How to read these case studies

What each number actually tells you

A big number only helps if you know what it measures. Here is what every metric on these cards measures, where it comes from, and how much weight it deserves when you compare one case study to another.

Calls

Phone calls counted by call tracking. For most service businesses this is the figure that pays the bills, so it leads the card wherever the case study has it. 578 in 30 days for a day spa is roughly 19 calls every day.

Keywords ranked

How many different searches the site shows up for at all, measured in Ahrefs. A rising count means Google trusts the site with more topics. It is an early signal, not revenue on its own.

Page 1 and #1 rankings

How many of those keywords sit on the first page, or in the first spot. Page one is where searchers actually click, so this count tells you more than the total keyword number.

Map grid top 3

A grid of points across a town, each one checking where the business appears in the Google map pack. 90%+ top 3 means the business showed up in the top three at nine of every ten points checked, or more.

Cost per lead and CPA

What each lead or conversion cost in Google Ads: ad spend divided by conversions, pulled straight from the ad account. Lower is better, as long as the leads are real.

ROAS

Return on ad spend: revenue divided by ad spend. A 1,289% peak ROAS works out to about $12.89 in sales for every $1 spent on ads during that stretch.
