Attribution Model

Google Ads uses its own attribution model to assign conversions to campaigns. Key differences from Upstack attribution:
  • Data-driven attribution: Google uses machine learning to assign conversion credit across touchpoints
  • Click vs view-through: Google tracks both click-based and impression-based conversions
  • Conversion windows: Default 30-day click, 1-day view attribution windows
For cross-channel comparison, use Blended Metrics which normalize attribution across platforms.
