ROI = ((Total Revenue - Total Cost) / Total Cost) x 100
Projected traffic grows monthly: Traffic x (1 + Growth%)^month. Revenue = Traffic x Conversion Rate x Order Value. Payback month = first month where cumulative revenue exceeds cumulative cost.
SEO ROI = ((Revenue from SEO - Cost of SEO) / Cost of SEO) x 100. Track organic traffic growth, apply your conversion rate and average order value to estimate revenue, then compare against total SEO spend over the period.
SEO typically takes 3-6 months for initial results and 6-12 months for significant ROI. Results compound over time as your domain authority grows. Competitive niches may take longer, while low-competition keywords can rank in weeks.
A good SEO ROI is 500-1000%+ over 12 months. Unlike paid ads, SEO continues generating traffic after you stop investing. Most successful campaigns achieve 5-10x returns within the first year, with compounding benefits in subsequent years.
