Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How does web attribution work?

Web attribution connects website visits and conversions to the marketing touchpoints that influenced them. By using tracking links, campaign parameters, integrations, and conversion events, attribution platforms like Branch helps you understand which channels and campaigns drive results. Branch extends this visibility across web and app so you can measure how marketing contributes to conversions even when customers move between platforms.

What integrations does a marketing attribution platform need?

A marketing attribution platform should integrate with your website and app, advertising channels, analytics and data systems, and the tools you use to manage customer engagement. Depending on your needs, this may include ad networks, email and CRM platforms, mobile measurement tools, data warehouses, and conversion-event pipelines. These integrations help connect campaign interactions to meaningful outcomes and make it easier to compare performance across channels. Branch offers partner integrations, SDKs, APIs, webhooks, and data exports to support your measurement and reporting workflows.

Can Branch attribute users who start on web and convert in the app?

Yes. Branch supports web-to-app attribution to help you connect web interactions to downstream app installs, opens, and conversions. For example, someone might click a campaign, explore a product on your mobile website, and then install your app to complete a purchase. Branch preserves the relevant campaign context and deep links users from a web interaction to the app experience.

How do you prevent double-counting between web and app conversions?

Branch measures web and app activity with a cross-platform and cross-device attribution system, so each activity performed by a single user gets credited to a single source. When a customer clicks an ad on mobile web and converts later in your app, Branch carries the campaign data through that handoff and attributes the conversion once, to the touch that drove it, instead of logging a separate web touch and an organic app event. You get one deduplicated view of performance across paid, owned, and earned channels.

How do browser privacy restrictions affect web attribution?

Browsers like Safari and Firefox block third-party cookies by default and limit how long some first-party cookies last, which shortens the window for connecting a website visit to a later conversion. Safari can also strip tracking parameters from links in certain contexts. Branch reduces the impact by carrying campaign data through its own links and using deep links to move users from web into your app, where measurement relies on the Branch SDK instead of browser cookies.

How is Branch web attribution different from a web analytics tool?

Web analytics tools help you understand what happens on your website, including page views, sessions, traffic sources, and on-site behavior. Branch focuses on connecting marketing touchpoints to conversions across channels and platforms, including journeys that move from web to app. Rather than looking just at website activity, Branch helps you understand which web campaigns drive app installs, engagement, and downstream outcomes.
