Short answer
A view-through conversion is a conversion that occurs after a person saw an ad but did not click it, within a defined lookback window such as one day. It helps credit display, video, and CTV ads that influence behavior without clicks. Because some of these conversions would have happened anyway, view-through counts can overstate impact.
