Comparable ROAS on governed definitions

SourceMedium pulls Meta Ads campaign data and joins it with Shopify orders to calculate real return on ad spend—not what Meta's attribution window claims, but what your data actually shows.

Meta Ads

Paid media and affiliate channels used to analyze spend efficiency, attribution, and growth performance.

Why Meta Ads?

Meta's attribution is optimistic. SourceMedium connects Meta spend to actual orders in BigQuery, giving you first-touch, last-touch, and data-driven attribution models you can trust for budget allocation.

Cross-channel attribution

Meta ads can be analyzed alongside Google, TikTok, and lifecycle touchpoints using the same documented attribution models. Causal incrementality requires an experiment or separate causal methodology.

Campaign hierarchy

Campaigns, ad sets, and ads are preserved with full metadata for granular performance analysis.

Creative performance

Track which images, videos, and copy variations drive actual revenue—not just clicks.

Audience insights

Age, gender, region, and placement breakdowns help you understand who's converting.

What you can ask

With the AI Analyst, you can query Meta Ads data using natural language. Here are some examples.
