The five campaign metrics that actually matter

Reach, impressions, likes — these are comfort metrics. Here are the five you should actually be watching if you care about revenue per rupee of ad spend.

1. Cost per qualified lead (CPQL)

Cost per lead is easy to game. Cost per lead that's actually qualified — has budget, has intent, matches your ICP — is the number that should move.

2. Lead-to-opportunity conversion rate

What percentage of leads turn into a serious conversation? If it's below 20%, you have a targeting problem, not an ad-creative problem.

3. Sales cycle length

How many days from first touch to won? If this goes up, either your leads are colder or your follow-up is slower.

4. Revenue per channel

Not clicks per channel — revenue. Render9's multi-touch attribution tells you whether Instagram or WhatsApp is actually closing deals for you.

5. Customer LTV

A ₹200 CPQL is a bargain if the customer is worth ₹20,000 over three years. Without LTV in the picture, every ad budget conversation is incomplete.
