Annual recurring revenue per customer or order value

This is how much revenue you generate per new customer

 

How many new customers do you want this year

What is your new business target for the next 12 months?

 

Visitor to MQL rate (your campaign conversion rate)

MQL stands for marketing-qualified leads. Let’s imagine you’re a SaaS company and you rely on demos to get new signups. If 1000 people visit your website and 100 of them fill out a demo request form, your conversion rate is 10%

 

MQL to SQL rate

SQL stands for sales-qualified leads. If your marketing department delivers 100 new leads to the sales team and they disqualify half of them (fake details, duplicate details etc.) that’s a MQL/SQL rate of 50%

 

SQL to deal rate

Now imagine your sales team works on the remaining 50 good leads. What proportion can they convert to sales? If they get 10 sales, that’s an SQL/deal rate of 20%

 

IMPORTANT: If you run an online shop

or other type of business where website visitors convert instantly (i.e. online purchase), put your conversion rate in the ‘Visitor to MQL rate’ field and put 100 in both the MQL/SQL and SQL/deal fields

 

Adwords CPC in your industry (average £2 to £8)

If you know your average cost per click or cost per action, put it here. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Adwords or other paid leads channel

 

Adwords CPC campaign management cost per month

If you hire an agency or an in-house advertising specialist, put his monthly wages here

 

Your predicted monthly investment in inbound marketing

If you have a member of staff running a company blog and looking after your social media accounts, put his monthly wages here. Put 0 if you don’t do inbound. Also try increasing the inbound budget and watch the customer acquisiton cost go down

Your Return on Investment (ROI)

SEO Funnel Conversion Rate

This visualises your road from visitor to MQL to SQL and to a closed sale. If you’re an online shop, your funnel conversion equals your conversion rate

 

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR DIGITAL MARKETING ROI

Did the calculator come back with shocking results?

Digital marketing can take your business from a one-man band to a national powerhouse regardless whether you’re in a B2C or B2B sector. Most buying decisions are now made online. The key to setting up a successful strategy is to model your digital marketing ROI to make sure you will stay profitable for the amount of money you spend on marketing.

If your current marketing ROI calculator results came back disappointing, there is a lot that can be done. For example, if you sell a product at £200, you predict 1000 online sales next year and your website converts at 5%. It turns out your ROI is just 2.5:1 which sounds like you’re not going to make that much of a profit.

What would happen if you redesign your landing pages and achieve a 7.5% conversion rate? Suddenly your ROI jumps to 3.75:1 and your sale acquisition cost drops from £80 to £53. And this is without making any changes to budgets.

At White Cat SEO, our mantra is – make sure your landing pages convert as good as they can. Who wouldn’t want to make more sales from the same amount of traffic?
