How do I accurately track cross-platform performance?
Implement a robust attribution tool like Triple Whale. Use consistent UTMs and post-purchase surveys.

Should campaigns run simultaneously or sequentially?
Established businesses benefit from simultaneous launches. Newer businesses can use sequential testing for cost efficiency.

How often should I adjust strategies?
