The metrics that matter for growth — and how to track them properly.
Focus on outcomes, not outputs
Followers, impressions and page views feel good but don't pay the bills. The metrics that matter are those tied to revenue: qualified leads, enquiries, sales and customer lifetime value. Start from the outcome and work backward.
Attribute properly
Most customers take multiple touchpoints before converting. A first-click model credits discovery; a last-click model credits the final step. The right answer is usually a blend that shows how marketing as a whole drives growth.
Track the full funnel
Traffic alone tells you nothing. Track the journey from impression to click, to engagement, to conversion, to repeat purchase. Each stage reveals where the friction is and where to focus effort.
Report what informs decisions
Great reporting isn't a wall of numbers — it's a clear story of what's working, what isn't and what to do next. A dashboard should guide decisions, not just document activity.
