A practical example
Example: if "conversion" is defined as trial signup, a webinar might show strong attribution; if defined as closed revenue, the same webinar may look weak because trial-to-paid depends on sales and product experience.
What to evaluate before investing
- Verify the platform supports multiple conversion definitions side by side, not one hard-coded event.
- Ask how offline conversions, like closed deals in the CRM, are imported and matched to online touches.
- Confirm conversion deduplication, so repeat form fills do not inflate counts.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Results are highly sensitive to the conversion definition and tracking coverage; changing what counts as a conversion can reorder your channel performance without any real change in customer behavior.
