Key takeaways include testing ad formats (banner, video, rewarded, native), choosing the right pricing model (CPM, CPC, CPA, CPI, CPV), and leveraging SKAdNetwork for attribution post-iOS 14.

AppsFlyerMarketing attribution: what it is and how to measure it
Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.
