A realistic example
Example ROI calculation
| Monthly SEO investment | $2,000 |
| Target keywords | 40 |
| Projected organic traffic (12 mo.) | 6,200 / mo |
| Average conversion rate | 2.8% |
| Average order value | $180 |
Common mistakes
A 10% conversion rate skews everything. Use your real analytics data or a conservative benchmark.
undefined
SEO builds over months. Do not assume month one traffic equals month twelve traffic.
undefined
If customers reorder, one time order value understates your true SEO return on investment.
undefined
Traffic you would win anyway inflates ROI. Focus the model on incremental organic growth.
undefined
Include content, links, and tools, not just the retainer, for an honest ROI figure.
