Facebook continued its efforts to help advertisers move beyond existing metrics and gain a true picture of their return on investment with Thursday’s introduction of a tool designed for telecommunications carriers and operators, Telco Outcome Measurement, pointing out in a post on its Facebook for Business page that its measurement team found that 90 percent of people who made purchases after seeing ads on the social network never actually clicked on the ad, and saying the new tool is a way to bridge that gap.

Telco Outcome Measurement taps into the aggregate, anonymous data Facebook possesses about users’ devices, operating systems, and carriers, enabling telecommunications companies to establish test and control groups with the aim of determining how ads on the social network lead to actions such as users switching devices or carriers.
