Measure ROI on AI marketing tools with a consistent set of metrics tracked each cycle: productivity gain (hours saved per task multiplied by loaded hourly cost), performance lift (change in CTR or conversion versus a non-AI baseline), cost offset (cost of outsourced work minus the cost of the tool), and overall ROI, calculated as total gains minus total investment, divided by total investment. The goal isn’t a precise number but a consistent one — track the same metrics every cycle and the trend tells you whether to expand a use case or kill it.
