Step 1: Set Your Monthly Revenue Target
Instead of asking "How much should I spend on ads?", you start with your end goal: How much money do you want your business to make this month? (For example: $50,000).
Don't guess your ad budget. Input your monthly revenue goal and let the math calculate the exact ad spend, clicks, and leads you need.
Simple step-by-step math explained in Grade 8 English
Instead of asking "How much should I spend on ads?", you start with your end goal: How much money do you want your business to make this month? (For example: $50,000).
We divide your Revenue Target by your Average Order Value. If you want $50,000 and each customer spends $500, you need 100 paying customers ($50,000 ÷ $500 = 100 customers).
Not every lead buys. If your sales team closes 20% of potential leads, you divide 100 customers by 0.20 to find you need 500 total leads (100 ÷ 0.20 = 500 leads).
Not every website visitor becomes a lead. If 7.04% of visitors fill out your form, you divide 500 leads by 0.0704 to get about 7,102 website clicks.
Multiply your required clicks by your Cost Per Click ($4.22 × 7,102 = ~$29,970). Then add a 15% testing safety net so you can try new ad copy and keywords!
Use the sliders! Increasing your website conversion rate by just 1% lowers the number of clicks and budget required to hit the exact same $50,000 revenue target!
