The Click Attribution Window setting within the Meta Ads integration is a vital component that determines how conversions are credited to your ads based on user interactions.
What is Click Attribution Window?
The Click Attribution Window defines the time frame during which conversions are attributed to a click on your ad. Essentially, it specifies how long after a user clicks on your ad that any resulting conversions will be counted as attributable to that ad interaction.
This window helps you assess the effectiveness of your ads by determining how long after clicking an ad a conversion can occur.
Common options for Click Attribution Windows:
1-Day Click:
Converts are tracked if they occur within one day of clicking the ad.
7-Day Click:
Converts are tracked if they occur within seven days of clicking the ad.
28-Day Click:
Converts are tracked if they occur within 28 days of clicking the ad.
Best Practices
Use the following best practices as a help guide when setting up your Click Attribution Window in your Meta account.

Test Different Windows: Experiment with different click attribution windows across various campaigns to determine which yields the best insights and results for your business.
Monitor Conversion Patterns: Regularly check how conversions are reported based on the selected attribution window. Look for trends that indicate whether shorter or longer windows provide more accurate reflections of customer behavior.
Align with Business Goals: Choose an attribution window that aligns with your overall marketing objectives and sales cycle. If immediate conversions are critical for your strategy, a shorter window may be more appropriate.
