Paid Media Attribution Models
Attribution is not simply about choosing one reporting model and assuming it explains the entire customer journey.
Different attribution approaches can produce different interpretations of campaign contribution.
Attribution models are measurement frameworks, not necessarily proof of incremental causation. Business decisions should consider tracking quality, customer journey data and other available evidence.
Last-Touch Attribution
Assigns conversion credit based primarily on the final tracked interaction before a conversion.
First-Touch Attribution
Focuses on the first tracked interaction associated with a customer’s journey.
Linear Attribution
Distributes conversion credit across multiple tracked touchpoints.
Position-Based Attribution
Places greater emphasis on selected points in the customer journey while distributing remaining credit across other interactions.
Data-Driven Approaches
Where appropriate data and platform capabilities are available, data-driven approaches can be used to evaluate conversion contribution.
Attribution Model Comparison
Comparing models can help teams understand how measurement methodology changes the interpretation of channel performance.

Paid media strategy is the planning framework used to determine which advertising channels, audiences, campaigns, budgets and objectives a business should use to support its marketing goals.
Paid media attribution services help businesses analyze how advertising touchpoints are represented in their conversion measurement and reporting.

There is no single attribution model that is appropriate for every business or customer journey.
The appropriate approach depends on factors such as your sales cycle, data availability, tracking setup and business objectives.
Pricing varies based on the number of advertising channels, account complexity, reporting requirements, attribution needs, campaign volume and scope of work.
