Facebook Incremental Conversion Optimization

Updated 

Before diving deep into the Incremental Conversion Optimization, let's first understand what is Incremental Conversion with an example:

Let us assume that you have an ad running that has gained 1000 conversions. The total number of conversions include two different groups of people. The first group of people comprises of those who are likely to convert because of your ad and the second group of people comprises of those who are likely to convert regardless of the ad shown to them. 

In this case, there is a probability that out of these 1000 people, 200 people are from the second group who are likely to convert regardless of the ad. Hence, the remaining 800 people from the first group are the actual users who have been impacted by your ad.

To reduce the ambiguity as mentioned above and optimize conversions irrespective of ad treatment, Incremental Conversion Optimization can be used. You can also use Incremental Conversion to measure the impact of Conversion Lift Study.

With Incremental Conversion Optimization, you can pair a conversion lift test with the explicit algorithmic command and optimize for incrementality. This means that the algorithm will respond to the conversion lift results in real-time, watching the control group to understand who would have converted anyway. It will be de-prioritizing those audiences in the test group while focusing your budget on the subset of your audience which it predicts will drive the lowest cost per incremental sale.
