Every B2B sales motion is unique.

B2B buying isn't one person clicking one ad and making one purchase. It's committees, months-long cycles, and offline touches. Attribution's configurable models, deep CRM integrations, and offline tracking adapt to the way your business actually sells.

👥

Buying committees, not individuals

A developer evaluates. A VP champions. A CFO approves. A procurement team signs. Most attribution tools track individuals. Attribution tracks the account, binding each stakeholder's journey into one company-level view.

Months-long sales cycles

B2B deals close in 3, 6, sometimes 18 months. A LinkedIn campaign from last quarter might be responsible for pipeline closing today. Without a look-forward window and cohort tracking, that campaign looks like a waste of money.

PLG logins pollute your model

A user signs up for a free trial and logs in every day for two weeks. Each login is a "direct" visit. Without cutoff event logic, direct traffic gets 70%+ of the credit and your paid channels look like they're doing nothing.

See how Attribution handles the two B2B motions

Attribution handles product-led growth, sales-led growth, or both.

Two disconnected journeys. One deal. Attribution connects them.

A developer clicks a Google ad and a LinkedIn ad, then signs up for a 2-week free trial. They log in 11 times during the trial. On day 13, they invite their CFO, who clicks the invite link, evaluates, and enters a credit card. Two completely disconnected journeys: one with all the cost and no revenue, one with all the revenue and no cost. And if those 11 logins get counted as touches, direct traffic takes all the credit.

Without Attribution
Direct traffic gets 70%+ credit. Google and LinkedIn ads look like they don't convert. Marketing budget gets cut. The channel that started everything goes dark.
With Attribution
Cutoff event excludes post-signup logins. Developer and CFO journeys merge into one company journey. Paid campaigns keep their credit. The cohort report shows when $11 in ad spend pays back the $299/mo contract.
Now scale this to hundreds of signups. If the real payback period is 4 months, not 1, you need cohort analysis by channel to know that. You need the look-forward window to track revenue as it accumulates. And you need cutoff logic to keep direct traffic from stealing credit. Attribution gives you all three.

First-party tracking built for B2B complexity

You can't attribute what you can't track. Attribution captures every visit and event with first-party tracking, resolves identity across sessions and devices, and connects online and offline touches into one journey.

Identity resolution via identify()

Based on the same methodology as the Twilio Segment SDK. Stitches anonymous sessions to known users when they identify themselves. No need for fingerprinting. No third-party cookies. Persistent identity across devices and sessions.

One-click Segment install

Attribution is Segment's only preferred attribution partner. If you use Segment, installation is one click. Attribution receives your existing track() and identify() calls and adds user-level cost data, attribution credit, and LTV on top.

Offline and event tracking

Sales calls via CallRail. Conference badges via QR codes and unique links. Webinar attendance via API or CRM import. Any event can be a touchpoint, a conversion event, or both. All modeled alongside digital channels.

Bidirectional Segment enrichment

Attribution sends 20+ enriched traits back to Segment via identify() calls: first/last touch channel, LTV, cost of clicks, customer path, conversion data, and more. Every Segment destination gets attribution context automatically.

See exactly when each channel breaks even

Attribution's cohort report tracks cumulative ROAS week by week, channel by channel. Red means you're underwater. Green means you've broken even. Toggle between projected, actual, and recurring revenue. The look-forward window keeps tracking as deals close months later.

What this tells your CFO: The 1/01 cohort spent $7.4K and broke even in week 3. By week 5 it had generated $10.6K in cumulative ROAS. Later cohorts break even faster. The look-forward window continues tracking as recurring payments, renewals, and expansions come in over the months and years ahead. Toggle to projected revenue to model outcomes before deals close.

Give sales the journey context they've been asking for

Show the full account journey: every touchpoint from every stakeholder, what marketing did to warm the deal, and the path that led to close. Pushed directly into Salesforce Contact and Lead fields where sales already works.

