সত্যিকারের ROI

Data-driven attribution in GA4, blended CAC modelling and marketing-mix visibility — so you stop over-crediting last-click Meta and finally see which channel actually built the pipeline.

GA4-তে data-driven attribution, blended CAC মডেল ও marketing-mix visibility — যাতে last-click Meta-কে বেশি credit দেওয়া বন্ধ করে দেখতে পান আসলে কোন চ্যানেল pipeline বানিয়েছে।

Quick answer

Attribution model — in one paragraph

Marketing attribution in Dhaka means assigning revenue credit across every touchpoint (organic, paid social, paid search, email, WhatsApp, direct) instead of last-click only. Digital Marketing Dhaka builds data-driven attribution in GA4, blended CAC dashboards and — for larger budgets — Bayesian marketing-mix models. The goal: know which BDT of spend actually earns its return, not which channel gets lucky with the last click.

ঢাকায় marketing attribution মানে — last-click নয়, প্রতিটি touchpoint-এ (organic, paid social, paid search, email, WhatsApp, direct) revenue credit বণ্টন। GA4-তে data-driven attribution, blended CAC dashboard, বড় budget-এ Bayesian MMM মডেল। লক্ষ্য — কোন BDT return আনছে, কোনটা luck।

Why Dhaka

Why this matters for Bangladeshi businesses

The default GA4 attribution model is data-driven since 2023, but most Dhaka teams still read last-click reports out of habit. Meta gets credited for conversions that started on Google, Google gets credited for conversions started on TikTok, and organic gets zero credit for the entire brand-awareness ladder. The result: budget flows to the channel that shows up last, not the channel that started the journey. A proper attribution model shifts BDT 3–8 lakh/month of misallocated spend for a mid-size brand.

GA4-র default attribution ২০২৩ থেকে data-driven, কিন্তু ঢাকার বেশিরভাগ টিম এখনো last-click রিপোর্ট পড়ে। Meta পায় Google-এ শুরু হওয়া কনভার্সনের credit, organic পায় শূন্য। ফলে budget last-click চ্যানেলে যায়, journey শুরু করা চ্যানেলে না। সঠিক attribution model মাসে BDT ৩-৮ লাখ misallocated spend সরায়।

Every piece we ship in this engagement

01

GA4 Data-Driven Attribution setup

DDA enabled and configured with correct conversion events, lookback windows tuned for BD purchase cycles (typically 30d click / 1d view).

02

Blended CAC dashboard

Looker Studio dashboard combining ad spend from Meta, Google, TikTok + agency fees ÷ new customers from GA4 — a single 'true CAC' number by month.

03

Channel contribution report

Every conversion's full click path visualised — which channels appear as first-touch, mid-funnel, and last-touch. Kills the last-click argument in one screenshot.

04

Paid vs organic breakdown

Splits reported revenue into paid-media assisted, organic-only, and mixed — so you know what would happen if you cut paid tomorrow.

Deep dive

The details that decide the outcome

Last-click is the reason Meta looks amazing and Google looks cheap

Meta ads intercept high-intent users who Googled the brand name after seeing an ad on TV, WhatsApp or a competitor's story. Last-click gives Meta 100% of that conversion, Google 0% for the branded search that closed it. Data-driven attribution redistributes based on actual click-path lift. The typical Dhaka result: Meta credit drops 15–30%, Google + Direct + Email credit rises accordingly. Same revenue, honest allocation.

Blended CAC beats channel CAC every time

Channel CAC (Meta CAC = Meta spend ÷ Meta conversions) is a lie because it ignores overlap. Blended CAC (total marketing spend ÷ total new customers) is the only number that survives sanity-checking against the bank statement. Every Dhaka CFO should demand it. Our blended CAC dashboards typically reveal that reported channel CAC is 30–60% too optimistic — a wake-up call for boards.

Cohort LTV is where TikTok reveals itself

TikTok often shows the cheapest Day-1 CAC in Dhaka DTC because it targets young, low-price-point impulse buyers. But those cohorts often have 40% lower LTV than Meta cohorts at Day 90. Without cohort tracking, teams pour spend into TikTok until repurchase rates crash. With cohort attribution, they cap TikTok at a healthy LTV ratio and grow it sustainably.

MMM is not just for enterprise brands anymore

Meta Robyn and Google Meridian are open-source, free, and now workable at BDT 15 lakh+/month paid budgets. A quarterly MMM refresh gives you channel incrementality — the honest 'if we cut this channel by 30%, revenue drops X' number. For growth-stage BD brands, MMM prevents the classic mistake of scaling a non-incremental channel to zero net revenue growth.

Dhaka proof

What it looks like on the ground

A Gulshan-based fintech spending BDT 22 lakh/month across Meta (60%), Google (25%) and TikTok (15%) was reporting a blended CAC of BDT 4,800. Our attribution build revealed real blended CAC was BDT 7,100 (Meta was double-counting assisted conversions). Data-driven attribution showed Google Search was assisting 40% of Meta-credited conversions. We rebalanced to Meta 45%, Google 40%, TikTok 15%. Three months later: same BDT 22 lakh spend, 34% more new customers, blended CAC down to BDT 5,300 — because Google was carrying the intent that Meta was harvesting.

গুলশানের একটি fintech মাসে BDT ২২ লাখ (Meta ৬০%, Google ২৫%, TikTok ১৫%) — reported blended CAC BDT ৪,৮০০। Attribution বিল্ডে দেখা গেল আসল CAC BDT ৭,১০০। DDA দেখাল Google Search ৪০% Meta-credited কনভার্সন assist করছে। Rebalance: Meta ৪৫%, Google ৪০%, TikTok ১৫%। ৩ মাস পরে একই খরচে ৩৪% বেশি নতুন কাস্টমার, blended CAC BDT ৫,৩০০।

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need MMM or is DDA + blended CAC enough?

For paid budgets under BDT 15 lakh/month, DDA + blended CAC is enough. Above that, MMM adds incrementality — a different question that DDA cannot answer.

Can you attribute offline sales (retail, phone orders)?

Yes — offline conversion uploads to Google Ads and Meta, plus WhatsApp click attribution and CRM integration for phone orders.

How often should we re-model?

DDA + blended CAC dashboard runs live daily. MMM refresh quarterly. Full attribution model review annually.

Will this change our agency's reported ROAS?

Yes — usually downward, because paid agencies inflate ROAS by counting assisted conversions as fully credited. That's the point — you deserve honest numbers.

MMM লাগবে নাকি DDA + blended CAC যথেষ্ট?

মাসে BDT ১৫ লাখের নিচে DDA + blended CAC যথেষ্ট। উপরে MMM incrementality যোগ করে।

Offline sales attribute করা যায়?

হ্যাঁ — Google/Meta-তে offline conversion upload, WhatsApp click attribution, CRM integration।

কতদিন পর re-model করব?

DDA + blended CAC daily live। MMM quarterly। পূর্ণ review বছরে একবার।

এজেন্সির reported ROAS বদলাবে?

হ্যাঁ — সাধারণত কমবে, কারণ paid এজেন্সি assisted conversion পুরো credit দেখায়। সেটাই মূল কথা — সৎ সংখ্যা।
