Google Analytics Metric
Web Analytics
Attribution modelling assigns credit for conversions to the marketing channels and touchpoints that contributed to them within Google Analytics. It evaluates how different models - last-click, first-click, linear, time-decay, and data-driven - change the perceived value of each channel in your acquisition mix.

Why attribution modelling matters for Google Analytics users
GA4 defaults to data-driven attribution, but most teams never examine how different models change their understanding of channel value. A channel that appears weak under last-click attribution may be essential for initiating customer journeys under first-click or linear models.
Mapping attribution models into your metric tree connects channel credit to downstream revenue and retention data from your warehouse. This reveals the true contribution of each channel to business outcomes, enabling investment decisions based on full-journey value rather than last-touch convenience.

KPI Tree connects attribution data from your warehouse and maps channel contribution under different models into your metric tree. Compare models side by side to understand how credit shifts.
Assign RACI ownership to your marketing analytics lead. Set alerts when channel attribution shifts significantly and track budget reallocation decisions tied to attribution evidence.
