The Facebook Ads conversion window is an essential setting that helps you fine-tune campaign performance.
The Facebook Ads conversion window is an essential setting that helps you fine-tune campaign performance. It dictates how long Facebook should look back to attribute a conversion, directly impacting ad delivery and effectiveness.
What is the Conversion Window?
The conversion window specifies the period Facebook should consider for attributing conversions. It can be set for clicks, views, or a combination. Options include:
- 1-Day Click: Captures users who convert quickly after engaging with your ad.
- 7-Day Click: Ideal for products with longer decision-making cycles, like high-value items.
- 1-Day Click or View: Suitable for campaigns targeting a broader audience, combining clicks and views.
- 7-Day Click or 1-Day View: The default and recommended option for most advertisers. This window optimizes for conversions within 7 days after a click or 1 day after viewing your ad.
Conversion Window vs. Attribution Window
Understanding the difference between the conversion window and attribution window is key. The conversion window determines ad optimization and delivery, while the attribution window focuses on analysis and reporting in Facebook Ads Manager. For example, you can use the attribution window to track user actions like video views or clicks that occur after someone interacts with your ad.
Which Conversion Window Should You Use?
The best conversion window depends on your business type and sales cycle:
- Low-cost or impulse-buy products: Use a 1-Day Click window to capture quick conversions.
- High-cost or high-consideration products: A 7-Day Click or 1-Day View window works better, as it accounts for a longer decision-making process.

To change the conversion window, navigate to the ad set level in your campaign under the "Optimization & Delivery" settings. Select the desired conversion window from the drop-down menu and save your changes.
