Attribution

The process of figuring out which marketing channels and touchpoints get credit for a conversion. Critical for understanding marketing ROI but often imperfect.

Modern attribution is hard in practice. Customers research across multiple channels and devices over days or weeks. Last-click attribution undervalues top-of-funnel work. First-click overvalues it. Most businesses use a multi-touch model with informed guesses about weighting.
