Plugging these numbers into the formula, we get:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>ROI = [(10000 &#8211; 1500) \/ 1500] x 100 = 566.66, or an ROI of just over 566%. This can also be stated as an ROI of 5.6 (for every dollar spent, 5.6 dollars are earned).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a simple example with nice round numbers, but in reality, tracking revenue and costs correctly can be trickier. Let\u2019s look at figures you should consider when running your calculator.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify Automation Costs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The automation cost portion of the formula may have multiple inputs rather that you need to add together. These can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Subscription costs:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Marketing automation platforms have costs. Often, for a new solution, businesses will sign up for more flexible monthly plans which are typically more expensive. Once familiar and satisfied with a solution, they can opt for cheaper annual plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Data migration fees: <\/strong><a href=\"\/blog\/ai-integration-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI integration services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may include costs associated with transferring data between systems or to new systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Training and staff time costs:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some solutions may require staff training, which can produce costs in terms of staff time. While this may not be significant and isn\u2019t usually an ongoing cost, small business budgets are tight and it\u2019s important to factor in every cost. Some staff time may also be needed to work in collaboration with the automation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Agency time:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Agency time may be billed to maintain an automation, pull relevant data, and ensure a solid ROI.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify Automation Returns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like costs, returns can be made up of multiple components like the following:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Increased leads: <\/strong><a href=\"\/blog\/ai-powered-funnels\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI-powered funnels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can generate more leads through automated campaigns. While these may not show up on the bottom line as revenue sources yet, they are of great value to businesses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>More conversions:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By setting up adequate conversion tracking, extra conversions can be attributed to specific solutions and added to market automation ROI.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lifetime value growth:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Automations like <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/ai-email-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI email marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can foster stronger client relationships, boosting their average lifetime value.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a return like increased leads, you need to attribute a dollar value to each lead before plugging it into the formula above. This value will vary from one client to the next, but you could use a formula like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Average lead value = Average customer value x conversion rate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the average customer value is $15,000 and the average conversion rate for leads in your client\u2019s pipeline is 10%, the value of each lead would be $1500.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Grab our free ebook to learn more about using automation in your marketing strategy here &#8211;&gt; <a href=\"\/content-library\/guides\/agency-marketing-through-automation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agency Marketing through Automation<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry Benchmarks for M<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arketing Automation ROI<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An industry benchmark is a point of reference against which results can be assessed.

For instance:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Email open rates:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the upper end, email open rates are around 41.6% in industries like real estate, finance, health and fitness, and manufacturing. On the lower end, IT, online courses, and construction see open rates of around 33% (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/sales\/average-email-open-rate-benchmark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HubSpot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SEO:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In a snapshot from August 2023, the median number of clicks on search engine results across all industries was 1730 (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/databox.com\/seo-industry-benchmarks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Databox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). But this varies considerably by industry\u2014for example, clients in the automotive space have a higher median number of clicks (8710), while SaaS companies have a lower median (1670). It\u2019s important to look for benchmarks specific to your small business clients\u2019 industries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Website conversions:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ecommerce website conversions range between 1.84% and 3.71% depending on the niche, while B2B websites generally see higher conversion rates, around 2.23% to 4.31% (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/matrixmarketinggroup.com\/2024-digital-marketing-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matrix Marketing Group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benchmarks are a useful starting point, but they aren\u2019t the upper limit of what you can achieve.

For example, if a lead opens every email and has a high level of engagement with content, they\u2019re more likely to convert and would have a higher score.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep leads engaged\u2014and get valuable behavioral data\u2014lead nurturing campaigns are essential. These are automated email flows that deliver relevant content to email lists consistently, moving them along the sales funnel toward conversion. The aim is to send content that maximizes the likelihood of conversion and shortens the sales cycle, so consistent use of A\/B testing is key to helping your clients craft more impactful emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Get a report card of your prospect\u2019s performance across a variety of channels so you can create powerful and persuasive messaging that you know will resonate.
