Attribution reports are a great way to understand how your marketing is driving revenue and new deals.
HubSpot offers attribution reports within its tool that can help you automatically connect your revenue to your marketing.

Keep reading to learn more about the report capabilities in HubSpot and other alternatives you should consider.
What are the types of attribution reports in HubSpot
There are three types of attribution reports in HubSpot. Each one measures a different type of conversion so can be used for different goals. They are:
- Contact create attribution report
- Deal create attribution reports
- Revenue attribution reports
It’s worth noting that the bottom two types of attribution reports are only available in the Enterprise level of the Marketing suite which starts at over £2,000 per month.
What each report type does is fairly self-explanatory. Each report will connect marketing back to contacts, deals or revenue. Ideally, you’d have a full view of all of this within one single dashboard.

To create all of these reports, you’ll need to be subscribed to the enterprise level of the marketing hub of tools. This starts at £2,624 per month.
Setting these reports up is easy.
