Navigating the Attribution Maze: Google's Updates and a Better Strategy for eCommerce
Welcome to the 2nd issue of 'Monday Ad-Ventures' by Oxedent! In this edition, we'll explore Google's upcoming updates to attribution models and how eCommerce businesses can develop an effective marketing attribution strategy.
Google's Attribution Model Changes
Google is set to retire four attribution models—First-click, Linear, Time decay, and Position-based—due to low adoption rates. As these models fade, Google's data-driven attribution approach is expected to boost conversions by 6% for advertisers.
Beyond Traditional Attribution
The "last click" attribution model has become increasingly outdated as customer journeys now involve various touchpoints. To effectively analyze attribution, it's vital to examine each interaction in the customer journey.
Alternative models like time decay and position-based models have attempted to address this issue but still fall short in accurately determining the value of each interaction. The solution lies in attribution analytics, which provides a comprehensive view of the significance of different customer touchpoints by leveraging advanced data analysis techniques, predictive and prescriptive analytics.
Optimizing Your Marketing Strategy
With a clear understanding of influential touchpoints gained through attribution analytics, you can allocate your marketing budget proportionally based on each touchpoint's impact. Customizing your media mix for specific customer segments allows you to optimize your marketing spend and boost conversion rates.
As Google retires these four attribution models, it's an opportune time to reevaluate your marketing attribution approach.
