Tracking Your Return
Understand whether your marketing spend is actually making you money
What is ROI?
ROI stands for Return on Investment. In plain terms, it answers the question: "For every dollar I spend on marketing, how much do I get back?" If you spend $100 on ads and make $500 in sales from those ads, your ROI is 5x — you got five dollars back for every one you spent.
How to check your ROI
Type /roi in chat and your Director will pull together what it knows about your marketing spend and results. It combines data from your analytics, ad platforms, and any sales figures you have shared.
Tip: The more information you give your Director about your sales and revenue, the more accurate your ROI tracking becomes. Even rough numbers help — "We made about $10,000 last month" is better than nothing.
Understanding the numbers
Your Director explains ROI without financial jargon. It will tell you things like: "Your Instagram ads cost $200 this month and brought in roughly 15 new enquiries. Based on your average booking value, that is about $1,500 in potential revenue — a strong return." It focuses on what matters to your business, not abstract percentages.
What affects your ROI
Several things influence your marketing return:
-
How well your content resonates with your audience.
-
Whether your website converts visitors into customers.
-
How targeted your advertising is.
-
Your pricing and the value of each customer.
-
Consistency — marketing compounds over time.
Improving your return
After reviewing your ROI, ask your Director "How can I improve my return?" It will suggest specific actions — like shifting budget from underperforming channels, improving your website conversion rate, or doubling down on content that is already working.
