What is Attribution Modeling?

Attribution modeling is the process of assigning credit to different marketing touchpoints and channels that contribute to conversions. Different models (first-touch, last-touch, multi-touch) distribute credit differently across the customer journey.

When to use Attribution Modeling?

Attribution modeling is important when running multi-channel campaigns, optimizing marketing spend, understanding complex customer journeys, or when you need to prove the value of different marketing activities.

When might Attribution be challenging?

Attribution can be difficult with long sales cycles, offline conversions, cross-device tracking, privacy restrictions, or when customers interact with many touchpoints before converting.
