Is Last-Click Attribution Still Relevant in 2025? A Complete Guide
- First-Click Attribution – Assigns all credit to the first touchpoint. Useful for measuring brand awareness campaigns.
- Linear Attribution – Distributes credit equally across all touchpoints, making it ideal for businesses with longer sales cycles.
- Time-Decay Attribution – Gives more credit to touchpoints closer to the conversion, which works well for businesses where recent interactions matter most.
- Data-Driven Attribution (DDA) – Uses AI to assign credit based on historical data and user behavior. It’s the most accurate but requires sufficient conversion data for insights.
