📊 Track the metrics that actually move the needle. Here’s how EMILY does it.

If you’ve ever looked at your ad report and thought, “Great — I got 1,000 clicks… but what does that mean for my business?” You’re not alone.

At EMILY® Revolutionary Marketing Group, we’ve worked with lead-gen startups, product-based e-commerce stores, and service brands of all sizes. Across the board, we’ve seen how focusing on the wrong metrics leads to wasted ad spend — and how tracking the right ones turns campaigns into revenue engines.

Here Are the Metrics That Matter

We don’t chase vanity metrics. We chase performance.

Below are the top conversion tracking metrics we use in every campaign — along with how we optimize them to help you grow.

1️⃣ Conversion Rate (CR)

Formula: (Conversions ÷ Total Visitors) × 100

Why it matters: Shows how well your ad, landing page, or funnel turns visitors into real actions.

EMILY’s process: We benchmark CR by industry, channel, and campaign type — then use CRO, UX testing, and A/B variants to increase it.

2️⃣ Cost Per Conversion (CPA)

Formula: Ad Spend ÷ Total Conversions

Why it matters: Tells you how much you’re paying for each lead, sale, or form fill.

EMILY’s process: We track CPA weekly and shift budget toward the best-performing audiences, channels, and creative assets.

3️⃣ Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)

Formula: Revenue ÷ Ad Spend

Why it matters: Reveals how much revenue you're generating for every dollar you spend.

EMILY’s process: We set ROAS targets by campaign (especially for eCommerce) and adjust bidding strategies using tools like Maximize ROAS in Google Ads.

4️⃣ Conversion Value

Why it matters: Not every lead is worth the same — conversion value ties your efforts to revenue.

EMILY’s process: We calculate lead value using your CRM's close rates × average deal size. That way, we’re not just tracking clicks — we’re tracking dollars.

5️⃣ Assisted Conversions

Why it matters: Most users don’t convert on the first click. Assisted conversions measure all the “helping hands” along the way.

EMILY’s process: We use GA4’s attribution modeling to value each channel’s role in the funnel — even when it's not the last click.

6️⃣ Top Conversion Paths

Why it matters: Helps you understand what touchpoints — from ad to blog to email — are driving results.

EMILY’s process: We analyze these paths to sequence messaging, timing, and platforms for better performance across your funnel.

7️⃣ Device & Channel-Specific Metrics

Why it matters: Your audience doesn’t behave the same on every platform or device.

EMILY’s process: We compare performance across mobile, desktop, Meta, LinkedIn, and more — then tailor creative, bids, and landing pages for the winners.

8️⃣ Repeat Conversions / Lifetime Value (LTV)

Why it matters: Getting a customer once is great. Knowing if they’ll return is even better.

EMILY’s process: We connect GA4 with your CRM to track LTV — then scale audiences who convert again and again.

9️⃣ Funnel Drop-Off & Form Abandonment

Why it matters: If users are clicking but not finishing the form or checkout, something’s wrong.

EMILY’s process: We track engagement in Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity to find friction points — and fix them fast.
