Revenue Attribution Playbook
Use this framework to move from platform reporting to revenue reporting, so channel decisions are made on closed-value outcomes.
Best For
Teams spending across multiple channels without clear source-of-truth ROI.
Case Signals
Ferry Solicitors (20x ROI trajectory), Active Iron (5 data sources unified).
Cadence
Weekly performance review, monthly financial validation, quarterly model revision.
Implementation Sequence
1. Standardize Event Taxonomy
Align naming between ad platforms, analytics, CRM, and sales pipeline stages.
2. Connect Lead IDs to Pipeline IDs
Create a shared key from first touch through close so each deal is traceable to source.
3. Define Revenue Buckets
Separate validated revenue, projected revenue, and influenced revenue to avoid reporting inflation.
4. Build Decision Dashboard Views
Create one view for executives, one for channel operators, and one for sales feedback loops.
5. Operationalize Weekly Actions
Use the report to trigger budget shifts, keyword updates, and creative prioritization each week.

- Shared ownership between marketing lead and finance lead is defined.
- Lead validation criteria are agreed before reporting begins.
