Attribution
The assignment of conversions, revenue, or leads to marketing touchpoints.
Definition
Attribution describes which touchpoint receives credit for a conversion or revenue contribution. In influencer marketing, this is complex because creator impact often spans multiple contacts, devices, and channels.
Also known as: Marketing Attribution, Conversion Attribution
Why creator attribution is complex
A user may see a product in a story, search for it later, and only purchase days afterward. Last-click reporting usually understates this earlier influence.
Tracking links, creator codes, brand search, direct traffic, and delayed conversions should therefore be read together.
Practical approach
Creator campaigns usually work best with a combined model of direct conversions, assisted signals, and qualitative learnings.
The attribution window should be defined before launch so reporting does not change after results are visible.
