Using various attribution models in the Model Comparison Tool, a campaign manager notices something that makes her increase her investment in Google Display ads. What might she have seen?

Question: Using various attribution models in the Model Comparison Tool, a campaign manager notices something that makes her increase her investment in Google Display ads. What might she have seen?

  • A channel received none of her investment.
  • A certain channel received a bulk of her investment and disproportionally drove a low conversion
  • A certain channel received a bulk of her investment and proportionally drove a high conversion volume.
  • A certain channel received a small share of her investment and drove a proportionally low conversion volume.

Explanation

The provided answer key appears inconsistent with Google’s attribution guidance. The Model comparison report is used to compare attribution models and understand whether a channel is contributing more to conversions than last-click reporting suggests. That insight usually supports increasing investment when a channel is being undervalued relative to its contribution across the path to conversion. A channel with a small share of spend and a proportionally low conversion volume would not normally be the reason to raise investment in Display. Google Help+2Google Help+2

Why the other options are incorrect

A) A channel with no investment does not provide the contribution pattern that attribution analysis is meant to compare. Google Help+1

B) Heavy spend with weak conversion contribution signals inefficiency, not a reason to increase budget. Google Help+1

C) High spend with strong conversion volume can indicate good performance, but it does not reflect the typical under-credited cross-channel insight that Model comparison is used to uncover. Google Help+1

D) This listed key does not align with Google attribution logic, because low spend paired with proportionally low conversions is not a sound basis for expanding Display investment. Google Help+2Google Help+2
