What Is Lead Attribution?
Lead attribution answers the question "which marketing effort generated this lead?" In automotive, attribution is complex because the buying journey spans 8-12 weeks and involves multiple touchpoints - a buyer might discover your dealership through a Google search, return via a retargeting ad, read a blog post, and then call from a GBP listing. Attribution models include first-touch (credits the first interaction), last-touch (credits the final interaction), and multi-touch (distributes credit across all touchpoints). For content marketing, multi-touch attribution is essential because content often serves as an early touchpoint that influences - but doesn't directly capture - the eventual lead. Content-assisted conversions reveal SEO's true impact.
