Attribution Overview
Attribution is one place to measure how your marketing drives conversions and revenue, viewed several ways: by event, by full-journey credit, by campaign, by audience, and by funnel step.
Attribution is one place to measure how your marketing drives conversions: which channels get credit, which campaigns perform, and how much revenue your visitors generate.
It's a single suite built on one dataset. You look at that data several ways depending on the question you're asking: by event, by full-journey credit, by campaign, by audience, and by funnel step. This page helps you pick the right view in a few seconds.
Open Attribution Center in appNew to attribution models? Credit for a conversion can be split many ways: all to the first touch, all to the last, or spread across the whole journey with Linear, U-Shaped, and Time Decay. Conversion Attribution walks through how each model reshapes the picture.
Tracking healthcare events? Adopt the Standard Healthcare Events schema and attribution gets easier. Because events like
appointment_bookedandrevenue_recognizedare recognized automatically, conversion and revenue reporting work without mapping each event by hand.
Why Ours Privacy Attribution
- Built on your own first-party data. Attribution is computed from the events you track with Ours Privacy, not modeled or sampled from an ad platform's reporting. The numbers are yours, end to end.
- HIPAA-compliant by default. Built for regulated workflows, with no separate BAA or compliance add-on required.
- No third-party cookies required. Visitor journeys are stitched from first-party data, so attribution keeps working as third-party cookies go away.
- One dataset, many lenses. Every view here, plus Web Analytics, reads the same tracked events, so your reports reconcile instead of telling different stories.

| Split credit for one conversion event across every touchpoint in the journey | Conversion Attribution | "Which channels deserve credit, across the whole journey?" |
| Compare specific campaigns or UTM combinations side by side | UTM Performance Comparison | "How do these campaigns stack up against each other?" |
| Measure how a defined audience converted and what revenue it drove | Audience Performance | "How well did this audience convert, and what did it earn?" |
| See where visitors drop off across an ordered sequence of steps | Funnels | "Where in my flow do people fall out?" |
| Walk the paths visitors take through your site, one step at a time | Journey Explorer | "Once someone did this, where did they go next?" |

The Views
Event Attribution Insights
Event Attribution Insights zooms in on a single conversion event and the visitors behind it: how the event trends over time, who triggered it, which pages they entered on, and which sources brought them in. A fast, visitor-level diagnostic with first-touch or last-touch attribution and UTM filtering.
Conversion Attribution - Multi-Touch
Conversion Attribution is full-journey multi-touch attribution. It splits conversion credit across every source, medium, and campaign that touched a visitor before they converted, using five attribution models (First Touch, Last Touch, Linear, U-Shaped, and Time Decay) so you can see past last-click reporting.
Early access. Conversion Attribution is rolling out gradually. Contact your account representative to turn it on for your organization.
UTM Performance Comparison
UTM Performance Comparison builds a side-by-side table of specific UTM combinations and compares them on visitors, sessions, events, and conversion rate. Best for head-to-head campaign questions like "did the email campaign or the paid social campaign drive more bookings?"
Audience Performance
Audience Performance measures how an audience you define from session activity converted on a chosen event and the revenue it drove: conversion rates, revenue metrics, and a source/medium/campaign breakdown for any audience you define.
Funnels
Funnels measure conversion and drop-off across an ordered, multi-step path you build, with step-level filters, configurable conversion windows, and session replays of the visitors who fell out. Reach for it when the question is "where in my flow do people leave?" rather than "which channel gets credit?"
Journey Explorer
Journey Explorer walks the paths visitors actually take, one step at a time. Pin a start or end point, then drill column by column to see the next steps visitors took (or the steps before). Open-ended path discovery, rather than a fixed set of steps you define up front.
Early access. Journey Explorer is part of Journeys, which is rolling out gradually. Contact your account representative to turn it on for your organization.
Conversion Journey Summary
Conversion Journey Summary summarizes how visitors reach a conversion event: how many converted, how long it took, how many touchpoints they had, which sources started and closed the journey, and the page flow into the conversion. First-touch and last-touch source breakdowns within an attribution window you choose.
