"In the last-click attribution model, 100% of the credit for a conversion goes to the final touchpoint before the sale. This approach is straightforward and easy to implement, making it ideal for quick analysis or when the last interaction is clearly the most influential - such as a customer clicking on a retargeting ad right before purchasing. However, it ignores earlier interactions that may have contributed to the decision, making it less suitable for understanding the full customer journey."
"In MarTech's "MarTechBot explains it all" feature, we pose a question about marketing to our very own Q: Can I get an overview of the top attribution models used in marketing today? MarTechBot, which is trained on the MarTech website archives and has access to the broader internet. Attribution models help marketers understand how different channels and touchpoints contribute to conversions and sales. Instead of relying solely on intuition, these models provide a structured way to see which interactions deserve credit for driving results."
Last-click attribution assigns 100% of conversion credit to the final touchpoint before sale, making it simple and useful for quick analysis or scenarios where the final interaction clearly triggers purchase, but it ignores earlier contributions and limits understanding of the full customer journey. First-click attribution assigns full credit to the initial touchpoint, which helps evaluate awareness campaigns and acquisition channels, but it overlooks subsequent nurturing interactions. Linear attribution distributes credit equally across all touchpoints, offering a more balanced view when each engagement stage carries similar weight, though it can dilute the impact of disproportionately influential interactions.
