Implementation & Setup
How quickly can you implement an attribution system for our business?
Implementation typically takes between 2-6 weeks depending on the complexity of your current marketing stack and specific requirements. Here's what the timeline usually looks like:
- Week 1: Discovery phase and technical audit of your existing systems
- Weeks 2-3: System configuration, data integration, and initial setup
- Weeks 4-5: Testing, calibration, and dashboard customisation
- Week 6: Training, go-live, and initial optimisation
For simpler setups with standard e-commerce platforms, we can often complete implementation in as little as 2 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific needs.
Do you work with all e-commerce platforms and marketing tools?

What data do you need from us to get started?
To implement an effective attribution system, we typically need access to:
- Website Analytics: Google Analytics or equivalent platform access
- Advertising Accounts: Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and other paid media accounts
- E-commerce Data: Transaction data, product catalogues, and customer information
- Email Marketing: Campaign data and subscriber information
- CRM Data: Customer lifecycle and interaction data (if applicable)
All data access is provided through secure, read-only permissions where possible. We follow strict data protection protocols and are fully GDPR compliant. We'll provide a detailed data requirements checklist during our initial consultation.
Will implementing your system affect our website performance?
No, our implementation is designed to have minimal impact on website performance. We use:
- Asynchronous Loading: All tracking scripts load without blocking page rendering
- Lightweight Code: Optimised tracking code with minimal file sizes
- CDN Delivery: Fast content delivery networks for quick script loading
- Performance Monitoring: Continuous monitoring to ensure optimal performance
In most cases, clients see no noticeable change in page load times. We also conduct performance testing before and after implementation to ensure your website continues to perform optimally.
Analytics & Reporting
What attribution models do you support?
We support a comprehensive range of attribution models to suit different business needs:
- Single-Touch Models: First-touch, last-touch, and last non-direct click
- Multi-Touch Models: Linear, time-decay, position-based, and data-driven attribution
- Custom Models: Tailored attribution weights based on your specific customer journey
- Cross-Device Attribution: Tracking customers across multiple devices and platforms
- Incrementality Testing: Measuring true incremental impact of marketing activities
We'll work with you to determine the most appropriate attribution model based on your business model, sales cycle length, and marketing objectives. Many clients use multiple models to gain different perspectives on their marketing performance.
How accurate is your attribution tracking?
Our attribution systems typically achieve 85-95% accuracy in tracking customer journeys, which is significantly higher than standard last-click attribution. Accuracy depends on several factors:
- Implementation Quality: Proper setup and configuration of tracking systems
- Data Sources: Number and quality of integrated data sources
- Customer Behaviour: Cross-device usage and privacy settings
- Attribution Model: Sophistication of the chosen attribution methodology
We use advanced techniques including probabilistic matching, machine learning algorithms, and statistical modelling to maximise accuracy whilst maintaining privacy compliance. Regular calibration and validation ensure ongoing precision.
Can you track customers across different devices?
Yes, we provide comprehensive cross-device tracking using privacy-compliant methods:
- Deterministic Matching: When customers log in or provide email addresses
- Probabilistic Matching: Using anonymous signals to connect device behaviour
- First-Party Data: Leveraging your customer database for accurate matching
- Platform Integration: Connecting data from Google, Facebook, and other platforms
This enables us to track a customer's journey from initial awareness on mobile to final purchase on desktop, providing a complete view of the customer experience. All tracking methods comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
How often is the attribution data updated?
Our attribution data is updated in near real-time with different refresh frequencies depending on the data type:
- Website Interactions: Real-time (immediate)
- Conversion Data: Every 15 minutes
- Advertising Platform Data: Every hour
- Email Marketing Data: Every 2-4 hours
- Attribution Calculations: Every 6 hours
This ensures you have access to current performance data for making timely optimisation decisions. Historical data is continuously reprocessed to improve accuracy as more information becomes available.
