How to Calculate
Content Marketing ROI
Despite a huge surge in
adoption of content marketing,
measuring the business impact
of content is complicated.
HOW DO I CALCULATE
CONTENT MARKETING ROI?
Is the most common question we hear
from marketers struggling to build their
own business case internally.
“
”
Many are plagued by their inability to measure
the effectiveness of their content initiatives...
but they’re measuring too narrowly...
and vanity metrics such as “likes” and “views”
aren’t enough on their own merit.
Marketers need to be able to measure
things that have a quantifiable value that
they can take to the bank.
In this guide, we’ll map out how to
calculate the impact of content across the business
and the recommended metrics to benchmark your
content initiatives.

PART 1
BUILD THE BUSINESS CASE
All marketing spend should be tied to
quantifiable results the sales team and
executives can understand.
Knowing the costs and
ROI of other marketing
departments will also
help benchmark your content
marketing program and see
how to stack up
in comparison.
If you’re not sure what metrics to ask for, here are
some to get you started:
Conversion rate
Average deal size
Marketing-generated pipeline
Marketing-generated opportunities
Marketing-generated deals
Marketing-generated revenue
Average cost per lead
Customer acquisition cost
Marketing % of customer acquisition cost
Time to payback customer acquisition cost
Cost per registration (content or events)
Cost per sale
PART 2
FIND THE BUDGET
Sometimes it can be difficult for companies
to carve out sufficient budget to fund new content
marketing programs.
But we can find this budget if
we look in the right places.
But we can find this budget if
we look in the right places.
(which is probably not here)
First, we need to have a solid understanding
of your organization’s current content costs
and utilization.
Every organization creates content,
so start with calculating those content costs.
STEP 1
CONDUCT AN AUDIT FOR A SAMPLE OF THE
CONTENT YOUR ORGANIZATION PRODUCES
CONDUCT AN AUDIT FOR A SAMPLE OF THE
CONTENT YOUR ORGANIZATION PRODUCES
STEP 1
APPLY THE AVERAGE COSTS IN ORDER TO GAIN
A SENSE FOR THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM
STEP 2
Next, we need to understand how much
of your content actually gets used.
60-70%
OF CONTENT GOES
COMPLETELY UNUSED
ON AVERAGE,
REMEMBER, CONTENT
THAT GETS CREATED,
BUT NEVER USED IS
WASTE.
100%
(That’s a lot of waste)
How much your
organization is
wasting on
unused content
Amount that
gets used
Current content
production costs
A planned content marketing strategy would provide a
platform to share, reuse and repurpose that unused
content in order to grow brand awareness, improve
brand health and drive conversions.
Next, we need to look at opportunity costs
from under-performing digital assets
We know customers are
tuning out advertising…
The average click-through rate of display ads is 0.1%.
(DoubleClick).1%
8% Only 8% of internet users account for 85% of clicks
on display ads (and some aren’t even humans!)
(comScore)
50% About 50% of clicks on mobile ads are accidental
(GoldSpot)
In fact, you’re more likely to be struck by
lightening than click a banner ad.
Source: Business Insider, 2011
Asking for a small percentage of a larger advertising
budget for short-lived campaigns is a good place to
start looking for budget donations.
Finally, approach budgeted teams
with a partnership opportunity.
There was a team at SAP that had an enormous budget for
advertising campaign landing pages. Those pages typically
saw a 99.9% bounce rate, and any traffic that went there
was paid. I asked for a small percentage of that budget with
the promise of driving organic traffic to the site. It was a win-
win for the both of us.

‘Paid Keywords.’
In this example, let’s say we spend

Repeat Visitor Ratio (RVR) measures the percentage of visitors who return
to your site after an initial visit during some specific time period.
Let’s say you got 4,000 visitors this month and 800 were repeat visitors.
800/4,000 = 20%

RVR is great way to determine whether you are successfully engaging your
site visitors.
New visitors are fine, but repeat visitors are great since once you "have" a
new reader you don't have to spend time and money attracting that
reader--your content is sufficient. So the higher your RVR the better your
website must be at engaging the average new visitor.
BRAND AWARENESS BRAND HEALTH CONVERSIONS
To put a monetary value on RVR, we need to
look at the average amount you’re spending
in advertising to drive net new traffic.
BRAND AWARENESS BRAND HEALTH CONVERSIONS
For our example, let’s say you’re spending $5,000 per month on advertising to drive
new visitors.

