How much publisher influence is your program missing?

New research across six consumer categories shows publishers drive 3.84x more influence than last-click measurement captures.

The current buying journey can look like this: someone turns to AI-powered search for product recommendations. The answer draws from content produced by your top publishers, and the consumer ends up purchasing directly from your brand. Unfortunately, your measurement tools can't track how publishers influenced that sale because they never clicked a link.
