SEO ROI (return on investment) proves whether your efforts pay off. Rankings alone do not pay the bills — you need to connect SEO to traffic, leads and revenue.
Vanity vs Value Metrics
- Vanity: raw rankings and impressions alone.
- Value: organic conversions, qualified leads, revenue from organic.
Metrics to Track
- Organic traffic and its trend over time.
- Conversions from organic (sign-ups, sales, calls).
- Keyword rankings for money terms.
- Cost saved vs paid ads for the same traffic.
Calculating ROI
Compare the revenue (or lead value) generated by organic traffic against your SEO investment. Even modest organic growth often beats paid channels over time because it compounds.
