6 Marketing Metrics That Lading Pages Can Impact





financial

operational

strategic

tactic

al

CTR

Conversion Rate

CAC

ROI

CPL



Customer Acquisition Costnoun (ABBREVIATION CAC)


The total Sales and Marketing cost — includes advertising spend, salaries, commissions and bonuses, overhead — in a time period, divided by the number of new customers in that time period.




CAC Total cost

Number of customers acquired

To calculate CAC, the number of customers acquired is divided by the total S&M cost over a given time period (month, quarter, year); the result is expressed as a dollar amount.




CAC$100,000

10 customers= $10,000

To calculate CAC, the number of customers acquired is divided by the total S&M cost over a given time period (month, quarter, year); the result is expressed as a dollar amount.



Return on Investmentnoun (ABBREVIATION ROI)


A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments.




ROI = (Gain from investment - Cost of investment)

Cost of investment

To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.




ROI $25,000 - $10,000

$10,000= 150%

To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.



High ROI is dependent on increased revenue




Cost Per Leadnoun (ABBREVIATION CPL)


Total cost of online advertisement campaign divided by the number of leads generated. Includes all campaign costs, including advertising spend, design/creative, production and hosting fees.




CPLTotal cost

(spend + creative + production + hosting)

Number of leads

To calculate CPL, the total cost is divided by the number of leads generated; the result is expressed as a dollar amount.




CPL $5,000 cost

100 leads= $50

To calculate CPL, the total cost is divided by the number of leads generated; the result is expressed as a dollar amount.



Higher lead-gen efficiency lowers CPL




Lower CPL means the same spend is generating more leads




Lower CPL trickles up to lower CAC & higher ROI




The surest path to lower CPL is higher conversions




Conversion Ratenoun (ABBREVIATION CVR)


The percentage of visitors who take a desired action — submit a lead form, purchase a product, opt into a subscription, etc.




CVR Converted visitors

Total Visitors

X 100

To calculate conversion rate, converted visitors are divided by total visitors and multiplied by 100; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.




CVR 1,000 Converted visitors

10,000 Total Visitors

To calculate conversion rate, converted visitors are divided by total visitors and multiplied by 100; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.

X 100 10%



Conversion rate is a tiny, non-financial metric




Why? Because conversion rate doesn’t directly translate into dollars.

And landing pages cost money.




But higher conversion rates impact critical marketing metrics.




higher conversion rates=lower cost per leadlower cost per customerhigher ROI




a landing page can eat a website for lunch when it comes to conversion.
