Example
Your Meta campaigns drove 12,340 product page views in March across three audience segments.
| Audience | View Contents | Spend | Cost/View |
|---|
| Retargeting | 5,420 | $890 | $0.16 |
| Lookalike | 4,180 | $1,450 | $0.35 |
| Prospecting | 2,740 | $1,980 | $0.72 |
How It Works
Meta counts a view content event when a visitor lands on a product detail page after interacting with your ad within the attribution window. The event is captured via the Meta Pixel or Conversions API when the shopper views a specific product page on your site.
