When to Use This Analysis
Time to conversion analysis is particularly useful for:- Setting retargeting windows
- Determining attribution lookback windows
- Evaluating upper-funnel vs lower-funnel performance
- Understanding purchase latency
Source Data
This analysis uses the following fields from the Log Level MTA schema:
Time to conversion is computed as the difference between:
timestamp_conv - timestamp_events
The exact timestamp function depends on your data warehouse:
Example 1: Average Time to Conversion
First Touch vs Any Touch
This query computes:- Average time to convert from the first touch
- Average time to convert from any touchpoint
- Grouped by channel (
tier_1)
Snowflake Example
How to customize
- Add tier_2, tier_3, campaign, or other dimensions to increase granularity
- Change day to hour if you want higher precision
- Expand the date filter to analyze longer time windows
Example 2: Time to Convert Bins
This query counts the number of touchpoints that fall into predefined time-to-conversion bins. Typical reporting buckets:- 0–7 days
- 8–14 days
- 15–30 days
- 31–60 days
- 61–90 days
- Greater than 90 days
