How do we know whether our marketing is working?

Last updated: 9 November 2026

The short answer

Track enquiries, not just visits. Count calls, form submissions and bookings, note where each came from, then divide your spend by the number of enquiries to find your cost per enquiry.

What to measure

The numbers that matter
Measure What it tells you How to get it
Enquiries Whether marketing creates demand Form, call and booking tracking
Cost per enquiry Value for money Spend divided by enquiries
Conversion rate How well your site turns visits into enquiries Google Analytics 4
Source Where each enquiry came from UTM tags and “How did you hear about us?”
Quality Whether enquiries become customers Your sales notes or CRM

What to set up

  • Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console, both free.
  • Tracking for form submissions, phone calls and booking clicks.
  • UTM tags on ads so each shows as a separate source.
