FAQ

marketing questions, answered

Q1.What ROAS makes a paid channel profitable?

Break-even ROAS = 1 / gross margin. A 70% margin business needs ROAS above 1.43; a 30% margin business needs ROAS above 3.33. The calculator runs the break-even and the actual contribution after agency fees, creative production, and platform overhead. Don't use 'ROAS > 1' as the bar — that ignores margin entirely.

Q2.How long until SEO content pays back?

The calculator models content investment (hours × rate) against expected organic traffic at 6/12/24 months × conversion rate × LTV. Most B2B content compounds visibly at 9-18 months and breaks even at 12-24. The leverage is duration: a piece that ranks for 3+ years has fundamentally different economics than paid acquisition.

Q3.What's the right email-list-monetization model?

$/subscriber/year × subscriber count, with $/subscriber typically $0.50-3 for content, $5-20 for affiliate-heavy, $50+ for direct-product newsletters. The calculator runs both sides — what your list is currently worth vs what comparable lists in your niche fetch — so you can spot whether the issue is list size or monetization yield.

Q4.How does a referral program payback work?

Payback = referrer reward + referred discount / (referred customer LTV × gross margin). The calculator handles two-sided rewards (giver + getter), churn-adjusted LTV, and the viral coefficient (referred customers who go on to refer). A 1.0+ viral coefficient is the dream — sustainable organic growth — but most programs land at 0.3-0.7 and still pay back in 6-12 months.
