ROI =( Net Profit / Cost of Investment) x 100
Where,
ROI stands for Return on Investment
Net Profit the amount we earn after subtracting all allowances business expenses.
Cost of Investment the amount which we invested to start the business.
ROI in SEO and PPC
It is normal human behavior that everyone expects a profit on his investment whether it will be in any field, let’s suppose in our daily life if we invest Rs.10 then we expect bare minimum profit from that small piece of investment. So, in the same, every client expects from a search marketing agency.
ROI may differ to figure out in SEO & PPC :
The scenario in SEO ROI :
- Search engine ranking: In this, we have to make it sure whether the short-tail keywords perform well or long-tail keywords in SERP. It hardly matters from where the traffic is targeted from SERP.
- Building Links: If we are working on building links for generating leads, to rank our website or running any campaign then we have to include a list of inbound links that resulted in purchases, which includes details from organic search engine traffic as well.
- In SEO we can calculate ROI for which we need a few things:
- Keywords( Volume of keywords also)
- Cost of SEO
- No of potential new clients
- Profit per new client
The scenario in PPC ROI: In PPC, if we are talking about ROI it is ROAS which means a return on ad spends.
ROAS = PPC Revenue – PPC Cost/ PPC Cost , usually shown in percentage .
How ROI Changes
The scenario of ROI in PPC:
Scenario 1:
- Average sales increase = ROI also Increases
- Average sales decreases = ROI also Decreases
IDEAL SITUATION = Average Sales should increases
Scenario 2:
- Cost per click (CPC) increases = Cost on advertising increases, then ROI Decreases
IDEAL SITUATION = CPC should Decrease
Scenario 3:
- Conversion rate increases =Low cost on advertising to get sale, so ROI, in turn, goes up.
IDEAL SITUATION=Conversion rate should increase
For determining the ROI of any campaign we need to focus on these elements :
- Advertisement cost
- Clicks
- Conversions
- Revenue
