Introduction to Event Match Quality
What exactly is an "event?" In digital marketing, it represents any specific action a visitor takes across your various digital channels, such as navigating a website, participating in live chat or interacting with an email campaign. These user-initiated actions are crucial because they provide deep insights into customer behavior and preferences.
As digital technology has improved, marketers can now gather data not only from their own websites but also from other online tools they use. By combining this information, they get a fuller picture of how customers interact with different parts of their business. This complete set of data can be linked to Facebook using special connections called server-side APIs. This lets marketers create more specific ads that are more likely to appeal to potential customers at just the right point in their journey to making a purchase.
So the next logical question is: How effective can this data really be?
To answer this, Meta introduced the metric Event Match Quality, which measures how well sent data matches Facebook user profiles, improving ad attribution and optimizing campaign performance.
Understanding and Calculating Event Match Quality
Event Match Quality measures how effectively the event data you send matches with user profiles on platforms like Facebook. This metric is calculated based on:
- The Customer Information Parameters Received: These are the types of data collected and sent from your servers to Facebook.
- The Quality of Information: This assesses the accuracy and completeness of the information received.
- The Percentage of Event Instances Matched: This indicates how many of the sent events successfully match Facebook user profiles.
Event Match Quality is critical because it determines the precision with which marketers can attribute website conversions to their digital ads, impacting both the strategy and effectiveness of online advertising campaigns.
Meta evaluates Event Match Quality on a scale from 0 to 10, which reflects the effectiveness of your customer information compared to other advertisers in your region.
TrackBee’s Advanced Approach to Event Match Quality
So, the higher the data quality, the more targeted and effective the ads become. Therefore, at TrackBee, we developed a model that enriches data with more events and therefore increases Event Match Quality metrics within Meta.
Unlike typical tracking solutions, TrackBee's Meta Data Enhancement extends data enrichment across all event types, not just transactional events. This means actions like viewing content or adding items to a cart are enriched with additional GDPR-compliant information, such as email addresses, location data, and phone numbers. This personal identifiable information (PII) is always sent hashed/anonymized to ensure privacy and compliance.
This enriched data significantly improves Event Match Quality. With richer data, Meta can more accurately match events to the correct Facebook profiles, enhancing your ad's performance in Meta's bidding process, reducing cost-per-click (CPC) and cost-per-result (CPR), and ultimately improving ad effectiveness.
How Improved Event Match Quality Transforms Campaigns
Improving the Event Match Quality is not just a technical achievement, it provides a competitive advantage. This is how TrackBee's capabilities translate into concrete business results:
- Increase in Revenue: The increased data quality made the ads more targeted and relevant, leading to 122% revenue growth within three months. This growth is a direct result of ads that better match the needs and interests of the target audience, increasing the effectiveness of every ad dollar spent.
- Improved ROI: More accurately targeted ads doubled ROAS, making more efficient use of the ad budget.
- Improved CPM: A 60% decrease in cost per thousand impressions shows that the ad budget is being managed more efficiently, with more quality impressions for less money.
