answers to your questions

Master content ROI confidently

What metrics do I need to calculate content ROI?+

You'll need total content costs (production + distribution), attributed conversions or leads, average deal size or customer LTV, and a chosen attribution window. The calculator handles the rest automatically, even with partial data.

Can I use this for video or podcast content?+

Absolutely. The calculator works for any content format. Simply input the production costs and track conversions from that asset using UTM parameters or source tracking. The ROI formula is format-agnostic.

How does attribution work without complex tracking?+

You can choose between first-click, last-click, or linear attribution models. For advanced use, connect Google Analytics data via the integration wizard. The tool also offers manual entry if you prefer control.

Is there a limit on how many campaigns I can analyze?+

No limits. You can track unlimited content assets, campaigns, or time periods. All data stays locally in your browser unless you choose to export reports.

Can I share reports with clients or stakeholders?+

Yes, each report can be exported as a beautifully formatted PDF with your own logo placeholder and custom notes. Perfect for client presentations or board meetings.

Does it integrate with HubSpot or Salesforce?+

Native integrations for HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive are available in the free version. You can pull lead and deal data directly into ROI calculations.

How accurate are the ROI forecasts?+

Based on historical performance of 1,200+ campaigns, our predictive engine has 89% accuracy within a ±7% margin. Accuracy improves as you add more historical data.

Do I need to create an account?+

No account required for basic calculations. Creating a free account lets you save scenarios, access history across devices, and unlock API connections — but it's optional.
