What Ambitious Businesses Should Actually Measure From Marketing

The Vanity Metrics Distraction

It is easy to generate reports filled with soaring green arrows: 100,000 video views, 4,000 Instagram likes, and 50,000 impressions. But unless those metrics translate into high-intent inquiries, contracted deals, and customer lifetime value, they are vanity indicators that do not sustain a business.

The Real Metrics That Matter
