Context

How View-Through Conversion actually behaves in agritech & farmer-tech

VTC is the most common cause of ROAS inflation in platform reporting. Meta's default 7-day-click + 1-day-view attribution claims credit for conversions that would have happened anyway via direct or organic. For honest unit economics, look at click-only ROAS. For platform optimization, the algorithm needs the VTC signal to bid efficiently — don't disable, but interpret with skepticism. Triple Whale, NorthBeam, and similar tools normalize this gap.

For agritech & farmer-tech specifically, View-Through Conversion is influenced most by these 5 primary channels — each shifts the metric in a different way: Meta Ads (facebook + instagram + whatsapp — built for d2c, real-estate, and lead-gen.); WhatsApp Marketing (click-to-whatsapp + automation — the channel indian buyers actually answer.); YouTube Ads (video acquisition + retargeting at scale.); Google Ads (search, shopping, youtube, and performance max — engineered for indian unit econ).
