Which concept describes determining which marketing touchpoints contributed to a conversion?

• A. Lift
• B. Attribution modeling
• C. Retargeting
• D. A/B testing

Answer: (B)

Attribution modeling is the process of identifying which marketing touchpoints contributed to a conversion. It spreads credit across the various interactions a customer has along their journey (ads, emails, search, social, etc.) to determine which touchpoints most influenced the final action. This helps you understand how different channels work together and allocate budget more effectively. There are different rules you can apply, such as giving all credit to the last interaction, the first interaction, spreading credit evenly, or weighting touchpoints by their proximity to conversion, with data-driven approaches using actual conversion data. Lift focuses on the incremental effect of a marketing activity itself, not on how credit is distributed across multiple touchpoints. Retargeting involves showing ads to people who have already interacted with you to drive them back toward conversion. A/B testing compares two versions to see which performs better, but it doesn’t map credit across the entire customer journey.
