The Conversion Attribution report measures the effectiveness of all touchpoints that led up to a customer's conversion. The information presented in this report uses a last-touch attribution method. This means that we'll display the final touchpoint (platform, source, or medium) that convinced the customer to convert. This can help you measure end-of-funnel activities, identify paths to success, and shape your marketing strategies.
With this report, you will be able to:
Holistically summarize conversion trends
See the value of a contact's activity over time
Identify which touchpoints your customers interacted with before converting
Make data-based decisions after learning which touchpoints were the most effective in your strategy
In this article, you'll learn how to access the Conversion Attribution report and understand the data it contains.
