Cohort analysis

Cohort analysis examines how groups of customers behave over time. It’s used to measure retention, engagement, or conversion trends across specific segments.

In B2B marketing, cohorts might be defined by acquisition source, onboarding month, or campaign type. Tracking their performance reveals long-term ROI and lifetime value patterns.

This method supports more nuanced forecasting and attribution, allowing teams to invest in audiences that demonstrate sustained profitability.
