How to Measure the ROI of SEO Services

Search engine optimisation (SEO) services offer an opportunity to help your business increase online visibility, helping you reach your target audience, driving organic traffic to your website. As you are paying for SEO services, you want to know your return on investment (ROI), measuring the profit generated from your SEO campaigns.

SEO ROI provides information on how profitable your SEO campaigns are.

ROI Formula for SEO

There is a very basic formula you can use to identify the return on investment of your search engine optimisation services:

(SEO revenue – SEO costs) / SEO costs x 100%

  • SEO Revenue is the amount of money you earn from your SEO campaign, this can be organic traffic, conversions, or sales
  • SEO Costs are the amount of money invested into your SEO campaign. This is the fees you pay your SEO service

Why is ROI Important for SEO?

This is a very important metric helping you identify the value of the services you are receiving, ensuring the fees are justified. It also helps SEO services optimise their strategies, measuring the performance of the campaign, enabling them to make necessary adjustments to boost ROI.

SEO ROI Challenges

While the formula to determine your ROI of your SEO services is basic and straightforward, it is not that simple. There are challenges you may face when it comes to calculating your return on investment, including:

How to Measure Your ROI of SEO Services

There are a few steps you can take to measure your return on investment on your SEO services, including:

Time Scale

The time scale you select should be determined by the frequency and duration of your campaigns, along with the goals you have set. If you run a monthly campaign, measure your ROI on a monthly basis.

Determine Goals

What do you hope to achieve from your SEO services? Are you looking to generate leads, boost brand awareness, or increase sales?

Identify the Value of Each Conversion

Identify the value of each conversion. This is an easy step of e-commerce sites, as you only have to assign a dollar value for each purchase. On the other hand, if you rely on content marketing and lead generation, then you will want to establish an average conversion rate.

This is the percentage of leads entering the sales funnel through particular channels that become paying customers. It's important to know the difference between organic conversions and lead conversions, as they are not the same. Organic conversions are site visitors that perform a desired action. While lead generation is leads that are converted into paying customers.  For example you generate five hundred leads monthly, of which one hundred of these become paying customers, that means your lead conversion is twenty percent.

SEO Campaign Organic Revenue

With your organic conversion numbers, along with the value assigned to your conversions, you can calculate your ROI by multiplying these two numbers together. 

Conclusion

Search engine optimisation is a powerful way to achieve your goals, while growing your business. It is not a one size fits all approach, requiring ongoing monitoring, tracking, and improvements to ensure the best long-term results. The ROI of your SEO Services is essential to demonstrate the value of your campaign.
