What are multichannel funnels?
What insights do you get from multichannel funnels? With multichannel funnels you can calculate the conversion attribution of your channels and campaigns. In other words: the value of your assisted and actual conversions added together. What does this mean exactly? All reports (except for multichannel funnels) in Google Analytics use the latest indirect click accounting model. 100% of the conversion value is attributed to the last indirect click before the conversion (excluding direct traffic).
