This calculator is a tool designed to help marketers and business owners measure the effectiveness of their Google Search Ads campaigns. It calculates key performance metrics like ROI, ROAS, and conversion rates, while providing actionable recommendations for improvement based on industry benchmarks.

This calculator is valuable for:
– Digital marketers managing Google Ads campaigns
– Business owners investing in paid search
– Marketing agencies reporting results to clients
– Anyone wanting to understand if their Google Ads investment is profitable

The calculator provides accurate calculations based on the data you input. The industry benchmarks are derived from aggregated Google Ads performance data across various sectors. However, results should be used as guidance rather than absolute values, as many factors can influence campaign performance.

Yes, all calculations are performed within your browser. No data is sent to or stored on any external servers, ensuring complete privacy and security for your campaign information.

Most of the required information can be found in your Google Ads account:
– Ad spend, clicks, and impressions: From the Campaign or Ad Group reports
– Conversions: From the Conversions report
– Average sale value: From your e-commerce platform or CRM
– Profit margin: From your internal financial data

If you don’t know your exact profit margin, you can use an estimate based on your industry average or make a conservative guess. For most businesses, profit margins typically range from 15% to 50%. For more accurate results, consult with your finance team or accountant.

While the calculator is optimized for Google Search Ads, you can use it for other campaign types. However, keep in mind that the industry benchmarks are specific to Search campaigns, so comparisons may not be directly applicable to Display or Video campaigns.

For best results, use the calculator monthly to track performance trends over time. This allows you to see how your campaign optimizations are affecting your ROI and other metrics.

A positive ROI indicates that your campaign is profitable. Generally:
– 0-50%: Positive but room for improvement
– 50-100%: Good performance
– 100%+: Excellent performance
However, what constitutes a “good” ROI varies by industry and business model.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) measures the gross revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. ROI (Return on Investment) measures the net profit (after accounting for costs) generated for every dollar spent.
For example:
– If you spend $100 on ads and generate $400 in sales, your ROAS is 4.0 (or 400%)
– If your profit margin is 30%, your net profit is $120, making your ROI 20%
