Useful? Yes. Sufficient? Not even close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to proving ROI is defining\u00a0what success\u00a0actually means\u00a0for the business, not the channel.\u00a0So true\u00a0brand-to-local\u00a0marketing ROI\u00a0measurement\u00a0starts with business-level metrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Revenue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer acquisition cost (CAC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer lifetime value (LTV)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If leadership is\u00a0optimizing\u00a0profitability and scalability, your ROI framework needs to reflect that from the start.
