Decoding Algorithmic Attribution: Strategies for Data-Driven Marketing


Algorithmic Attribution (AA) is one of the latest methods that marketers have for measuring and optimizing the performance of their advertising channels. AA maximizes the return on each dollar spent, allowing marketers to make better investments.

Some organizations are not eligible for algorithmic attribution, despite its many benefits. Some organizations do not have access to Google Analytics 360/Premium Accounts which can make algorithmic attribution feasible.

The Benefits of Algorithmic Attribution

Algorithmic attribute (or Attribute Evaluation Optimization or AAE) is a data-driven, effective method of evaluating and optimising marketing channels. It assists marketers in determining which channels are most effective in driving conversions while simultaneously optimizing the spending on advertising across all channels.

Algorithmic Attribution Models (AAMs) are developed using Machine Learning and can be upgraded and trained over time for increased accuracy. They can adapt their model to new ways of marketing or products through learning from new data sources.

Marketers who use algorithmic attribution have higher conversion rates as well as higher results from their advertising budget. Marketers can benefit from real-time information by quickly adapting to changing trends in the market and keeping up with the constantly evolving strategies of their competitors.

Algorithmic Attribution is also a great tool for marketers in identifying content that drives conversions and prioritizing marketing strategies that produce the highest revenues while minimizing those which do not.

The disadvantages of algorithmic attribution

Algorithmic Attribution (AA) is the latest method to attribute marketing efforts. It uses advanced mathematical models and machine learning technology to quantify objectively all marketing activities that occur during the journey to conversion.

With this data marketers can more precisely evaluate the impact of campaigns as well as identify key conversion factors that are most likely to yield high returnsAdditionally, they can assign budgets and prioritize channels.

Many organizations are struggling with this kind of analysis due to the fact that algorithmic attribution needs large databases and numerous sources.

One reason is that the company might not have the right data or the required technology to extract these data efficiently.

Solution: A modern data warehouse located in the cloud can serve as an unifying source of truth to all marketing data. This allows for faster insights as well as greater relevance and more accurate results in the attribution.

The Advantages of Last Click Attribution

It's no surprise that attribution for last-clicks has become one of most popular models for attribution. It allows credit for all conversions to go back to the ad or keyword that was involved, making setup easy for marketers while not necessitating any interpretation of data on their part.

The attribution model used does not give a full picture of the customer's journey. It ignores any marketing activity prior to conversion and this can cost you money when it comes to lost conversions.

There are now more reliable models of attribution that could provide you with a fuller picture of the buyer journey and more easily identify which marketing channels and touchpoints are most effective in turning customers into buyers. These models incorporate linear attribution as well as data-driven and time decay.

The Drawbacks of Last Click Attribution

The last-click model is considered to be one of the most well-known attribution models used in marketing. It is perfect for marketers who wish to quickly pinpoint which channels are the most critical for conversions. However, its application should be evaluated carefully prior to its implementation.

Last click attribution is the technique of crediting only for the last customer interaction prior to conversion. It can result in untrue and inaccurate performance metrics.

However, the first click attribute is a different approach, the customer is rewarded for their initial marketing contact prior to conversion.

At a lower scale, this may be helpful however, it can be inaccurate when attempting to improve campaigns or show the value of your efforts to other all stakeholders.

Because this method only looks at the conversions triggered by one marketing touchpoint, it doesn't provide important insights about your branding awareness campaigns' efficacy.
