What is SEO ROI?
SEO ROI (Return on Investment) measures the profitability of your Search Engine Optimisation efforts. It compares the amount of money invested in SEO to the additional revenue generated due to increased organic traffic and conversions.
Why does the calculator show different scenarios?
SEO results can vary based on numerous factors. The different scenarios (Realistic, Best Case, and Worst Case) help you understand the range of potential outcomes and plan accordingly.
How accurate is this calculator?
While the calculator provides estimates based on your input information, actual results may vary. It’s designed to give you a general idea of potential ROI rather than exact figures.
Why does the calculator show slow growth in the first few months?
SEO typically takes time to show results. The calculator accounts for this by implementing a gradual growth curve, which is more realistic than assuming immediate returns.
Can I use this calculator for local SEO campaigns?
Yes, you can use this calculator for local SEO campaigns. Input the relevant metrics for your local market.
What should I input for 'Estimated Traffic Increase'?
This should be your estimated percentage increase in organic traffic at peak performance. For example, if you expect to double your traffic, enter 100%.
How do I determine my average conversion rate?
Your conversion rate is the percentage of visitors who complete a desired action (e.g., make a purchase). You can calculate this by dividing the number of conversions by the total number of visitors and multiplying by 100.
What if I don't know my average order value?
If you don’t have this figure, you can estimate it by dividing your total revenue by the number of orders over a specific period.
Can I use this calculator for e-commerce and non-e-commerce websites?
Yes, this calculator can be used for both. For non-e-commerce sites, you may need to estimate the value of a conversion (e.g., the average value of a lead).
How often should I recalculate my SEO ROI?
It’s an excellent practice to recalculate your SEO ROI regularly, perhaps monthly or quarterly. This allows you to track progress and make necessary adjustments to your strategy.
