Beyond Last-Click: How We Prove Incremental ROAS in Retail Media

By Akhil Gupta·2025年9月9日·5 分钟阅读

摘要

短摘要(3句话):

本文指出,零售媒体网络(RMN)的衡量正从传统ROAS转向增量ROAS(iROAS),71%的广告主将其视为最重要指标,但多数仍依赖旧有归因模型。Moloco推出AI原生的“竞价幽灵”(ghost bidding)方法,通过随机对照试验精准量化广告的因果增量,实测iROAS达253%至1609%,增量转化率4%至29%。该方案为实践者提供了摆脱自归因偏差、实现科学预算分配和持续优化投放策略的可行路径。

长摘要:

传统零售媒体归因面临三大痛点:手动实验成本高、需大规模收入牺牲的对照组(holdout groups)、与ML算法不兼容。Moloco的AI原生平台将增量测试嵌入广告投放决策,通过ghost bidding在真实竞价中随机屏蔽部分用户的广告曝光,形成严格对照组,无需另设隔离组。

该方法核心在于精准定义暴露组和对照组:暴露组只计实际看到广告的用户,对照组只计竞价中本应赢得曝光但因实验被屏蔽的用户,从而排除自然受众噪音。转化统计覆盖实验期间所有购买行为,不限于点击归因,避免低估增量效果。

早期实践数据表明,广告主iROAS从253%到1609%不等,增量转化占比较低至4%的案例也能证明广告的显著拉动作用。这验证了即使传统ROAS不高的campaign,也可能因增量贡献而具备投资价值。

文章强调行业应建立持续增量测试机制,并关注隐私合规:AI原生方法基于实时会话行为和上下文智能,无需cookie或身份信息,契合后cookie时代的衡量需求。Moloco建议广告主依据统计显著性、明确群组定义、全面转化追踪和排除外部干扰等最佳实践来部署。

Cross-channel marketing analytics: how it works in 2026

Cross-channel marketing analytics isn't about putting Meta, Google, and TikTok numbers side by side—they often double-count the same customer journey. Fragmented identity is the real culprit; without a first-party Customer User ID, attribution measures platform credit, not customer value. The article explains that deduplicating conversions across mobile, web, and CTV can lift attributed revenue by 30–60% and improve ROAS by 20%. It walks through attribution models, warns against platform-native analytics, and advises using an independent MMP for true cross-channel measurement. Ad ops takeaway: fix identity resolution first, because AI-driven optimization and budget allocation depend on trustworthy, deduplicated data.
