Algorithmic Attribution: Its Benefits

Algorithmic attribution (or Attribute Evaluation Optimization or AAE) is a data driven, efficient method of evaluating and optimizing marketing channels. It helps marketers identify the channels that are driving results while maximizing media expenditure across different channels.

Algorithmic Attribution Models are created with the help of Machine Learning (ML), and can be trained and updated over time to continuously improve accuracy. They can gain knowledge from new data sources while adapting the model in response to changes in marketing strategy or products offered.

Marketers who utilize algorithmic attribution see higher conversion rates and higher ROI on their advertising budget. Marketing insights can be optimized by those who have the ability to quickly react to market changes and keep up with their competitors tactics.

Algorithmic Attribution is also a great tool for marketers in identifying content that drives conversions and prioritizing marketing initiatives that bring in the highest profits while cutting back on those that do not.

The disadvantages of Algorithmic Attribution

Algorithmic Attribution is a modern method of attribution for marketing efforts. It utilizes sophisticated machines and statistical models to measure the impact of marketing throughout the customer journey towards conversion.

By using this information marketers are able to more precisely evaluate the impact of their campaigns and pinpoint key conversion factors that are most likely to bring high returns. They can also assign budgets and prioritize channels.

Many companies struggle with the implementation of this type of analysis because algorithmic attribution requires large datasets and numerous sources.

The most commonly cited reason is a lack of information or the tools needed to effectively mine this data.

Solution A modern cloud-based data warehouse acts as the sole source of truth for all data related to marketing. This makes it easier to gain faster insights that are more accurate, higher relevancy, and more accurate results when it comes to attributing.

Last click attribution: Its benefits

Last click attribution has quickly become one of the most commonly utilized attribution methods. This model allows credit to be awarded to the latest ad the keyword or campaign that brought about a conversion. It is easy to implement and doesn't require any data interpretation by marketers.

This model of attribution does not give a full picture of the journey a customer takes. It leaves out any marketing efforts prior to conversion and this could be costly in the event of losing conversions.

Now there are more robust attribution models that can help give you a more complete understanding of the buyer's journey, as well as more quickly identify which touchpoints and channels are most effective in making customers convert. These models incorporate time decay, linear and data-driven.

The disadvantages of Last Click Attribution

Last-click attribution technology is among the most widely employed models of attribution employed by marketing teams and is perfect for those who want an easy method of determining the channels that contribute the most to conversions. However, its use should be considered carefully prior to its implementation.

Last click attribution is the practice of recognizing only the last customer interaction prior to conversion. This can lead to incorrect and biased measures of performance.

But, the first click attribution uses a different method of attribution - rewarding customers' initial marketing contact before conversion.

This strategy is great for small-scale projects, but it could be misleading if you're looking to improve your campaigns, and prove the value to your people who participate.

This method does not consider the impact of conversions triggered by multiple marketing touchpoints Therefore, it's not able to provide useful insights into the effectiveness of your branding campaign.
