Lead Generation and Conversion Statistics to Guide Your Marketing Strategy in 2023

Take these statistics and use them to guide your marketing strategy in 2023.

What should a lead cost you?

Average lead costs vary substantially from industry to industry depending on competition. Often the higher CPL (cost per lead) industries are those with the highest ROIs too. Below is a table with major industries and their average CPLs for 2023.

Financial Services                          $160 Healthcare                                        $162
Retail                                               $34 Education                                          $208
Travel                                              $106 Consumer services / products         $105

What’s the best way to get leads?

There are a few considerations that go into understanding which lead generation avenue is the best for your business. Your product or service, your short-term and long term plans, your sales funnel among others things.

SEO for example provides the best CPL, but it’s time consuming and results are often achieved only after months and months of nurturing. Once the foundation is laid, leads tend to funnel in quite fast making the CPL low in the long run.

Google Ads or search advertising, generally more expensive, will get you warm leads. Such leads are closer to converting therefore you get quick returns.

Finding the balance is key. Below is a table with major marketing channels and their average CPLs for 2023.

SEO                                                $31 Display advertising                           $38
Email                                              $53 Google Ads                                       $110
Social Media                                  $58 LinkedIn                                             $75
Content Marketing                        $92
