MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a lead nurtured for months by content marketing finally converts after clicking a retargeting ad; last-touch gives the retargeting campaign all the credit and the content program none.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask whether the platform lets you set the attribution window and excludes direct traffic as the final touch when appropriate.
- Verify last-touch reports can be compared against first-touch or multi-touch views in the same report.
- Check how the tool treats conversions with no prior tracked touch, so unattributed conversions are visible.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Because it rewards the last click, last-touch can justify cutting the programs that create demand, and ad platforms using it tend to overstate their own contribution to conversions.
