When Apple Search Ads and Facebook both claimed the same high-value cohort
A mid-size game studio running soft launch in Malaysia and Singapore saw overlapping credit between ASA and Meta for players who later purchased. Finance trusted MMP last click; the Facebook partner insisted on assisted paths.
Our audit rebuilt the channel map for a six-week window, flagged a postback delay that inflated late Facebook assists, and showed ASA’s contribution to high-LTV players more clearly once organic bleed was separated. The studio shifted a modest share of budget toward ASA brand terms and tightened the MMP window for non-view claims.
Outcome after one planning cycle: fewer duplicate victory claims in weekly meetings, and a written conflict log the new UA hire still references.
