When running ad campaigns on Meta, event match quality (EMQ) is one of the most critical yet often overlooked factors affecting performance. EMQ determines how effectively Meta can match your event data—such as page views, product views, or purchases—to real user accounts.
A high EMQ score means Meta successfully identifies the users taking action on your website, allowing for better audience targeting and ad personalization. But what happens when your EMQ score is low?
The Problem with Poor Event Match Quality
A poor EMQ score signals that Meta can’t match your event data to user accounts, leading to inefficient ad delivery. This happens due to:
?Insufficient parameters – Meta lacks enough data points to identify users.
?Broken event data – Incomplete or incorrect signals disrupt audience targeting.
When your EMQ score is low, even increasing your ad budget won’t significantly improve performance because Meta struggles to find the right audience. Scaling becomes difficult, and return on ad spend (ROAS) takes a hit.
How a Good/Great EMQ Score Boosts Campaign Performance
Meta has consistently emphasized that improving EMQ is key to better ad performance. When your event data is accurate and complete, Meta can:
?Match users more effectively to their accounts in Meta’s database.
?Deliver personalized ads to the right audience at the right time.
?Enhance your return on ad spend (ROAS) by optimizing campaign efficiency.

And here’s an interesting insight: Even if your event match quality is low, sending more parameters to Meta helps rather than hurts. That’s because a well-structured data flow builds signal resilience, allowing Meta’s algorithm to get a fuller picture of your audience, leading to better long-term ad performance.
