Modern customers use multiple devices throughout their buying journey, making traditional tracking methods obsolete. ClickMagick's cross-device tracking technology connects these touchpoints for complete attribution accuracy.
The Multi-Device Reality
Research shows that 98% of consumers switch between devices during their purchase journey. They might discover your product on mobile, research on tablet, and purchase on desktop. Without cross-device tracking, you're missing crucial attribution data.
Common Cross-Device Scenarios
1. Mobile Discovery, Desktop Purchase: Customer sees your ad on mobile but completes purchase on desktop
2. Work vs. Home Devices: B2B customers research at work but purchase from home
3. Shared Devices: Family members using different devices for the same purchase decision
4. App to Web Transitions: Users moving between mobile apps and web browsers
The Attribution Gap Problem
Traditional tracking methods create massive attribution gaps:
- Google Analytics shows these as separate, unconnected sessions
- Facebook Pixel misses cross-device conversions
- Email platforms can't connect mobile opens to desktop clicks
- Affiliate networks lose track of multi-device customer journeys
How ClickMagick Solves Cross-Device Tracking
Probabilistic Matching: Advanced algorithms analyze user behavior patterns, timing, and device characteristics to connect related sessions across devices.
Deterministic Linking: When users log in or provide identifying information, ClickMagick creates definitive connections between devices.
Fingerprint Technology: Unique device signatures help identify when the same user returns on different devices.
Real-Time Synchronization: Cross-device connections happen instantly, providing immediate attribution accuracy.
Real-World Cross-Device Success Stories
