Lead value post back
Most lead value is settled as $1, which is not the actual value. Google doesn't really get the real value to target more high-value leads.
Attribuly is the first vendor in e-Commerce to calculate the lead value at a campaign level. Hence every Google campaign gets a different lead lifetime value from Attribuly. So Google targets higher value leads when your conversion goal is the "conversion value".
