How to Track ROI from SEO Campaigns

To determine if your SEO investment is successful, you need to identify your SEO Return on Investment (ROI). This is the financial return on your SEO investment. It is not simply ranking for keywords or where your site shows up in results. This is about identifying how your organic SEO is directly contributing to your bottom line. 

How to Calculate ROI from SEO Campaigns

Before you can measure your SEO efforts, you need to track your efforts effectively. This involves having Google Analytics and Google Search Console. With these set up you can follow the below steps to calculate your ROI from SEO campaigns effectively.

1. Set Your Revenue Goals and Conversions

For most businesses, a conversion is a phone call, newsletter sign up, or the submission of an online contact form. At the same time, for ecommerce sites, a conversion would be a sale. You need to determine what your conversions are and how you can assign a monetary value to them.

For example, if you know that 10% of your newsletter subscribers eventually use your services with an average lifetime value of £1,000, then each newsletter sign up is worth £100.

2. Organic Traffic and Conversions

This step requires that you track your organic traffic and conversions with relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs can be organic traffic, your ranking in search results, or conversion rates. 

This information is available in Google Analytics. In order to find the information, go to the reports section and acquisitions and then traffic acquisitions. Here you can filter your data to see only SEO traffic. 

For conversions, you head to the reports section, then engagement, and conversions. This shows you how many conversions you received across all your digital channels, including organic results.

3. Calculate Your SEO Costs

In order to understand your ROI from SEO campaigns, you need to take all expenses into account that relates to SEO. This may be your agency fees, software subscriptions, along with content creation. These costs need to be weighed against the revenue generated through your SEO efforts.

4. Bring it Together

Now you need to apply a simple formula that will help you calculate the ROI from SEO campaigns. 

SEO ROI = (Revenue from Organic Search − Cost of SEO Investment) / Cost of SEO Investment

For example, a local electrician will see a conversion as a online form submission or a phone call. If each job brings in an average of £300 and the SEO efforts are generating an average of 150 phone calls monthly, that works out to £45,000 in revenue. 

Now, the electrician is spending £5,000 monthly on SEO, so their ROI would be £45,000 - £5,000 / £5,000. This shows the electrician generates £8 for every £1 spent on SEO campaigns.