Feed your attribution data back to your ad platforms

Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and Microsoft optimize for clicks. Attribution knows who actually converted. OCE sends your attribution-weighted conversion data back to these platforms daily so their algorithms learn what your real buyers look like.

How it works
1
Customer clicks ad
Click IDs captured (gclid, fbclid, li_fat_id, msclkid)
2
Customer converts
Attribution tracks the full journey and assigns credit per your model
3
OCE sends data back daily

You control what the platforms see

OCE pulls from a project view, so you choose the attribution model, conversion events, traffic filters, and value method. The platform receives what Attribution calculated – not its own self-serving attribution.

Conversion value
Full revenue, attribution-weighted partial credit, a 0-1 score, or signal only
Attribution model
Linear sends proportional credit. Last-touch concentrates it. Your model, your rules.
Event & traffic filters
Upload only specific events, channels, or segments. Train algorithms on the right signal.

Four measurement methods. One platform. No extra cost.

Multi-touch attribution tells you who deserves credit. MMM tells you where to shift budget. Incrementality tells you what's truly incremental. Data-driven attribution lets the data decide. Attribution gives you all four from the same dataset.

Who deserves the credit?

Map every touchpoint across the buying committee. Assign credit using the model that fits your sales cycle. Apply cutoff event logic so PLG logins and repeat visits don't steal credit from the paid campaigns that actually acquired the customer. Toggle between five models and four configuration modes without corrupting any data.

What B2B teams say

"The fact that Attribution saves us so much time is critical, but that it saves us cash as well is just as important. We're excited to see where these savings take us."

Frequently asked questions

B2B marketing attribution software connects marketing touchpoints to pipeline and revenue across the full buyer journey. Unlike general-purpose analytics tools, B2B attribution must handle multiple stakeholders within a single account, sales cycles that span months, offline touches like conferences and sales calls, and CRM pipeline stages from MQL to closed-won. Attribution is a B2B marketing attribution and measurement platform that maps every interaction for every person at a target account, rolls credit up to the company level, and shows which campaigns and channels actually drive pipeline and revenue. Attribution integrates natively with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive, and converts CRM stage changes into time-series touchpoints on the customer journey.

The best B2B attribution tool depends on your sales motion, tech stack, and what you need to prove. Attribution is built for B2B companies that need account-level attribution across buying committees, cohort analysis showing when ad spend breaks even by channel, and a look-forward window that tracks campaign revenue for as long as deals keep closing. Attribution also includes media mix modeling, incrementality testing, and Offline Conversion Events that feed attribution data back to ad platforms, all at no extra cost. Other B2B attribution tools include Dreamdata, which focuses on B2B activation and audience building, HockeyStack, which has expanded into broader GTM analytics, CaliberMind, which is Salesforce-heavy, and Adobe Marketo Measure (formerly Bizible), which serves large enterprises. Attribution differentiates with user-level cost tracking, full data auditability, cutoff event logic for PLG funnels, and bidirectional integrations with Salesforce and Twilio Segment.

To prove marketing ROI to a CFO, you need numbers that connect marketing spend to actual revenue, not clicks, impressions, or MQLs. Attribution’s cohort report shows exactly when each channel’s ad spend breaks even by tracking cumulative ROAS week by week. You can toggle between projected, actual, and recurring revenue so you can model outcomes before deals close or show realized results after they do. The look-forward window tracks revenue from campaign cohorts for as long as they keep generating results, so a campaign that ran last quarter still gets credit for pipeline closing today. Every number on every dashboard is fully auditable, meaning you can click into any metric and trace it back to the underlying visits, costs, and credit assignments. This gives your CFO a clear, defensible trail from ad spend to closed-won revenue.

Long sales cycles are the biggest challenge in B2B attribution because the time between a marketing touch and a closed deal can be months or even years. Attribution solves this in three ways. First, the look-forward window tracks ongoing revenue from campaign cohorts for as long as they keep generating results, so campaigns are credited for deals that close long after the campaign ran. Second, the cohort report tracks cumulative ROAS week by week so you can see when each channel’s spend breaks even. Third, Attribution supports projected revenue, which lets you model likely outcomes before deals close, so you don’t have to wait for the full sales cycle to evaluate a campaign.

