  • Description
    “View-through conversions” tells you when customers see, but don’t interact with your ad, and then later complete a conversion on your site. View-through conversions are a helpful way to track the value of your display or video ad campaigns.

    For display campaigns, for example, they measure the conversions where a customer saw—but didn't click—an ad before completing a conversion.
  • Why it is important
    VTC helps you understand the ad's influence on conversions even if there was no direct interaction. Tracking VTC is essential for fine-tuning your ad strategy to maximize its impact on customer behavior and drive more conversions.
  • Formula
    The number of view-through conversions
  • Calculation example
    Let's use specific numbers for illustration:

    Number of ad impressions: 10,000
    Number of users who saw the ad but didn't click: 10,000 - 500 (clicked) = 9,500
    Number of users who later completed a conversion: 100

    In this example:
    View-Through Conversions (VTC)=100
