Despite the dramatic spend increase, total first-time purchases remained frustratingly flat.

The beauty of correlation analysis lies in its ability to provide ongoing incrementality insights without sacrificing campaign performance or requiring complex experimental designs.":1,"#Correlation analysis offers an elegant approach to incrementality measurement, analyzing the statistical relationship between attributed and unattributed install patterns without requiring campaign interruptions. The method shines in real-world scenarios, such as when one advertiser experienced a concerning 13% drop in Apple Ads attributed installs during a crucial December period. Rather than panic, the team conducted deeper analysis, which revealed that unattributed installs also increased by 13% during the same timeframe.

This requires establishing comprehensive baseline metrics encompassing both attributed and unattributed installs over several weeks of normal campaign operation. When you pause campaigns for the recommended minimum of 2 to 4 weeks, the results speak clearly: If your total install volume drops proportionally to your paused spend, your campaigns were indeed driving incremental growth.
