The problem
Five reasons your marketing attribution data is wrong
Ad platforms double-count, browsers block cookies, and untagged links become "Direct". Each one removes or misassigns revenue before it reaches your report.
- 01
Every ad platform claims the same sale
Google counts a conversion. Meta counts the same one. Add the dashboards together and you have more customers than you actually got.
Affects Google Ads Meta Ads LinkedIn Ads TikTok Ads - 02
Cookies, blockers, and devices break identity
Safari and Firefox block third-party cookies, blockers strip analytics scripts, and the same person on a phone then a laptop is counted twice. The journey fragments before it reaches your report.
Affects Safari ITP Firefox ETP uBlock Origin Cross-device - 03
Untagged traffic all becomes "Direct"
Links shared in Slack, WhatsApp, newsletters, and podcasts carry no UTM. Most tools give up and file the whole visit under Direct.
Affects Dark social UTM parameters Referrer data - 04
The attribution window expires mid-cycle
GA4 looks back 90 days. A B2B deal takes longer than that, so the click that started it is forgotten before the revenue arrives.
Affects GA4 90-day lookback Long sales cycles - 05
Then one click takes all the credit
Single-touch hands 100% to the last moment. LinkedIn introduced the buyer, months of content kept them warm, brand search takes the win.
Affects Last-click First-click GA4 attribution
All five, closed by one first-party dataset
Every touch is captured on your own domain and kept for as long as the deal takes, so credit is split across the journey instead of handed to whichever click happened to be last.
- 01 Each customer is counted once, not once per ad platform
- 02 No third-party cookies, and visits stitch to one person across devices
- 03 Untagged and dark-social visits still get a real source
- 04 The first touch is still attached when the deal closes months later
- 05 Credit spread across every touch, with models you switch in a click
CRM, deals, and subscriptions

Attribution models
Every model. One dataset. Switch in a click.
Compare first-touch, last-touch, and multi-touch on the same campaign, side by side. This is multi-touch attribution (MTA), not marketing mix modeling (MMM), which estimates channels from aggregate spend and needs years of history.
-
First-touch
100% credit to the channel that first introduced the customer.
-
Last-touch
100% credit to the channel right before the conversion.
-
Linear
Credit split evenly across every touchpoint in the journey.
-
Time-decay
Recent touchpoints get more credit than older ones.
-
U-shaped (40/20/40)
First and last touch get 40% each, middle touches share 20%.
-
W-shaped (30/30/40)
First, lead-conversion, and opportunity touches each get 30%.
Every source
Every lead source, captured automatically
Attribution is only as good as what it can see. SourceLoop captures the source behind every form fill, meeting, chat, call, and payment, even on tools that aren't on your site.
- Online forms Typeform, HubSpot, Webflow, Gravity Forms.
- Meetings and demos Calendly, Cal.com, Chili Piper, HubSpot Meetings.
- Live chat Intercom, Drift, Crisp, Tawk.to.

FAQ
Multi-touch attribution, FAQ
What is marketing attribution software?
Marketing attribution software is a category of analytics tool that connects every marketing touchpoint (ad clicks, organic visits, content reads, form fills, demo bookings) to the leads, customers, and revenue they produce. SourceLoop is marketing attribution software built around a first-party dataset, every visit gets stitched to a person, every person to a deal, and every deal to revenue, so you can see exactly which channels, campaigns, and content pieces moved pipeline.
How is this different from Google Analytics attribution?
GA4 only sees what visitors do on your website, in 90-day windows, with cookie-based identifiers that break across browsers. SourceLoop ties every visit to a person, persists data beyond 90 days, captures conversions from forms / chat / meetings / payments, and rolls up to closed revenue from your CRM and billing tool. That's three categories of data GA4 doesn't have.
How is this different from enterprise attribution platforms?
Tools like Bizible, Dreamdata, or HockeyStack do the same job at $30k–$200k/year with multi-quarter rollouts. SourceLoop ships the same multi-touch attribution, person-level identity, and CRM/ad-platform sync at a fraction of the cost, with a setup measured in hours.
