The attribution health indicator is a percentage of orders that have been attributed to something.
What is Attribution Health?
Attribution Health is the percentage of orders that have been attributed to something over the past 7 or 30 days (e.g. when a sale is attributed to Facebook)
How is Attribution Health calculated?
The calculation is based on the number of new orders that received attribution for at least one or more customer journey points (first click, first opt-in, re-opt-in, last click) since you joined Wicked Reports. A new order is a purchase that is made by a customers who joined your list after you started using Wicked Reports and is not a subscription recurring sales.
What is "good" Attribution Health?
Attribution Health is classified using the following categories:
Healthy - Your average attribution is within the normal average range for the past 30 days compared to all active accounts - 60% and above.
Unhealthy - Your average attribution is below the normal average range for the past 30 days compared to all active accounts - 59% and below.
Not Enough Data - Blocked Processing or less than 30 tracked orders in the past 30 days.
The average Attribution Health is between 60-70%
Hey, we want 100% Attribution Health too. But, as painful as it is to accept, there will always be unattributed leads and revenue.
Why is 100% Attribution Health unrealistic?
The #1 culprit: Ad-Blockers. GWI Research found that roughly 20% of people use ad blockers, which prevent ANY software like Wicked Reports from tracking.
Don't give up!
Live by the motto, "Perfect is the enemy of progress," and know: there are thousands of other brands using Wicked's data to scale their business, why can't you?
How do I trust or improve my tracking?
Run the Tracking Validation Routine
This routine is designed to help you build the confidence you need in your tracking setup to make data-driven decisions.
For Wicked Reports to attribute clicks, leads, and sales accurately, we need URL Parameters appended to the URL of your ad landing pages, and our tracking script on your website including all landing pages, opt-in forms, checkout forms, and any other place where your marketing drives traffic to. Once that is complete, be sure to give your account time to build a click history.
Common Solutions
If your tracking has been set up for 30 days and your attribution health score is low, there are some common reasons for this:
- You do not have the tracking script fully installed on your landing pages, opt-in forms, or checkout pages (or your URL is not passing our tracking validation tests)
- You have offline sales you're not accounting for via custom clicks.
- You do not have organic tracking turned on
