B2B Marketing Attribution That Shows Which Channels Create Revenue
We set up tracking and attribution so you can see which channels, campaigns and touches contribute to pipeline and revenue, across inbound and outbound.
The problem
The challenges holding your B2B growth back.
You cannot see which channels truly create revenue. Budget conversations become arguments instead of decisions. Investment should follow evidence.
Sources go missing
Many leads arrive without a recorded source.
Every tool claims credit
Each platform reports its own success, and the totals never match.
Outbound and inbound measured differently
Channels cannot be compared fairly.
Overview
Our B2B Marketing Attribution services.
Built for CMOs and growth leaders asked to justify budget with revenue data.
Marketing attribution connects marketing and sales activity to pipeline and revenue. It is how you decide where to invest, and it depends on clean tracking within marketing and sales automation and your CRM.
Our B2B marketing attribution services fix source capture, standardise UTMs, connect ad platforms and outreach tools to the CRM, and implement an attribution model that suits your sales cycle, often first touch for creation plus a view of all touches. We also add self-reported attribution to capture channels software misses.
Inbound and outbound are measured in the same model, so comparisons are fair.
B2B Marketing Attribution is part of our Marketing and sales automation service.

Frequently asked questions about Marketing Attribution.
Which attribution model is best?
There is no perfect model. Many B2B teams use first touch for creation plus a view of all touches, alongside self-reported attribution.
Can you attribute outbound and inbound together?
Yes, using the same source fields and model for both.
What is self-reported attribution?
Asking buyers how they heard about you, which often captures channels tracking misses.
Do you connect ad platforms to the CRM?
Yes, including sending CRM outcomes back to ad platforms as offline conversions where supported.
How accurate is attribution?
It is an estimate. Consistency over time matters more than precision.
