Conversion Journey
When TrueProfit records a conversion from one of your ads, it will start attributing data to the Assisted Purchases and Last-clicked Purchases. All ads that generated clicks but no successful conversions are counted into Assisted Purchases. Meanwhile, the last ad that a customer clicked on and made their purchase is counted into Last-clicked Purchases.
This attribution model is unique in TrueProfit. It records events and reports conversion data cross-channel and cross-device for all of your ad channels. We believe it is a powerful tool for your performance marketing efforts:
Have a comprehensive understanding into your campaigns' effectiveness cross-channel
Mitigate the over-reporting issue from different channels when reporting conversions
Understand the full customer journey without missing out on effective channels that assisted successful conversions
View insightful reports with matching order, customer, and product analytics in one app.
At the moment, the Marketing Attribution report doesn't support tracking for the following ad campaigns: Google Discovery Ads, Google Performance Max, Google Shopping and Bing Performance Max.
The Marketing Attribution report is available in the Enterprise plan only.
Once you've completed the required setup steps and added URL parameters for your ads, TrueProfit will start tracking and attributing conversions for all added marketing channels. Meanwhile, other metrics are pulled directly from the ad channels you are using, so that you don't have to switch between tabs to see your ads performance.
Here's the full list of metrics in your Marketing Attribution Report:
If your ads are missing the required URL parameters for tracking, you'll see a yellow tooltip in each level. Make sure to add TrueProfit's parameters to have accurate tracking for this report.
All data in Marketing Attribution can be drilled down from the ad campaigns to the ad sets/ad groups, and ads level
An attribution window is a time frame within which TrueProfit records your conversions (ad clicks). Currently in the beta version, the default attribution window in our app is 30 days.
When your ads convert a successful purchase, you'll start seeing data reported in the Assisted Purchases and Last-clicked Purchases metrics for each channel. These two metrics are clickable with further insights into the orders generated from your ads.
When you click to view the Assisted Purchases and Last-clicked Purchases data in your report, you will see an Conversion Report for the metric and channel you are viewing. This report includes the Order ID, Revenue, Purchase Date, and Customer details of all orders.
In the Conversion Report report, you can click on the Order ID to view each Order Details, the Conversion Journey, and the Customer Details.
The Conversion Journey gives you the full record since the customer first clicked on to view your ads, counts as Assisted Purchases, and the final ad where they converted and made a purchase, which is TrueProfit's Last-clicked Purchases.
