In cases with high overlap and under-optimized programs, ROI can be significant, but typical outcomes are closer to 5–15% CAC reduction.Depending on your organization, engineering resources can be freed from building and maintaining manual dedicated in-house systems.Keep in mind that CAC may fluctuate seasonally and is influenced by competition. OneView enhances your campaigns with better data, but does not replace a strategic marketing approach.

Attribution Overlap

Typical: 1.5–2.5× duplicated conversionsMost businesses see overlapping conversions in this range, depending on platform mix

ROI Return

Estimated: 5–15% CAC reductionActual reduction depends on overlap and match rate

Marketing Time Savings

Average: 8 hrs/weekEliminates analysts’ manual exploration, reporting and reconciliation work

Engineering Time Saved

Build + Maintain: 5–15 hrs/monthVaries with pipeline complexity and organizational setup

Payback Period

Typical: 2–6 weeksROI is generally positive after one sales cycle, depending on your spend and conversion metrics

To run even more accurate numbers, refer to your platform’s expected ROI returns from using Enhanced Conversions and real-time Audience Management.Your Identity Graph lets you use most non-direct identifiers (e.g. test accounts), so returns closer to the upper end of each ROI range are reasonable.

Calculate Your Attribution Overlap

Use the formulas below to estimate your current attribution overlap and potential savings.

Step 1: Gather Your Numbers

You’ll need:
  • Number of active ad platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.)
  • Monthly conversions reported by each platform
  • Your actual monthly conversions
  • Average Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
  • Hours spent monthly on report reconciliation (marketing & engineering)

Step 2: Calculate Attribution Overlap

Total Platform Conversions = Sum of all platform-reported conversions
Actual Conversions = Your real sales/signups

Overlap Percentage = (Total Platform Conversions / Actual Conversions - 1) × 100

Example:
	•	Meta reports: 800 conversions
	•	Google reports: 700 conversions
	•	TikTok reports: 400 conversions
	•	Total reported: 1,900 conversions
	•	Actual sales: 1,000 conversions

Overlap = (1,900 / 1,000 - 1) × 100 = 90% overlap

Step 3: Estimate Financial Impact

Monthly Ad Spend = Monthly Conversions × Average CAC

Optimization Savings (Conservative): Monthly Ad Spend × 5%
Optimization Savings (Typical): Monthly Ad Spend × 10%
Optimization Savings (Best Case): Monthly Ad Spend × 15%

Example (1,000 conversions, $50 CAC):
	•	Monthly Ad Spend: 1,000 × $50 = $50,000
	•	Conservative Savings: $50,000 × 5% = $2,500/month
	•	Typical Savings: $50,000 × 10% = $5,000/month
	•	Best Case Savings: $50,000 × 15% = $7,500/month

Step 4: Calculate Time Savings

Current Time Spent (Marketing):
	•	Report downloading: 30 min/week per platform
	•	Data reconciliation: 2 hours/week
	•	Attribution analysis: 3 hours/week
	•	Total: ~5 hours/week = 20 hours/month

Current Time Spent (Engineering):
	•	Manual report building/reconciliation: ~10 hours/month

With OneView:
	•	Marketing reporting: 0 hours
	•	Engineering reconciliation: 0 hours
	•	Total Time Saved: 30 hours/month

Value of Time Saved = Total Hours Saved × Hourly Rate
