Three separate categories of metrics connected to CRM. Activity metrics (what the agency does): posts, reach, clicks, impressions—these are useful but not necessarily indicative of success. Funnel metrics (how the lead moves): conversion rate by channel, cost per qualified lead, average time spent in each stage. Business metrics (what pays the bills): CAC, LTV, ROAS, direct attributable revenue, influenced revenue, churn rate. A reputable agency reports on all three categories separately. One that only reports likes and reach is selling snake oil.
Core Web Vitals are three official Google metrics that measure real user experience: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint, should be <2.5s), INP (Interaction to Next Paint, <200ms, replaced FID in March 2024), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift, <0.1).
