AdjustTurn incrementality into better budget decisions | Adjust
Incrementality testing complements attribution by quantifying the causal impact of marketing spend. For ad ops decision-makers, key insights: match the metric to the business decision—installs for acquisition, revenue for ROAS. Interpret results by checking incremental effect, statistical significance, and organic cannibalization. Use these to guide budget: increase spend when incrementality is significant and exceeds targets; maintain when stable; reduce or reallocate when lift is low or cannibalization occurs. Never mix metrics from different test types.
