Marketing without measurement is just guessing. Whether you’re running Facebook ads, email campaigns, or SEO efforts, knowing your Return on Investment (ROI) is crucial for scaling your business.
What is ROI?
ROI measures the profitability of an investment. The basic formula is:
ROI = (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) × 100
A positive ROI means you’re making money; a negative ROI means you’re losing it.
Why Simple Math Isn’t Enough
While the formula is simple, tracking all costs (ad spend, creative costs, software subscriptions) can be tricky. One small error can skew your results.
