Booking (Cost Per Lead vs. Cost Per Booked Call) 3. Buying (Cost Per Close, Estimates, and Revenue) 4. Loyalty (Customer Lifetime Value, Repeat Services, Reviews, and Referrals) You'll also discover the two critical metrics every business owner must track: Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) per channel (Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Local Services Ads) and your Lead-to-Customer conversion rate.
