Overview

Last-click attribution gives 100% credit for a conversion to the final ad click before the user completed the action.

All previous ad interactions in the customer journey, earlier clicks, impressions, different channels, receive zero credit.

Last-click is simple, deterministic, and universally supported, which explains its dominance.

Its weakness is systematic bias: it undervalues upper-funnel channels (awareness video, display) that contribute to the decision to convert but rarely receive the final click.
