Then, populate your marketing budget under “Monthly Budget” and actual spend after each campaign. The template auto-calculates leads, conversions, revenue impact, and ROI. Review the Summary Dashboard weekly to reallocate budgets toward high-ROI channels (e.g., if SEO generates 200% ROI but Google Ads only 15%, shift funds accordingly).
