Most common questions

Why do Provalytics results differ from platform attribution?

Because Provalytics determines what marketing actually changed, not what a platform claimed credit for. Platform reporting often over-credits the channel closest to the conversion. Provalytics is designed to separate demand creation from demand capture. For more detail, see:

Why can upper-funnel channels look weaker on direct ROAS but still matter?

Because upper-funnel channels often create awareness and intent that shows up later in search, direct traffic, retailer activity, or other lower-funnel outcomes. For more detail, see:

How often do results update?

Results update after new data is ingested and a completed model run is published through the reporting pipeline. Some pages update from the latest published reporting outputs rather than directly from raw files.

What should I look at before making a budget decision?

A strong sequence is:
  1. Proof Report
  2. Incrementality Report
  3. Campaign Performance
  4. Spend Headroom
  5. Budget Recommendations
That sequence helps connect:
  • trust
  • impact
  • efficiency
  • next action

Why might a report not appear in my account?

Some reports depend on both:
  • reporting configuration
  • the required output existing for that client
For example, a report may remain hidden until the client has generated the required result set.
