Attribution Modeling Experts

Are you spending 10m+ across Google, Meta, retail media, offline and other channels but can't confidently tell finance where the next 1m should go?

Attribution shows what happened, experiments show what caused it, and marketing mix modeling shows where the next budget should go. We combine MMM, incrementality experiments, and customer-level attribution to establish a defensible view of marginal return and turn it into your next budget allocation.

Research shows that C-level leaders who placed high importance on MMMs were over 2X more likely to exceed revenue goals by 10% or more

Three methods, one budget answer

Three methods, one answer

We triangulate marketing mix modeling, geo experiments, and attribution data so the recommendation holds even if any single method is challenged, and no budget rests on one imperfect view.

Meridian expertise

Google's open-source marketing mix model, now live in GA360, is implemented and calibrated by a team spanning media and data science, with Meta Robyn when your stack or channel mix is better suited to it.

A budget decision, not another model

The engagement concludes with a budget allocation and the scenarios behind it. The model runs in your warehouse, delivered as documented and rerunnable, independent of any media engagement or vendor platform.

Attribution Modeling Services

Method, modeling, and measurement, finished as a budget allocation your board can act on.

Diagnose

Discovery & Consultation

The budget decisions the work must inform are agreed upon before we choose a model. We run discovery with your marketing, finance, and data teams to define which allocation calls attribution must support, the channels in scope, the planning cadence, and the available data. We define objectives and success criteria here so we judge the engagement by the decisions it improved.

Business requirements, objectives & priorities

Measurement & Data Audit

A clear statement of what your data can support before you pick any method. Our consultants audit the inputs: platform and MMM data from Meta, Google, and Amazon; spend records; conversion tracking; and the historical depth each channel has. Consent and browser privacy limit what click paths show now, so we document what the data can and cannot answer and scope the gaps worth closing before modeling starts.

Data audit & method feasibility

Method Assessment

The right combination of methods for your channels, scale, and cadence, with the reasoning on record. Marketing mix modeling, geo experiments, and platform attribution each answer a different question. We assess which combination fits and which MMM framework, Meridian by default or Robyn when the channel mix or modeling requirements make it the better fit, so the method is chosen for the decision rather than the tool.

DELIVERABLE

Method recommendation & rationale

Establish & Model

Attribution Strategy & Roadmap

Our consultants define the attribution strategy: which methods run, how often each refreshes, and how MMM, experiments, and attribution data combine to inform the budget decision. Each phase is scoped and costed, with the cadence set by the decisions it feeds: annual planning, quarterly reallocation, or both. The roadmap specifies what runs first.

Attribution strategy & phased roadmap

Experiments & Calibration

We design geo experiments in GeoLift or Meridian GeoX: power analysis selects test and control markets, the minimum detectable effect, holdout share, and budget before launch. We report the measured lift and its uncertainty. Results inform the model's calibrated priors, and the model's answers are checked against them.

DELIVERABLE

Calibrated Meridian model & validation

Meridian Implementation

Our data scientists prepare the data to specification, set priors and calibrate from the experiments, and validate the model against known results before anyone plans against it. We document model choices and assumptions for finance review, and we build the model in your warehouse so every run is reproducible.

Experiment design, results & calibration

Allocate & Operate

Budget Scenarios & Allocation

Model outputs become the decision: what each channel returned, where the next dollar performs best, where returns saturate, and the confidence behind each move. We run budget scenarios forward from the same models for planning cycles and deliver the numbers finance will ask for, so the recommendation arrives with the evidence behind it.

DELIVERABLE

Budget scenarios & recommended allocation

Warehouse Attribution

We build the data-driven view alongside the rules-based baselines (first click, last click, linear, time decay, and position-based) and compare them on the same conversions, so differences between methods are visible rather than argued about. Output is published as reporting tables your dashboards read from.

DELIVERABLE

Comparable attribution models & published tables

Governance & Enablement

We establish the operating model: refresh cadence, data pipelines feeding the model, version control for every run, and the experiment calendar that keeps calibration current. Training builds your team's capability with the model and the tools, and an agreed SLA covers reruns and support for as long as you want. The model and the operating knowledge stay with you.
