Key Terms in This Article
Ad Spend
Ad Spend is the total amount invested in advertising campaigns. It is measured against Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) to evaluate campaign effectiveness.
Attribution
Attribution identifies user actions that contribute to a desired outcome and assigns value to each. It reveals which marketing touchpoints drive conversions.
Causal Attribution
Causal Attribution uses causal inference to determine which marketing touchpoints genuinely cause conversions, not just correlate with them.
Causal Inference
Causal Inference determines the independent, actual effect of a phenomenon within a system, identifying true cause-and-effect relationships.
Causality
Causality is the relationship where one event directly causes another, essential for identifying specific actions that drive desired outcomes in marketing.
Confidence Interval
Confidence Interval is a statistical range of values that likely contains the true value of a metric. In marketing analytics, it quantifies uncertainty around estimates, indicating the precision of an outcome or causal effect.
Confounding
Confounding is a distortion of the estimated treatment effect when a third variable, a confounder, associates with both the treatment and the outcome. Causal inference methods control for confounding to isolate the true treatment effect.
Marketing Attribution
Marketing attribution assigns credit to marketing touchpoints that contribute to a conversion or sale. Causal inference enhances attribution models by identifying true cause-effect relationships.
