Performance Benchmarks

Overview:
Knowing whether your campaign is performing “well” isn’t just about numbers—it’s about context. We compare your results to industry-specific benchmarks and your own past performance.

What We Use to Set Benchmarks:

  • Historical data from similar campaigns

  • Industry averages (e.g., email open rates, ad CTR, bounce rates)

  • Platform-specific metrics (Google, Meta, LinkedIn)

  • Competitor and market research
