The quality of your output depends on the honesty of your inputs. Here is what each field in the calculator is really asking for:
The quality of your output depends on the honesty of your inputs. Here is what each field in the calculator is really asking for:
Organic Traffic — Use your Google Search Console baseline, not sessions inflated by paid or direct traffic. If you are pre-launch, use a conservative estimate based on comparable sites.
Monthly Organic Traffic — Use your Google Search Console baseline, not sessions inflated by paid or direct traffic. If you are pre-launch, use a conservative estimate based on comparable sites.

Monthly Investment — Include everything: agency fees, internal time, content production, and tooling. An honest cost figure is what makes the ROI calculation meaningful.
