Linear attribution distributes credit equally across all touchpoints. Good for understanding the full journey but may over-credit low-impact touches.

Understanding Marketing Attribution Models

Marketing attribution is the science of determining which touchpoints contribute to a conversion. With the average B2B buyer interacting with 20+ touchpoints before purchasing, choosing the right attribution model is critical for accurate budget allocation.

Why Attribution Models Matter

The model you choose directly impacts which channels appear most valuable. First-click attribution will make your awareness campaigns look like heroes, while last-click makes your retargeting look unstoppable. The truth lies somewhere in between.

Industry Benchmarks

  • 67% of marketers still rely on last-click attribution
  • Companies using multi-touch attribution see 15-30% better ROAS
  • Position-based is the most popular multi-touch model (used by 23% of enterprises)
  • Average customer journey includes 6-8 touchpoints before conversion

Choosing the Right Model

For most companies, we recommend starting with position-based attribution. It gives proper credit to both the channel that introduced the customer and the one that closed the deal, while still acknowledging the middle touchpoints.
