Multi-Touch Attribution is attribution that distributes credit across more than one marketing touchpoint.
Example of Multi-Touch Attribution
A multi-touch report can share credit among a search visit, a later email click and another recorded interaction. The allocation depends on the chosen rules and available identifiers, so it is a model of the path rather than a complete account of every influence.
Why Multi-Touch Attribution matters
It matters because analytics turns marketing activity into decisions. Without clear measurement language, teams may misread performance, overvalue the wrong channels, or miss the actions that actually drive revenue.
