The three tiers Karbon grades against — and where each comes from
| Tier | Value | What it means | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 50.0% | The floor. Below this, something is broken. | Karbon target |
| Recommended | 75.0% | The tier a healthy campaign should hit. | Karbon target |
| Excellent | 90.0% | Top-tier performance worth defending. | Karbon target |
Higher is better for this metric.
Why Pixel Match Rate matters
Low match rate means Meta/Google cannot attribute conversions to the right users, degrading ad optimization. CAPI improves match rate by sending server-side data.
Karbon target
No independent public benchmark exists for Pixel Match Rate as Karbon measures it. The tiers above are Karbon Agency's own grading targets for local-business campaigns, not an industry average, and we don't cite one we haven't found.
How the platforms define it
