Do you feel like your ad spend isn’t adding up? What if the data you’ve been relying on is actually misleading you? In this episode, we uncover the dangers of inaccurate attribution models that could be costing you thousands in missed revenue and show you a smarter way to optimize your ads.
Tier 11’s John Moran breaks down how media buyers can fall into the trap of relying on third-party platforms like Triple Whale, which often misreport up to 30% of revenue. He shares real-life case studies of clients who dramatically improved their ad performance by simply questioning their attribution model and switching to more reliable tracking methods.
