The first step in measuring marketing ROI is to track how much you’re spending on marketing and how that investment is translating into revenue. To do this, you need to capture data metrics from all marketing channels (paid search, organic search, social media, email marketing, etc.) so you can see which channels are driving the most traffic and conversions.

Once you have a good understanding of your website’s traffic sources and conversion rates, you can use analytics tools to calculate your return on investment (ROI). This will tell you how much revenue each marketing dollar is generating and help you determine which channels are worth investing in moving forward.

You should also look at your cost-per-acquisition (CPA) and cost-per-lead (CPL) metrics to see how much you’re spending on marketing versus what you’re earning in return. If your CPA is higher than your average customer lifetime value (CLV), then you’re losing money on your marketing efforts. 

Analytics can help you understand how customers interact with your website or app, where they came from, what they did while they were there, and whether they converted into paying customers. Data insights can give you a more detailed understanding of customer behavior, including what products or services people are buying, how much they’re spending, and what channels they’re using to find you. With this information, you can start to see which marketing tactics are bringing in the most revenue and which ones aren’t worth the investment, and you can optimize your campaigns for better results.
