Instead of a stumbling block, attribution should be a game-changer
Attributing marketing efforts to positive campaign impact does more than prove it was money well spent. It shows where to focus more spending and help grow revenue.
Why is Attribution so critical?
Agencies and clients both want to know, is this effort working? What’s the ROI? Where can I improve and yield even better, more effective results? When those questions can’t be answered, well, nerves and relationships can fray.
While attribution can give insights that inform decisions and build solid partnerships between agencies and clients, sometimes that data isn’t always easily or quickly decimated. So, more time is spent on figuring out what it means instead of where to focus on improving marketing efforts and driving revenue.
3 Tactics to Improve Marketing Attribution
ABO. Always. Be. Optimizing. Whatever the tactic or campaign, adjusting it to reach its maximum potential is a winning strategy. Driving that optimization is data. And not just collecting it for collection’s sake. But having a firm grasp on it to guide decisions. Let’s take a look at some tactics to keep in mind.
More than 75% of marketers feel challenges to marketing attribution are missed opportunities for revenue growth.

How can you improve your marketing attribution?
- Understand the data – Remove the fragmented data silo that obscures the customer journey.
- Implement automation – Put marketing software in place that allows sales and marketing to automate and standardize.
- Knowing your cost & revenue – Knowing what success looks like will help frame marketing efforts and how to optimize them to get there.
The Outcomes of Poor Attribution
- Spending (ie. wasting) hours and hours of billable time on campaign attribution rather than working on ways to grow your business. Gaps in serving every buyer feel impossible to close
- Seeing your client’s cost per lead skyrocket and having to explain why
- Burning up valuable time on reporting
- A dramatic increase in your churn rate
The Attribution Solution:
Don’t let data silos obscure a clear and accurate depiction of the customer journey! Consider automating some of your processes.
