How to measure the ROI of AI in marketing when the baseline is a mess

Measure AI marketing ROI on one locked denominator: cost per booked qualified appointment, not cost per lead. In the worked example below, a single identical quarter reads as a 29.6% deterioration on cost per lead and a 16.7% improvement on cost per appointment. Same media plan, same records, opposite verdicts.

What this covers

  • Cost per lead or cost per booked appointment — which am I actually measuring?
  • How to measure AI marketing ROI from a contaminated baseline
  • MAKE MORE SALES.
  • A worked example: the same quarter, two denominators, two verdicts
  • The four measurement choices that move your reported AI ROI most
  • “My baseline is a mess” — how to rebuild one you can defend

This is a technical summary. The full guide — with the data, tables and worked examples — is on our site: *How to measure the ROI of AI in marketing when the baseline is a mess*.
