With the GTM tracking switch, you can decide whether last-click attribution or first-touch attribution should be the basis for conversion attribution. This flexibility allows you to adjust attribution based on the channel. For example: If the first touchpoint is a direct entry, no last-click attribution is applied, as the first touchpoint is considered the decisive channel.
- Last-Click Attribution: The last touchpoint before the conversion receives full attribution.
- First-Touch Attribution: The first touchpoint that the user has is counted as the decisive channel for the conversion.
This flexibility allows you to shape your attribution in a way that best fits your marketing strategy.
