How the Calculation Works

Our SEO ROI Calculator takes you through a simple process to determine the return on investment for your SEO efforts. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how the calculator generates your results:

  1. Setting the Scene: We start with your current traffic and your target traffic goal. We calculate the difference to understand the total increase you aim for.
  2. Growing Your Traffic: Over the growth period you set, we incrementally increase your traffic each month. This simulates the realistic growth you might expect from SEO activities.
  3. Maintaining Peak Traffic: Once the initial growth timeframe ends, we hold your traffic steady at the target level for the duration you believe your SEO efforts will continue to have their full effect (the 'hang time').
  4. Natural Decay: After the hang time, we account for a natural decline in traffic due to various factors, at the decay rate you’ve provided. This shows how traffic might reduce when the SEO impact starts to wane.
  5. The Financial Picture: We convert this traffic into monetary value using your conversion rate and the average conversion value. This is where you see the potential income from the additional traffic.
  6. SEO Investment: We subtract the cost of your SEO activities for the period you're actively investing in SEO.
  7. Visualizing the Results: The cumulative profit or loss and the value of the additional traffic are calculated and displayed on a graph for each month of your chosen timeframe, giving you a visual of your investment over time.
  8. Your ROI: Finally, we calculate the return on investment by comparing the total value of the additional traffic against the total SEO investment.

Our aim is to make this complex calculation transparent and straightforward, providing you with a clear view of how your SEO investment could pay off over time.
