Cross-Channel Attribution is the process of assigning credit for a conversion or sale to multiple marketing channels that a customer interacted with before making a purchase. These channels may include search, email, social media, display ads, and more.
Cross-Channel Attribution is calculated using attribution models that assign value to each channel involved in the conversion path. Common models include first-click, last-click, linear, time-decay, and data-driven attribution.
No single formula exists – attribution is applied based on selected models like linear, time decay, or algorithmic methods.

If a user discovers your product through a Facebook ad, clicks an email campaign, and finally converts through a Google Search ad, Cross-Channel Attribution assigns partial credit to each step rather than giving all credit to just the last one.
