It’s a somewhat controversial topic among webmasters, but let’s try to explain our logic.
But before we start, make sure that you don’t have the Facebook error “We’re having trouble completing your request. Please try again”.
First, a bit of background. What options do we have:
- 1 day — the time within which a user made a purchase is less than or equal to 1;
- 7 days — less than or equal to 7;
- 28 days — similarly, less than or equal to 28.
What to choose? Logically, we should opt for 1 day because our entire nutra funnel is built on getting the user to buy immediately (countdowns, promotions, etc.).
We have tested all these options hundreds of times and noticed only one thing — choosing a 1-day attribution gives us a more expensive audience cost and a narrower target than 7 days or 28 days. That’s it! Is it worth paying extra?
The “7 days” setting, and even 28 days! yields a similar result but at a cheaper cost. That’s why we stick with the standard “7 days” attribution settings in our work. Sometimes we also use manual bid for driving traffic on Facebook Ads.
