Question: What is incrementality?
- It's near real-time attribution to fuel short-term business and bidding decisions
- It's a top-level modeling to understand what drives sales including media and all possible external factors
- It's a way to measure if the change in user behavior was directly caused by exposure to an ad campaign
- It's a way to test variations of ad creative against each other

Explanation
Incrementality measures the additional business impact caused by ad exposure beyond what would have happened without the advertising. In Google Ads, Conversion Lift helps compare exposed and control groups to estimate causal impact. This is different from attribution because it isolates lift rather than assigning credit across touchpoints. For offline sales, incrementality helps validate whether media drove additional outcomes such as store visits or store sales.
Why the other options are incorrect
Top-level modeling describes marketing mix modeling, which evaluates broader sales drivers and external factors.
Near real-time attribution supports short-term optimization but does not prove causal lift.
Creative testing compares ad variations, not the incremental impact caused by ad exposure.
