Summary
In advertising, 'attributed to' indicates that a specific channel or campaign caused an event, such as an app install or purchase. Attribution enables marketers to map the user journey, from the first ad click to final action. Each interaction is recorded as a data point, providing a clear view of what drives conversions.
Adjust is a tool that leverages these insights to help marketers optimize their app performance and marketing campaigns, ensuring better resource allocation and increased return on investment.

AppsFlyerMarketing attribution: what it is and how to measure it
Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.
