View-through conversion
A view-through conversion is credited to an ad that was seen but not clicked before the user converted through another path.
— In practice
View-through data answers a real question — did display and video exposure precede conversions? — but as a credited metric it is the easiest number in advertising to inflate: serve enough impressions to enough people and some will buy regardless.
Treat view-through as directional evidence, never as equivalent to click conversions, and validate channels that lean on it (display, video, retargeting) with holdout tests before scaling their budgets.
