View the performance of a single HubSpot campaign to measure its impact on contacts, deals, and traffic to your website. You can also analyze the overall effectiveness of your campaigns in your analytics tools.
Analyze the effectiveness of your campaign with campaign attribution reports. Learn more about using campaign attribution reports.
Please note:
- HubSpot will only attribute asset data to a campaign after association. Campaign analytics, such as the Overview report, will not include any metrics prior to the association. However, these metrics can still display in the individual asset's data within the Performance tab.
- The closed deals and influenced revenue metrics will be removed on June 12, 2023 in Marketing Hub Enterprise accounts. Moving forward, the following alternatives are recommended:
-
- To measure a campaign's impact on closed deals, you can use deals with attributed revenue.
- To measure a campaign's impact on influenced revenue, you can use attributed revenue or contacts with attributed revenue.
- To keep track of any existing and past data, you can use the export feature in the Campaign Analytics tool.

Analyze campaign attribution
In each campaign, you can review the new contacts, deals, and deal revenue generated by the campaign's assets.
- On the Campaign Analytics page, click a campaign name.
- Click the Attribution tab. Review how interactions with the campaign’s assets have resulted in the creation of contacts and deals, as well as the revenue gained from closed deals.
- To configure your report dates, at the top of page, use the date picker to select a date range or set specific dates. When filtering your campaign attribution by date, do note the following:
- New contacts and deals are measured by the date of creation, not of the interaction. Similarly, filtering a revenue report by date will include deals that have been closed within the date range.
- By default, reports are filtered by All data, which includes all data up to the current date. To include future dates in a report, manually set the date range to include those dates.
- To select your attribution model, at the top of page, click the Attribution model dropdown menu and select an attribution model.
- To select your attribution data, in the top left, select Contact create, Deal create, or Revenue.
- Contact create: measure how effective the campaign’s assets are at generating new contacts. When a visitor interacts with a campaign asset and is later created as a contact, the interaction will receive credit for the contact being created. Learn more about building contact create attribution reports.
- Deal create: measure how effective the campaign’s assets are at generating new deals. When a contact interacts with a campaign asset and a deal is created and associated with the contact, the interaction will be attributed for the deal being created. Learn more about building deal create attribution reports.
- Revenue: measure how effective the campaign’s assets are at generating revenue from closed deals. When a contact interacts with a campaign asset and a deal that’s associated with the contact is closed, the interaction will be attributed for generating the deal’s revenue. Learn more about building revenue attribution reports.

- On the top right of the chart, click Actions > Save as report.
- In the right panel, enter the Report name.
