SpendSignal helps marketing leaders at Agencies & Marketing Teams companies uncover true incremental ROI, including revenue traditional attribution tools miss — and turn it into confident spend decisions.
Most Agencies & Marketing Teams companies rely on attribution reports that:
Can't defend budget recommendations with click-based metrics
Under-credit channels with strong fundamentals but weak attribution
Can't forecast future outcomes before client approval
Optimize for reportable efficiency instead of client growth
The result? Budgets get misallocated. Efficient channels get cut. Growth stalls for reasons no one can explain.
In Agencies & Marketing Teams, channels like Meta, Google, and brand campaigns often influence buyers weeks or months later. Traditional tools stop measuring too early — leaving large portions of revenue unattributed.
Attribution rewards last-touch efficiency, not first-touch creation. This pushes budgets toward demand harvesting (retargeting, branded search) and away from demand creation (prospecting, brand, content).
SpendSignal asks a simple question:
"What would revenue have looked like if this spend never happened?"
CSV or Excel with dates, revenue, and channel spend. No pixels, no SDKs.
