Whether this could finally bring an end to attribution guesswork

If you're a performance marketer, media buyer, or brand owner, this is a must-watch.
