Expanding Measurement Partnerships and Updating View Tags

May 15, 2018·3 min read

Summary

Facebook is expanding its measurement partnerships to provide businesses with more tools to measure ad performance. They now have over 40 partners across specialties like marketing mix modeling, viewability, mobile app measurement, reach, attribution, brand lift, and sales lift. New partners include Meetrics, DoubleVerify, and Branch.

Additionally, Facebook is updating view tags, which were originally designed for desktop and are less effective on mobile. Starting July 1, new campaigns will use updated view tags that only count impressions for verification, not for other measurement. Existing campaigns will update by October 1.

Facebook recommends using approved measurement partners for more holistic insights.

Cross-platform measurement: the complete guide for 2026

Cross-platform measurement resolves the common problem of fragmented, device-level reporting that inflates ROAS and misallocates budgets. By unifying customer identity across web, mobile, CTV, and other surfaces, marketers gain a single view of LTV and attribution. AppsFlyer provides this via CUID stitching and Product Line grouping, enabling real-time, deduplicated insights without manual BI work. Key benefits include accurate cross-platform ROAS, elimination of duplicate attribution, and reliable data for AI-driven optimization.

Marketing attribution: what it is and how to measure it

Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.

6 reasons why mobile apps set the gold standard for omni-channel measurement

Mobile app measurement has solved the single-channel problems that plague other digital channels—independent attribution (neutral third-party verification), privacy regulation (survived iOS 14.5 with new methods), signal governance (provenance, chain of custody), fraud detection (15% fraudulent installs, 275% fake installs in some channels), and cross-platform fragmentation. These capabilities, built under duress, now form the foundation for omnichannel measurement. Ad ops must apply mobile-grade rigor per channel first, then connect via CUID, unified attribution logic, and real-time data governance to build a trusted cross-platform framework.
