Lesson 6 of 6

Attribution, ROI & reporting

7 min read

Give credit where it's due

Customers rarely convert on the first touch — they discover you on social, return via search, then buy from an email. Attribution is how you assign credit across those touches.

  • Last-click is simple but over-credits the final step and under-credits discovery.
  • Multi-touch / data-driven models spread credit across the journey for a truer picture.

Use attribution to fund what *initiates* and *assists* revenue, not just what closes it — otherwise you'll starve the top-of-funnel channels that feed everything.

Tie effort to ROI

For each channel, compare what it costs (time + money) against the revenue it drives or assists. Double down on positive-ROI channels; fix or cut the rest. This is how you grow profitably instead of just busily.

Report what leadership cares about

Skip the vanity dashboard. Report: leads/customers, revenue and its trend, cost per acquisition, and the channels driving growth — with a clear "what we'll do next." GrowMyWebsite's revenue attribution and branded reports turn raw analytics into exactly this story, automatically.

You've completed the growth track — you can now measure honestly, convert more, test rigorously, and prove ROI. That's how growth stops being luck and becomes a system.