Product-led growth creates a specific attribution problem: a user signs up for a free trial and then logs in repeatedly, generating direct traffic visits that dilute credit from the paid campaigns that actually acquired them. Attribution solves this with cutoff event logic, which controls when attribution credit stops being assigned. You choose the cutoff event, like a trial signup, and configure how traffic is handled after that point. Attribution offers four modes: include all traffic, exclude all direct traffic, include direct until the cutoff event, or exclude all traffic after the cutoff event. Attribution also handles the disconnected-journey problem in PLG, where one person signs up but a different person at the same company enters the credit card. Attribution binds both individual journeys into one company-level journey so the paid campaigns that started the process get credit for the revenue.

Attribution has a bidirectional Salesforce integration. It pulls leads, contacts, and opportunities from Salesforce to build the customer journey and connect marketing touches to pipeline stages. It also pushes data back: Attribution writes first touch, last touch, or the full customer path into custom Contact and Lead fields in Salesforce, triggered by stage changes or activities. The field names include attribution_path__c, attribution_first_channel__c, and attribution_last_channel__c. Beyond the sync, Attribution creates time-series track() events from Salesforce activity, including stage changes, task completions, and opportunity updates. These appear as touchpoints on the customer journey alongside marketing touches. If you also use Twilio Segment, those Salesforce events flow to every downstream Segment destination automatically.

Attribution is Twilio Segment’s only preferred attribution partner. For Segment customers, installation is one click. Attribution receives your existing track() and identify() calls and adds user-level cost data, attribution credit, and lifetime value on top. The integration is bidirectional: Attribution sends over 20 enriched traits back to Segment via identify() calls, including first touch channel, last touch channel, LTV, cost of clicks, customer path, first purchase date, and last conversion data. This means every downstream Segment destination, whether it is Amplitude, Braze, a data warehouse, or any other tool, automatically receives attribution context. You can segment users by acquisition channel in your email tool, build funnels by marketing source in your product analytics, and enrich your warehouse with attribution data, all without building custom pipelines.

Yes. Attribution’s Offline Conversion Events feature automatically feeds attribution-weighted conversion data back to Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Microsoft Ads daily via each platform’s Conversions API. This closes the loop so ad platform algorithms like Google’s Smart Bidding and Meta’s Advantage+ optimize for people who actually converted, not just people who clicked. The key differentiator is control: you choose which attribution model, conversion events, traffic filters, and value method to use. You can send full revenue, attribution-weighted partial credit, a normalized score, or signal only. The ad platform receives what Attribution calculated based on your model, not its own self-serving attribution. Offline Conversion Events is available at no additional cost.

Yes. Attribution tracks individual user journeys and rolls them up under company accounts. When a developer clicks an ad and signs up for a trial, and later a CFO clicks an invite link and enters a credit card, Attribution binds both journeys into one company journey. You can view each individual’s touchpoints separately or see the account-level view that combines them. This means the paid campaigns that acquired the developer get credit for the revenue the CFO generated, because they are part of the same deal. The cohort report and look-forward window also work at the account level, showing when your ad spend breaks even across account cohorts.

Yes, at no additional cost. Attribution tracks user-level cost data and de-duplicated conversions, which are the exact inputs that media mix models and incrementality tests require. Teams can export this data and connect it to an LLM like Claude or ChatGPT for saturation curves, budget reallocation recommendations, and incrementality test design in minutes. Open-source frameworks like Meta Robyn and Google Meridian also work with Attribution’s exported data. Additionally, teams can build data-driven attribution models using an LLM by exporting raw journey data and having the LLM dynamically weight touchpoints based on their actual influence on conversions. Dedicated MMM and incrementality platforms typically cost $50,000 to $200,000 or more per year.
