Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate SEO ROI?

SEO ROI = (Revenue from Organic Traffic − SEO Costs) ÷ SEO Costs × 100. The hard part is attributing revenue to organic traffic accurately. Use Google Analytics 4 to track organic sessions and assign a revenue value per session based on your conversion rate and ACV.

How long does SEO take to show ROI?

Most campaigns show positive ROI at 6–12 months. New domains take longer (12–18 months). The compounding nature of SEO means ROI typically accelerates after the initial period — content that ranks continues generating value without ongoing spend.

What costs should I include?

Agency or freelancer fees, content creation costs, link building spend, SEO tool subscriptions, and internal team time. If you're doing everything in-house, assign an hourly rate to time spent to get an accurate cost figure.

Is my data stored?

No.

Can I use this on mobile?

Yes.
