SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Marketing teams cannot tell which channels actually drive conversions because ad platforms, GA4, and CRMs each report conflicting numbers, and conversions on third-party domains (booking tools, hosted checkouts) lose the entire customer journey. This Skill helps you choose and interpret attribution models, reconcile conflicting sources, and instrument first-party attribution yourself. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Model interpretation and reconciliation: Compare first-touch, last-touch, linear, time-decay, position-based, and data-driven models, then triangulate platform, analytics, CRM, and self-reported data against a single source of truth. - Measurement paradigm selection: Decide between multi-touch attribution, media mix modeling, and incrementality testing (geo holdouts, PSA, ghost ads) based on budget, sales cycle, and channel mix. - First-party attribution builds: Stitch anonymous browsing to conversions using identify/merge calls, metadata passthroughs, and webhooks for third-party domains like SavvyCal, Calendly, or Stripe Checkout, with fail-closed anonymity guards. - Use Case: A B2B SaaS team sees Google claim 50 conversions, Meta claim 40, and their CRM show 35. The Skill walks them through de-duping against the CRM as source of truth, explaining each platform's bias, and delivering an allocation with confidence levels instead of a false reconciled number. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to reconcile your conflicting conversion numbers across Google Ads, Meta, GA4, and your CRM and recommend which attribution model fits your sales cycle.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reconcile conflicting conversion numbers across Google Ads, Meta, and GA4?

Pick one source of truth for the conversion count, usually your CRM or backend where revenue is real, and de-dupe platform claims against it. Never sum platform-reported conversions, since each platform claims credit for the same sale; read directional trends instead of absolute matches.

First-touch vs last-touch attribution: which model should I use?

For long B2B sales cycles, show first-touch and last-touch side by side rather than picking one, because the gap between them is the insight. Position-based attribution is a defensible primary model for B2B since it credits both the demand-creating and deal-closing touches.

How do I track conversions that happen on a third-party domain like Calendly or SavvyCal?

Append the visitor's anonymous distinct_id to the outbound booking link via the tool's metadata passthrough, then merge it back in the webhook with an identify call plus a conversion event. Only smuggle anonymous ids and fail closed when identity is ambiguous to avoid corrupting profiles.

Why does Meta report high ROAS while my revenue stays flat?

Platform-reported ROAS is systematically inflated by self-crediting, view-through conversions, and generous attribution windows, so it is not incremental ROAS. Run an incrementality test such as a geo holdout or on/off test to measure true lift, and use incremental CPA to drive budget decisions.

Does this Skill set up GA4 event tracking and UTM parameters?

No, event tracking setup, tracking plans, and UTM configuration belong to the analytics skill. Attribution assumes tracking already exists and focuses on how touches join to conversions and survive through to revenue.

When should I use media mix modeling instead of multi-touch attribution?

Use MMM when you have material multi-channel spend including offline or brand channels, plus two to three years of weekly data with real spend variation. Below roughly six figures of monthly blended spend, good UTMs, last-non-direct, and a self-reported survey deliver more value.
