In order to track the performance of each marketing channel and its ability to meet those set KPIs, they use an attribution platform.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attribution modeling influences the way an advertiser attributes an event to a marketing channel. For example, three different marketing channels present User A with the same ad, one after the other, and then the user installs the app &#8211; should all 3 channels be credited equally? Should only the last marketing channel be credited? Should the ad with the biggest impact be credited? It depends on the chosen attribution model the advertiser chose.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the most commonly used attribution model is the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Touch Attribution<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it\u2019s important to understand the alternative models.
