Understanding ROI
ROI = Profit/AdWords Spend
125
What’s a Keyword Worth?
#1: Calculate Profit Before Advertising Costs
• Determine profit per sale from knowledge of your business.
• Find number of AdWords sales from Google Analytics and Conversion Tracking.
• Take profit per sale, multiply by number of sales to calculate gross profit before advertising costs.
126
Example:
• $1,000 Profit Per Sale
• x 1,000 Sales
• = $1,000,000 Gross Profit (before advertising costs)
127
How Do I Know What to Bid?
#2: Calculate Value - Per Click
• Value Per Click = Profit, Before Advertising Costs, Divided by Number of Clicks.
• Ensure Max CPC Bid < Value Per Click!
128
Example:
• $100 gross profit
• Divided by 5 clicks
• Equals $20 per click
So don’t bid more than $20 per click!
129
How Do I Know What to Bid?
• #3: As You Work With Max CPC Bids:
• If profit increases, increase bid.
• If profit decreases, decrease bid.
• Trial and error until maximum profitability.
