Key PPC metrics: How to measure a campaign's success [Infographic]

A clear objective.

You can’t measure success without knowing what it looks like for your business. Before you start to run search or social ads, you must determine your goal for your campaign.

There are two types of objectives we normally deal with:

Awareness. If you go with an awareness campaign, you’ll measure KPIs like reach, impressions, click-through rate and cost per click.

Conversion. If you select a conversion campaign, success will be measured based on contacts gained, conversions or purchases.

Let’s look at the different metrics you can use to measure success for each of these campaigns.
