There’s plenty of controversy within advertising circles about view-through conversions. Some advertisers embrace them and others ignore them. Meta’s default attribution setting is 7-day click and 1-day view. That means that unless you changed it, conversion reporting is based on anyone who clicked your ad and converted within seven days or viewed your ad without clicking and converted within a day.

So all of your ad sets target this group, thinking you’ll get more conversions. It probably won’t work. Understand that I’m not referring to the cases where your product is only for women or you can’t sell to people under a certain age.