Can I attribute deals back to the original ad even months later?
Yes. We persist the visitor's first-touch, every campaign, and every click ID in a first-party cookie that survives across sessions and devices wherever browser-storage rules allow. When a deal closes six months after the original LinkedIn click, the click is still attached.
Does this handle dark social, organic search, and direct visits?
Yes. When UTMs are missing, we attribute using referrer data, landing-page heuristics, and known dark-social patterns (long-form posts, slack/email links, app referrals). Direct traffic gets enriched with prior-session signals so you don't end up with 60% of revenue showing as 'Direct'.
Does this work with HubSpot, Salesforce, and our ad accounts?
Yes. Native two-way sync with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, ActiveCampaign, and others. Ad-platform OAuth into Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Microsoft Ads pulls spend in and pushes attributed conversions out.
Can I attribute deals and subscription revenue, not just leads?
Yes, and this is the main thing that separates SourceLoop from most attribution tools, which stop at the form fill. The source travels with the person into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive and stays attached as they move through Lead, MQL, SQL, and Opportunity. It stays attached to the deal itself, so you can see closed-won and closed-lost by campaign. And it stays attached through billing, so Stripe payments, trials, renewals, and lifetime value are all attributable to the campaign that started them. That means you can answer which channel produces revenue that sticks, rather than which channel produces the most form fills.
How accurate is marketing attribution?
More accurate than ad-platform reporting, and not perfect. SourceLoop measures deterministically wherever a real signal exists: ad clicks carrying GCLID, GBRAID, WBRAID, FBCLID or MSCLKID, UTM-tagged links, referrers, and every form, booking, chat, call and payment on your own site, plus everything in your CRM and billing tool. Where no signal exists, we model and label it as modelled rather than passing it off as measured. The honest limits are cross-device journeys before someone identifies themselves, visits from apps and privacy browsers that strip the referrer, and sessions where consent was declined. Any vendor telling you they capture 100% is not being straight with you.
Does attribution work across devices?
Partly, and it improves the moment someone identifies themselves. An anonymous visit on a phone and a later visit on a laptop can look like two people until one of them fills a form, books a meeting, or logs in. At that point we stitch the sessions to one person and backdate the touches, so the original ad click is credited correctly. We also stitch people to their company, which matters for a B2B buying committee where one colleague clicks the ad and a different one signs the contract.
What's the difference between deterministic and modelled attribution?
Deterministic attribution means a real, observed signal connects the touch to the person, such as a click ID on the ad click or a UTM on the link they followed. Modelled attribution means the connection is inferred from patterns when no such signal survived. Most tools blend the two and report a single confident-looking number. SourceLoop keeps them separate so you know which parts of a report are measured and which are estimated.
Does marketing attribution work without third-party cookies?
Yes, and SourceLoop was built that way from the start. We never rely on third-party cookies, which Safari and Firefox have blocked for years and Chrome restricts. Attribution runs on your own first-party data, collected on your own domain, so it keeps working as browsers tighten tracking rules.
Is SourceLoop GDPR compliant?
Yes. SourceLoop runs on first-party data you own, honours consent choices, and supports data-deletion requests. We sign a DPA, and you can review our subprocessors. Because the data stays yours rather than being pooled into a third-party ad network, the compliance story is materially simpler than pixel-based tracking.
Why do my ad platforms report more conversions than SourceLoop?
Ad platforms count conversions they believe they caused, including view-throughs where someone saw an ad and never clicked it. They also count the same customer separately in each platform, so Google and Meta both claim the same sale. SourceLoop counts each customer once and attributes them to the touches that actually happened. The result is usually a lower, more honest number, and the gap between the two is the amount of double-counting in your current reporting.
Is there a free marketing attribution tool?
SourceLoop has a free 7-day trial, and paid plans start well below enterprise attribution platforms. Genuinely free attribution tools exist but nearly all of them are single-touch and website-only, which means they can't tie a deal back to the campaign that started it. That limitation is usually what sends people looking for a paid tool in the first place.
