Attribution Models Explained
Single-Touch Models
- First Touch: Credit to first interaction
- Last Touch: Credit to final interaction
- Simple, but inaccurate for complex journeys
Multi-Touch Models
- Linear: Equal credit across touches
- Time Decay: More credit to recent touches
- U-Shaped: Credit to first and last
- W-Shaped: First, lead creation, opportunity
Data-Driven
- Machine learning determines credit
- Requires significant data volume
- Most accurate when data is sufficient

FAQ
First-party vs. third-party data—why does it matter?
Third-party cookies are dying. Attribution tools using first-party data (your website, CRM) are more reliable and privacy-compliant.
How much data do I need for attribution?
Minimum: 100+ conversions/month for basic models. Data-driven: 300-1000+ conversions for machine learning models to work.
Can I attribute offline conversions?
Yes, with CRM integration. Track lead source, match to campaign, and close the loop when deals close. Harder but possible.
What about iOS 14+ and privacy changes?
Tracking is harder. Solutions: Server-side tracking, first-party data, modeled conversions, incrementality testing. No single fix.
Attribution vs. incrementality—what's the difference?
Attribution assigns credit to touchpoints. Incrementality measures lift (what would have happened without marketing). Both are valuable.
