    AI Multi-Touch Attribution

    TL;DR: Xplainr's AI attribution model analyzes the full customer journey across all touchpoints and channels, showing how each interaction contributes to conversions - replacing biased platform self-attribution with a neutral, data-driven view.

    Every ad platform claims credit for your conversions. Google says Google drove it. Meta says Meta drove it. The truth? Most conversions involve multiple touchpoints across multiple channels. Xplainr's AI attribution cuts through the noise with a unified, unbiased view of how your marketing actually works.

    Why This Matters

    Platform self-attribution is fundamentally broken. Each platform counts conversions based on its own rules - often inflating its contribution by 2-5x. Last-click attribution ignores upper-funnel channels. First-click ignores closing channels. And the sum of all platform-reported conversions often exceeds your actual conversions by 200-300%. You need a neutral arbiter.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is AI attribution different from Google's or Meta's attribution?

    Platform attribution is biased - each platform counts conversions favorably for itself. Xplainr's AI model is channel-agnostic, analyzing the full journey across all platforms to determine fair credit allocation.

    Does it work for B2B with long sales cycles?

    Yes. You can configure attribution lookback windows up to 180 days. Combined with HubSpot CRM data, Xplainr tracks the full B2B buyer journey from first touch to closed deal.

    How does it handle view-through conversions?

    Xplainr shows view-through and click-through attribution separately and lets you adjust the weight of view-through impressions in your model to prevent overvaluing display/video channels.

    Can I compare different attribution models?

    Yes. View results side-by-side across first-click, last-click, linear, time-decay, and Xplainr's AI-weighted model to understand how model choice affects channel credit.
