What is an assisted conversion in Google Analytics (Universal)?

1- Definition

As defined by Google, Assisted Conversions are the number of sales and conversions the channel assisted. If a channel appears anywhere—except as the final interaction—on a conversion path, it is considered an assist for that conversion.

 

In simpler terms, assisted conversions are the interactions that a customer has with a website leading up to a conversion, but not the final interaction. These interactions are assigned a value based on the transaction they contributed to create. It is also important to note that Assisted Conversion values can be higher than total Conversions.

As stated by Google, Assisted Conversions for a given channel counts all conversions in which that channel was a non-last interaction. Assisted Conversion Value is the total value associated with those conversions. As as result, double-counting can occur across rows or across assisted and last conversions.
