Why do I need all channel attribution?

When analyzing all marketing campaigns, you might need evaluate how all the marketing activities you have ran lead to conversions in your store.

  1. I want to classify my campaigns into different sorts, so I understand which channel works well.

  2. In more detail, I want to understand the performance of all the campaigns I have.

  3. I want to understand how touchpoints play in the customer journey, so I can adjust my marketing plan.

Attribution for all channels gives a single source to evaluate all the campaigns. We simply categorize all the channels into: Ad, Influencer, Email, Social media, Organic search and others.

Facebook Shop

Facebook Shop supports directly selling on Facebook. Since the tracking pixel cannot be installed, Attribuly cannot directly track user behavior in Shop, but it can attribute orders to the Facebook Shop channel.

Orders completed on Facebook Shop will be attributed to Facebook Shop. If the traffic is directed to your store and completed, it will still be attributed to the corresponding Facebook ad.

Facebook shop orders can't be attributed back to a specific ad.

Shopify POS

If the order is placed in your offline store, and there is no online touchpoint information. This order will be attributed to a POS order.

Contact create attribution

For B2B and B2C eCommerce, understanding the conversion path of each contact will help you

  • Analyze the ROI of every contact.

  • Insight into user registration path

  • Use registration data to optimize ad placement. For example, the overall GMV /total number of contacts of the store can be used to derive the average value of the lead. This value can be used as a reference for the bidding target of ad placement to optimize the acquisition cost of the lead continuously.

Attribuly Pixel automatically tracks all registration behaviors of your store and displays them in Live events and attributions.

  • Attribuly can also distinguish new leads and re-engage leads.

  • As a conversion goal, the attribution model also affects credits received by campaigns.

  • Attribuly can only track contacts created after installation

No configuration is required since Attribuly works automatically. You will find some additional columns:
