Ever feel like your PPC campaigns are generating clicks, but not sales? You’re not alone. Tracking the true ROI of a PPC campaign can be tricky. Traditional methods often focus solely on the last click before a conversion, overlooking the complex customer journey. This is where the power of attribution models comes in!
These frameworks help you understand which touchpoints – website visits, social media interactions, email clicks – contribute most to PPC conversions. By analyzing the complete picture, you can optimize your campaigns for maximum impact.
Demystifying Attribution Models: A Kodiak Digital Guide
What are Attribution Models?
Attribution models assign credit for PPC conversions across different touchpoints. Here are some common models:
- Last Click: This model gives all credit to the final ad click before a conversion. (Think of it as the “pat on the back” model.)
- First Click: This model credits the very first ad interaction a user has with your brand. (This might overvalue initial brand awareness efforts.)
- Time Decay: This model distributes credit gradually across all touchpoints, with more weight given to interactions closer to the conversion.
- Position-Based: This model splits credit equally between the first and last touchpoints.
Why it Matters:
Choosing the right model impacts budget allocation and campaign optimization. The Last Click model, for example, might overvalue bottom-of-funnel ads, neglecting brand awareness efforts that play a crucial role in the customer journey.
