The 6 Metrics You Need to Calculate the ROI of Social Proof

As a marketer, you’re always looking for ways to boost your company’s bottom line and drive growth. But when you’re managing a variety of campaigns that use social proof to promote brand awareness or conduct influencer marketing, how do you know you’ve gained more than you’ve spent?

‘Likes’ and ‘shares’ are a great way to measure engagement, but unlike conversions, engagement lacks a dollar sign next to it… which makes spending money on social and content that much harder to justify. Without clear, measurable outcomes, you’ll start to wonder if there’s even any ROI in social proof if you can’t see the direct impact your strategy is having.

Yet you know social proof isn’t something to sleep on—consumers rely on the words of others before deciding to buy from your brand (after all, proof sells, promises don’t ). Among B2B buyers, 95% said they view content as a marker of trust when entering the decision stage, so the value is clearly there. Social proof bolsters brand trust and awareness, which in turn leads to real dollars in the future. So then how exactly do you measure the ROI of social proof?
