Action Menu

Action Node

API

Attribution Models

Last Interaction:

As the name implies, this model gives 100% of the credit to the last interaction your business had with a lead before they convert. Last Interaction is also referred to as "last-click" or "last-touch."  

For example, a visitor finds your website through organic search. A week later they see a Zeta Ad and click the ad and convert on your website.

The Zeta Ad, in this instance, gets all of the credit for that purchase. 100% of the value is assigned to that last interaction.

This is the default attribution model in most platforms and as such is the default selection on the Attribution page.

First Interaction:

First Interaction is similar to Last Interaction, in that it gives 100% of the credit for a conversion to your business' first interaction with the customer. First Interaction is also referred to as "First-Click."

For instance, if a customer first finds your business on Pinterest, then Pinterest gets all of the credit for any sale that happens after that interaction.

It doesn't matter if the customer found you on Pinterest, then clicked a display ad a week later, and then went to your site directly. Pinterest, in this example, gets the full credit.

Linear:

With a Linear attribution model, you split credit for a conversion equally between all the interactions the customer had with your business.

For instance, a customer finds you on Instagram, signs up for your email list and later clicks an email link. The next week they go to your site directly and make a $120 purchase.

There are 3 touch points in this situation. Each touchpoint gets 33% of the credit, or a $40 conversion value attributed to the channel when the purchase was made.
