Every ad platform claims credit for every conversion. ILLIXIS deduplicates to show you the real number, the real ROAS, and which platforms actually deserve your budget.
The Real Problem
Run ads on Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. Each platform counts the same person as its own conversion. Three platforms, three conversion claims, one actual customer. You see 90 conversions in your reports. 47 people actually converted. You're calculating CPA and ROAS on numbers that don't exist.
A lightweight first-party tag on your site captures every ad click. When someone converts, the system deduplicates across all platforms and shows you what really happened.
First-party tag captures click IDs from Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft, Pinterest, and Snapchat. Stored in first-party cookies. No third-party tracking.
When a conversion happens, each touchpoint is matched and one real conversion is recorded. One transaction, one record. No double-counting.
Clean, deduplicated conversions are sent back to each platform's server API. Better data in means better targeting out. Lower CPAs over time.
Standalone attribution tools charge $1,000 to $10,000 per month for this. ILLIXIS includes it in your plan, connected directly to your campaign management.
One real conversion, regardless of how many platforms claim it. Transaction-level dedup eliminates double-counting across every channel.
Platform-reported conversions vs. actual conversions. See real cost-per-acquisition and real return on ad spend for every platform.
Last click, first click, linear, time decay, position-based, Shapley values, and Markov chain. All computed. You pick which to view.
Clean, deduplicated conversions pushed back to each platform's server API. Better signal means better targeting means lower cost per conversion.
Every blog post and landing page emits a content touchpoint when an organic visitor reads it. Conversions credit content the same way they credit ad platforms — so you see exactly which post, article, or page drives revenue.
Your real conversions are sent to each platform's server API. Their algorithms learn from accurate data. Your campaigns get better.

The Small Team
Google says it drove 35 conversions. Meta says 40. LinkedIn claims 15. The real number is 47. Your team has been making budget decisions on a total of 90 that doesn't exist. ILLIXIS shows you the truth.
“We moved 30% of our Meta budget to Google after seeing the real attribution numbers. CPA dropped by half.”
— Marketing Manager
The Lean Team
Enterprise attribution tools sell this exact capability for four to five figures a month. And they don't connect to your campaign management. Both live in one system, so attribution data feeds directly into budget rebalancing.
“We cancelled our standalone attribution tool when we realized ILLIXIS already had the same capability built in.”
— Growth Lead, 3-Person Team
The Founder
Every platform's algorithm optimizes toward what it measures. When you feed it inflated conversion data, it optimizes toward the wrong audience. Server-side relay sends your real conversions back to each platform, so their algorithms learn from clean data.
“Our Meta campaigns started performing better within two weeks of switching to server-side conversions. The algorithm finally had accurate data to optimize against.”
— Founder, DTC Brand
Standalone attribution tools give you a report. Here, attribution data connects directly to your campaign management. When the numbers show Meta outperforming Google, your budget rebalances automatically. Real data, real action, one system.
Included on every paid plan — last-click on Starter, multi-touch on Professional, data-driven Shapley + Markov on Enterprise. No separate subscription.
One platform. You approve. ILLIXIS executes. Marketing that just happens.
