  1. Attribution window decides how late after ad interaction a conversion still counts.

  2. Default Meta: 7-day click + 1-day view. Default Google: 30-day click (data-driven).

  3. Real Estate Developers band: CPC 40–280 ₹ · CAC 3,500–35,000 ₹.

Definition

Attribution Window is the time period after an ad interaction during which a conversion is credited to that ad. Common windows: 1-day click, 7-day click, 7-day click + 1-day view, 28-day click. Shorter windows give more conservative attribution; longer give more credit to ads. For Real Estate Developers specifically, this metric sits inside the unit-economics envelope of CPC 40–280 ₹ and CAC 3,500–35,000 ₹, constrained by junk leads from portals and long sales cycles.

Formula

Attribution Window defines how many days after an ad click or view a conversion is credited to that ad.

Attribution Window = N days post-interaction during which conversions are credited

Context

How Attribution Window actually behaves in real estate developers

The attribution window choice is one of the biggest variables in reported ROAS. A 28-day click attribution claims credit for a conversion that happened 27 days after the last ad click — when many other touches occurred between. For honest attribution, prefer 7-day click + no view. For platform optimization, defaults work but interpret reported numbers with the window in mind.

For real estate developers specifically, Attribution Window is influenced most by these 5 primary channels — each shifts the metric in a different way: Meta Ads (facebook + instagram + whatsapp — built for d2c, real-estate, and lead-gen.); Google Ads (search, shopping, youtube, and performance max — engineered for indian unit econ); WhatsApp Marketing (click-to-whatsapp + automation — the channel indian buyers actually answer.); SEO Services (compounding organic growth — pillar/cluster, programmatic, and ai-engine-cited.).
