Why is content ROI hard to measure?

Content often acts as an "assist" in the customer journey rather than the final click. To measure it correctly, you need to look at both direct conversions and its impact on brand awareness and SEO.

How do you calculate Content ROI?

ROI = (Revenue attributed to content - Cost of production/distribution) / Cost of production/distribution.

What costs should be included in content ROI?

Writer fees, designer costs, editing time, promotion/ad spend for that content, and any software tools used for distribution.

Is SEO traffic considered in content ROI?

Yes! A common way to value SEO traffic is "equivalent PPC cost"—how much you would have paid in Google Ads to get the same amount of traffic.
