All social media managers know that one of the most important aspects of the job is being able to prove and measure the return on investment.
If you want to be able to prove that your social media marketing efforts are successful, you need to understand how to measure ROI.
Without a clear-cut way to measure return on efforts spent on social, social media professionals fail to be able to best prove how impactful their work is to a company's bottom line. This could lead to shrinking social budgets and a loss of community.
Why ROI Is Hard To Measure:
Measuring return on investment is a complex area when it comes to social media marketing because it requires combing through analytics across each social media platform, as well as Google Analytics.
Think tons of spreadsheets, and lots of time spent tracking hundreds of UTMs.
What social media managers truly need is a place where they can go to prove the ROI of social media.
