What marketing attribution is best for enterprise teams?

# Marketing Attribution for Enterprise Teams

## Top Models to Consider

### Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA)

**Best for most enterprise teams**

- Distributes credit across all touchpoints in the customer journey

- Variants: Linear, Time Decay, Position-Based (U-shaped, W-shaped)

- Good balance of accuracy and implementation complexity

### Data-Driven Attribution (DDA)

**Best for data-mature organizations**

- Uses machine learning to assign credit based on actual conversion patterns

- Requires significant data volume (typically 600+ conversions/month)

- Available in Google Analytics 4, SA360, and custom models

### Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM)

**Best for broad channel measurement**

- Statistical analysis of aggregate data

- Works well for offline + online measurement

- Less granular but privacy-resilient
