The model attributes all credit for a conversion to the last click or ad interaction that led to the conversion. This model assumes that the final touchpoint is the most important factor in a customer’s decision-making process and disregards the influence of any prior touchpoints. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The most important advantage of the model is that it is easy to understand and implement and can be a good starting point for businesses just getting started with attribution. However, more marketers should remember that the last-touch attribution model can overvalue certain channels, such as search or retargeting, and undervalue other channels that may have directly contributed to the customer’s decision to convert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It’s worth mentioning that click-through and view-through conversions are important and relevant for every type of business because they provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of digital advertising campaigns, allowing marketers to optimise their ad spend and improve their return on ad spend (ROAS). See the two examples below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Example 1\u003C\u002Fstrong>: A company is running a paid search campaign and sees a high number of click-through conversions. In that case, it can infer that the ad copy resonates with the targeted audience and drives valuable traffic to its website. By optimising its bidding strategy and targeting based on these insights, the business can further improve campaign performance. This type of conversion can be beneficial for companies in industries where the typical purchase journey is more prolonged, such as buying a new luxury watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Example 2\u003C\u002Fstrong>: A business is running a display remarketing campaign and sees a high number of view-through conversions. In that case, it can conclude that the prepared ads are increasing brand awareness and influencing purchase decisions even if users do not click on the ads. Marketers can further optimise campaign performance by testing different creative assets and message variations and still be able to monitor the results of their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Chr>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Look out for our next blog in March for more paid search industry updates to inspire your PPC strategy.
