ADVICE

Optimize Attribution Windows

  • Use a 90-day click-through window for established e-commerce brands to maximize tracking accuracy.
  • Set YouTube engaged view window to one day to avoid inflated attribution from repeated exposures.
INSIGHT

Engaged View Can Inflate ROAS

  • Engaged view attribution can mislead by crediting conversions influenced by other channels.
  • This inflates perceived YouTube ROAS, often overstating true campaign effectiveness.
ADVICE

Set Short Windows for Impressions

  • Keep engaged view and view-through attribution windows short, around one to three days.
  • Use a longer 90-day window for click-through to accurately track conversion origins.
