The disadvantages of Algorithmic Attribution

The Benefits of Last-Click Attribution

The attribution model for last clicks has rapidly been able to become one of the commonly utilized attribution models. It credits every conversion back to the ad or keyword that was used last. It is easy to set up for marketers and doesn't require the use of the data.

However, this attribution model doesn't give a full picture of the customer's journey. It doesn't consider any marketing activities prior to conversion. This can cost you money in terms of lost conversions.

These models will give you more insight into the buyer's journey and help you to identify which marketing channels will be most effective in converting your customers. These models incorporate time decay linear, data-driven and linear.

The Drawbacks of Last Click Attribution

The model of the last-click is one of the most popular attribution models for marketing. It is perfect for those marketers who want to quickly pinpoint which channels are the most critical for conversions. Its use should, however be evaluated carefully prior to its implementation.

Last-click attribution is a technique that allows marketers to only credit the final moment of interaction with a customer before conversion. This could lead to inaccurate and biased performance metrics.

The first approach to attribution for clicks rewards customers for their initial marketing contact prior to conversion.

On a smaller scale this strategy is useful however, it can be misleading in the process of attempting to optimize campaigns and show value to individuals.

This approach doesn't take into consideration the effects of multiple marketing touchpoints, so it is unable to give valuable insight into the effectiveness of your brand awareness campaign.
