Why Meta Ads's view of lift test is misleading

  • iOS 14.5+ blocks 40-60% of conversion tracking — Meta can't see what it can't track
  • Meta's attribution window inflates ROAS by claiming credit for organic purchases
  • View-through conversions count someone who saw an ad but never clicked — and bought anyway

How causal inference measures lift test for Meta Ads

  • No pixel dependency — analyzes your GA4 data directly, immune to iOS tracking blocks
  • causal inference separates true Meta-driven sales from coincidental conversions
  • Shapley values fairly distribute credit across Meta, Google, TikTok, email, and organic
