Attribution settings

The Search Ads 360 report includes only sessions attributed to SA360 using a non-direct cross-channel last click attribution model. All events and conversions that happen in a given session are attributed to the same source for that session, based on the attribution for the session_start event. The attribution model can't be changed using the Attribution Settings.

The report excludes traffic when the Session SA360 advertiser ID is (not set) or an empty string.

The conversion window in Attribution Settings indicates how far back in time an event is eligible for attribution credit. You can change the attribution settings to change how far back you want to which you want to assign credit.

Dimensions in the report

You can choose from the following session-scoped SA360-specific dimensions as primary and secondary dimensions.

You will notice that each dimension includes the text "Session". The report is session-scoped. "Session" indicates that the dimension describes a user's most recent session, regardless of whether they are new or returning. Learn more about scopes
