The first thing you need to do is set up Google Analytics. You don’t want just to set up Google Analytics where you’re tracking all the visits. But you want to set up goal tracking in Google Analytics. Once you see hey we’re getting all these sales and leads, you can look at where people are coming from. If you’re generating a hundred sales a month or a thousand, whatever the number is, but you find 50% of them first find your blog through content marketing or some blog post, that tells you that hey, content marketing is working.

The second thing that you need to be looking at when it comes to the ROI of content marketing is how well your paid advertising is converting. A lot of your paid advertising sales will come from re-marketing. You need to look at the first entry point of where people are first coming from because in many cases you’re going to re-market to them, and you’re going to show them banner ads as they browse the web, relate to your products, relate to your services. And you want to make sure you’re putting some attribution to content marketing. So let’s say you’re getting 500 sales from re-marketing. You know 50% of your traffic is coming from the blog. You know there’s a good chance that a significant portion of your re-marketing sales is also coming from your blog. So you want to attribute some of those sales to your content marketing. So make sure you’re looking at your re-marketing numbers, how many sales it’s generating and what portion of those visitors are from the blog as well.
