When it comes to marketing effectiveness, identifying the right KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) is essential for tracking success.
KPIs provide a clear way to measure the impact of your marketing efforts, ensuring that every action you take aligns with your business goals.
Start by defining KPIs that reflect your objectives—whether it’s increasing brand awareness, generating leads, or boosting conversions.
Common marketing KPIs include website traffic, conversion rates, customer acquisition cost (CAC), and return on ad spend (ROAS).
By tracking these kinds of metrics, you’ll gain insights into what’s working and where adjustments are needed.?
Choosing the right KPIs also helps you allocate resources effectively, focus on high-impact activities, and measure ROI more accurately.
Without clear KPIs, it’s difficult to determine whether your marketing campaigns are delivering real value.
In the end, setting and monitoring KPIs is the foundation of effective, results-driven marketing.

1 周Oliver King yes, you are spot on. What I identified are more what I see as foundational level metrics. Without having those in place you will fail to measure any success. The examples you gave will help a lot in knowing whether your tactics in marketing are successful in attracting the right audience, or attracting them in the right way. Do you find that tracking velocity works in B2B only, or have you also found it effective for B2C marketing?

1 周Really appreciate this focus on measurement fundamentals. One observation from working with tech founders: while these traditional KPIs are crucial, I've found the most transformative insights often come from tracking "network velocity" - how quickly and effectively LinkedIn connections convert into actual business opportunities. In our work with $1-10M ARR companies, we've seen that founders who measure this metric alongside standard KPIs tend to generate 30-40% more qualified leads from the same social presence. Would love to hear your thoughts on how you think about measuring relationship value versus pure engagement metrics?
