When marketing teams search for Attributer vs GA Connector, they’re usually trying to solve the same core problem: figuring out which marketing channels actually drive revenue, not just leads. Both tools are marketing attribution software that capture lead source data into your CRM. GA Connector is a closed-loop marketing attribution platform, it tracks all marketing…

It’s a Tuesday morning QBR and a marketing director is defending a $50k/month Google Ads spend. She pulls up a Salesforce report: 100 closed-won deals last quarter – 60 tagged “Web,” 40 tagged “Other.” Primary Campaign Source is filled in for some Opportunities and blank for others. She can’t point to a single campaign or…

A B2B SaaS marketing director closes Q3 with $800k in new ARR. The Google Ads dashboard claims $480k of it. The HubSpot last-touch report credits paid social ads with half the deals. The content team insists their top-of-funnel blog posts did the real work. Every dashboard tells a different story – because each one is…

Multi-touch attribution is a marketing attribution model that splits conversion credit across several interactions rather than handing it all to a single click. First-touch and last-touch attribution are simpler, well-established starting points — and for many businesses, they are exactly the right tool.

Connected together, they actually…

Two years ago, most marketing teams measured performance by staring at platform dashboards. Google said your ROAS was 5x. Meta said it was 8x. Your CFO said revenue was flat. Each number was “correct” inside its own system. Taken together, they didn’t make sense. Every dashboard told a different story, and no one knew which…

What is a Google Analytics Client ID? A Google Analytics Client ID is a unique identifier that is assigned by Google Analytics to a user when they first visit your website or app. The Client ID is stored in a user’s browser via cookies so user sessions and interactions across multiple sessions are tracked and…

It’s a challenge being in a marketing team. There is this constant pressure of not only driving revenue but also proving that it came directly from the efforts done through marketing activities. Not having the visibility of the marketing performance measurement will mean that you’ll struggle to prove the direct and indirect impact of the…

Introduction You’re wasting money by not implementing full-funnel attribution. B2B sales cycles are usually very long, with as many as 40 touches required to close a single deal. This means that in the entire customer journey, there might be multiple touchpoints that your business is ignoring that might be having a great impact on their…
