Attribution models decide how credit is assigned to the touchpoints that led to a conversion. Stiddle lets you switch models per dashboard, report, or attribution table so you can view performance from multiple angles.

Why attribution models matter

  • Aligns teams – Paid media, lifecycle, and sales can agree on what “counts” as success.
  • Prevents bias – Single-touch models over-index on one channel; multi-touch spreads credit across the journey.
  • Drives optimization – When you know which touchpoints influence outcomes, you can scale or trim budgets with confidence.
