Marketing Metrics That Matter: What To Measure and Why

In this episode of Better Marketing: Marketing Magic in Minutes, I’m diving into the importance of marketing metrics, especially for service-based and professional services businesses.

Here’s the thing: if you’re not measuring your marketing, you’re guessing. And guesswork can be dangerous, particularly for small businesses where every pound counts. Without the correct data, it’s easy to waste time, energy, and money on things that aren’t actually moving your business forward.

I’ll be sharing why it’s vital to focus on the metrics that really matter. Not just the surface-level numbers like likes, followers, or views, they might look nice, but they don’t pay the bills. Instead, I’ll show you how to track the results that truly impact your business, like leads, conversions, and customer retention.

You’ll also receive practical tips on identifying the key metrics most relevant to your business, enabling you to make informed decisions and feel more confident about the direction your marketing is taking you.

Ultimately, my message is simple: when you measure what matters, you stop wasting effort on vanity metrics and start building sustainable success.
