Frequently Asked Questions

What inputs are mandatory versus optional?

Essential inputs include channel names and spend amounts. To unlock ROI insights, add metrics like costperclick or conversion rates. You can skip these and stick to a simpler cost overview if needed.

How accurate are the output metrics?

The AI uses your inputs and industry averages to estimate ROI, CPA, etc. Accuracy depends on how precise your inputs are. These are projections—not guarantees—but valuable for comparative planning.

Can I compare multiple scenarios?

Yes! You can run multiple scenarios (e.g. Low, Medium, High spend) to see how projections change. Export each to compare sidebyside.

What if I don’t know my conversion rate?

Use industry trends as placeholders or estimate based on similar campaigns. Even rough inputs help the AI generate useful guidance. As real data comes in, update and rerun for better accuracy.

Does it include labor and overhead costs?

Yes. Budget for internal resources (staff time, agency fees, tools) to incorporate a holistic view of true marketing cost—not just media spend.

Can I export the results?

Typically, yes—look for “Download report” or “Export” buttons to get a PDF or spreadsheet breakdown for your records or presentations.

Yes. Options usually include sharing a link, PDF, or an embedable chart depending on Cosysta’s export features.

How often should I use it?

Before starting campaigns
During budgeting cycles
After gathering actual results—to measure performance and adjust

Can I integrate it into spreadsheets or tools?

Cosysta may offer integrations (check their documentation). If not native, export the data and import into tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or BI dashboards.

What’s a good marketing budget guideline?

Industry averages range between 5–12% of your annual revenue. More for growth phases, less for established brands. This tool helps refine that benchmark to your real ROI.
