Marketing attribution

Interpret channel reports using models that allocate credit among touchpoints on a conversion path.

Method · Marketing

Core concepts

• Touchpoints: observable interactions with ads or channels
• Attribution model: a rule or estimation method for allocating credit
• Measurement boundary: collection scope and conversion definitions

Application

When channels report differently on the same conversion, check the model, time window and collection conditions together.

Limitations and jurisdiction

Attribution allocates observed conversions. It does not directly demonstrate incremental effects compared with not advertising.

Editorial perspectives

• Operating reports: compare trends under the same model.
• Causal checks: evaluate budget changes with separate evidence such as controlled experiments.
