Custom Attribution First Touch

The Custom Attribution First Touch instructional query helps advertisers identify customers' first touchpoints in the conversion journey. This model attributes 100% of the credit to the first touchpoint, offering insights into the most effective channels for attracting customers. By analyzing the results, you can understand how your advertising campaigns impact customer conversions and optimize your strategies accordingly.

By analyzing the query results, you'll gain insights into the effectiveness of different advertising channels as initial touchpoints. For example, a high conversion rate for a specific campaign might suggest investing more in that channel for customer engagement. You can also compare different attribution models, like last-touch attribution, for a complete view of the customer journey.

The query provides detailed metrics for each campaign, such as impressions, clicks, user reach, conversions, conversion rate, total units sold, and total product sales. For instance, it might show that a sponsored product campaign had the highest conversion rate (4.1% in this example), indicating its effectiveness as a first touchpoint. These insights can help you make informed decisions to optimize your campaigns.
