Short answer
Linear attribution is a multi-touch model that gives equal conversion credit to every recorded touchpoint in a customer journey. If a buyer interacted with four channels before converting, each receives 25% of the credit. It acknowledges the whole path, but treats every interaction as equally influential, which rarely reflects how customers actually decide.