If 80%, or 3,200 visitors are net new, you’re spending an average of $1.56 per visitor.
$5,000 / 3,200 = $1.56

•  Scan your competitors’ highest-authority inbound links. Can you get those links too, or do
they provide ideas for getting similar links?
•  Inbound links from non-profit (.org) and education (.edu) sites are especially powerful
•  Build your inbound links gradually. Google algorithms will notice, and may penalize a quick
accumulation of links

  • 8. In this guide, we’ll map out how to calculate the impact of content across the business and the recommended metrics to benchmark your content initiatives.
  • 9. TABLE OF CONTENTS BUILD THE BUSINESS CASE FIND THE BUDGET MEASURE THE BUSINESS CASE BRAND AWARENESS BRAND HEALTH CONVERSIONS YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE REACHED
  • 10. PART 1 BUILD THE BUSINESS CASE
  • 11. All marketing spend should be tied to quantifiable results the sales team and executives can understand.
  • 12. Knowing the costs and ROI of other marketing departments will also help benchmark your content marketing program and see how to stack up in comparison.
  • 13. If you’re not sure what metrics to ask for, here are some to get you started: Conversion rate Average deal size Marketing-generated pipeline Marketing-generated opportunities Marketing-generated deals Marketing-generated revenue Average cost per lead Customer acquisition cost Marketing % of customer acquisition cost Time to payback customer acquisition cost Cost per registration (content or events) Cost per sale
  • 14. PART 2 FIND THE BUDGET
  • 15. Sometimes it can be difficult for companies to carve out sufficient budget to fund new content marketing programs.
  • 16. But we can find this budget if we look in the right places.
  • 17. But we can find this budget if we look in the right places. (which is probably not here)
  • 18. First, we need to have a solid understanding of your organization’s current content costs and utilization.

  • 20. STEP 1 CONDUCT AN AUDIT FOR A SAMPLE OF THE CONTENT YOUR ORGANIZATION PRODUCES
  • 21. CONDUCT AN AUDIT FOR A SAMPLE OF THE CONTENT YOUR ORGANIZATION PRODUCES STEP 1 APPLY THE AVERAGE COSTS IN ORDER TO GAIN A SENSE FOR THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM STEP 2
  • 22. Next, we need to understand how much of your content actually gets used.
  • 23. 60-70% OF CONTENT GOES COMPLETELY UNUSED ON AVERAGE,
  • 24. REMEMBER, CONTENT THAT GETS CREATED, BUT NEVER USED IS WASTE. 100%
  • 25. (That’s a lot of waste)
  • 26. How much your organization is wasting on unused content Amount that gets used Current content production costs
  • 27. A planned content marketing strategy would provide a platform to share, reuse and repurpose that unused content in order to grow brand awareness, improve brand health and drive conversions.
  • 28. Next, we need to look at opportunity costs from under-performing digital assets
  • 29. We know customers are tuning out advertising…
  • 30. The average click-through rate of display ads is 0.1%. (DoubleClick).1% 8% Only 8% of internet users account for 85% of clicks on display ads (and some aren’t even humans!) (comScore) 50% About 50% of clicks on mobile ads are accidental (GoldSpot)
  • 31. In fact, you’re more likely to be struck by lightening than click a banner ad. Source: Business Insider, 2011
  • 32. Asking for a small percentage of a larger advertising budget for short-lived campaigns is a good place to start looking for budget donations.
  • 33. Finally, approach budgeted teams with a partnership opportunity.
  • 34. There was a team at SAP that had an enormous budget for advertising campaign landing pages. Those pages typically saw a 99.9% bounce rate, and any traffic that went there was paid. I asked for a small percentage of that budget with the promise of driving organic traffic to the site. It was a win- win for the both of us. ” “ -  Michael Brenner – Head of Strategy, NewsCred Former VP of Content and Marketing Strategy, SAP
