Search to revenue report
also called SEO ROI reportOrganic conversion reportSearch revenue attributionOrganic business impact
The R5 report: organic sessions, the conversions and revenue attributed to them, and the pages and query groups behind those outcomes. It runs from the analytics side rather than from Search Console because that is where the goals live, and it names the attribution model in the report rather than in a footnote. The pairing with visibility metrics is what makes 'ranks fine, converts nothing' visible.
Who it is for, and what it settles
- Audience
- CMO
- Job to be done
- Connect search visibility to the named business goals leadership actually asks about.
- Cadence
- Monthly
The metrics, in three tiers
Headline numbers carry the story. Diagnostics explain a headline that moved. Guardrails stop a wrong conclusion. Every row links to the definition, the formula, the caveats and what the metric is not all live on the metric page.
Headline What you lead with 4
Diagnostic Reached for when a headline moves 8
- Organic clicks raw measure clicks
- Users raw measure users
- Conversions by goal raw measure conversions per named goal
- Total value monetary value in the currency configured in your analytics property
- Transactions raw measure transactions
- Funnel drop-off rate rate fraction of the previous step's count
- AI referral conversions raw measure conversions
- Paid conversions raw measure conversions
Guardrail Stops the wrong conclusion 4
- Conversion-rate change derived metric difference between two rates, on whatever scale the underlying rate measure carries, rounded to two decimal places
- Real, noise or can't-tell statistical verdict one of real, noise, can't-tell
- Practical magnitude statistical verdict not produced
- Events (total and average) raw measure events

It reads the upper rungs only. If a lower rung is broken, fix that before you present this, a report that never checks whether pages can be reached will keep reporting movement that may not be yours.

What to say out loud when you present it
Last-click attribution understates search's role in assisted paths, say which model produced the number before it goes in a deck. Pre-aggregated analytics exports and raw event feeds behave differently: totals from a pre-aggregated feed can be summed, unique-user style measures cannot, and mixing them inflates rates. Search Console clicks and analytics sessions will not reconcile, and presenting them as the same quantity is the most common error in this report.
