What is Attribution Window?

The time period after an ad interaction during which a conversion can be credited to that interaction.

What is an Attribution Window?

An attribution window (also called a lookback window) is the defined time period after an ad click or impression during which any resulting conversion is credited to that ad interaction.

Common Attribution Windows

  • Google Ads: 30-day click, 1-day view (default)
  • LinkedIn Ads: 30-day click, 7-day view
  • Meta Ads: 7-day click, 1-day view (post-iOS 14)

Why Attribution Windows Matter

B2B sales cycles are long, a prospect might click an ad today and convert 3 months later. If your attribution window is only 7 days, you'll miss that conversion and undervalue the ad campaign.
