Aggregated Event Measurement (AEM).

Definition

What it means.

Aggregated Event Measurement (AEM) is Meta’s approach to measuring ad-related conversion events when privacy restrictions limit available user-level data. Web and app measurement have different requirements. Implementation work should follow Meta’s current guidance for the relevant campaign and data source.

Worked example

In practice.

A team compares Meta’s iOS conversion reporting with its own purchase records. Before interpreting a gap, it checks the event definitions, attribution windows, reporting delays, and measurement setup. It treats the reports as different measurement views rather than assuming that one prioritized event explains every difference.
