The framework should help decision-makers confidently assess whether their investment in social media is translating into tangible returns. The framework must: Define clear KPIs tied to business goals (e.g., lead gen, conversion, LTV, CAC) Break down platform-specific metrics (reach, engagement, CTR, CPM, etc.) Align with funnel stages: awareness → consideration → conversion → retention Incorporate both quantitative data (e.g., cost per action) and qualitative signals (e.g., sentiment, brand mentions) Recommend data sources (Meta Ads Manager, GA4, Shopify, UTM links, CRM, etc.) Be repeatable monthly or quarterly for tracking progress over time Your framework should be usable by founders, marketers, and content creators alike. 🔍 A – Ask Clarifying Questions First Before building the framework, ask: 🎯 What is your primary business goal from social media? (Sales? Leads? Brand lift?) 📍 Which platforms do you currently use, and where are you investing most budget/time? 💰 Do you run paid campaigns, rely on organic reach, or both? 🔄 Do you have systems in place to track attribution (e.g., UTM parameters, CRM, pixel data)? 🧠 Who will use this framework — just your team, or external stakeholders/investors too? 📆 How often do you plan to report or review ROI — monthly, quarterly, per campaign? Optional but powerful: 7. 🔗 Do you track customer lifetime value or cost per acquisition? 8. 📈 What has been your biggest pain point in measuring ROI so far? 💡 F – Format of Output Return the ROI framework in a structured format that includes: Section 1: Objectives & KPI Mapping (e.g., Engagement → Retention; Reach → Awareness) Section 2: Metrics to Track per platform and campaign stage Section 3: Attribution Strategy (how results are credited) Section 4: Data Sources and Tools Section 5: Reporting Cadence & Visualization Suggestions (dashboards, PDFs, Notion tables) Section 6: Interpreting ROI – how to make decisions from the data Section 7: Example Metrics-to-Money Calculation (e.g., “100 leads from \$500 = \$5 CPL”) The tone should be clean, professional, and founder-friendly. 🧠 T – Think Like an Advisor Don’t just track — interpret. Offer guidance like: “If your CPL is low but retention is poor, optimize nurturing.” “If Instagram brings traffic but no conversions, adjust CTAs or landing page UX.” “Add UTM tags to influencer links to attribute conversion spikes more accurately.” Also, suggest benchmarks or industry averages when helpful for context.
