IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE

A cross-functional team applies Offline Conversion Import in a production initiative, defines ownership and success criteria, tests representative scenarios, monitors outcomes and records corrective actions before scaling.


LIMITATIONS

Platform definitions, identifiers, attribution and privacy controls vary, so figures may not be comparable and reported performance may not establish causality.


TECHNICAL EXPLANATION

The process of sending conversions completed outside an advertising platform back to that platform for measurement and optimisation. In operation, this concept depends on defined inventory, auction or delivery rules, identifiers, attribution windows, consent, quality controls and platform reporting.
