Additional visits Measured monthly AI visits × assumed growth × ramp 2\. Gross profit Additional visits × lead rate × close rate × customer value × margin 3\. ROI (Projected gross profit − total investment) ÷ total investment Worked example: 250 measured monthly AI visits, 3% becoming leads, 20% closing, $5,000 customer value and 70% gross margin.

We will show you your own numbers. [Book a demo](/strategy-session/) What does this calculator estimate? It estimates the additional leads, customers, revenue and gross profit that could result from growth in your existing AI referral traffic. It then compares gross profit with your planned investment to estimate ROI and payback. How do the three scenarios work? The scenarios apply 25, 50 and 100 percent growth to the monthly AI referral visits you enter. Each scenario ramps toward that target over your selected ramp period. The growth rates are assumptions, not measured results. Are these estimates a guarantee of results? No. The figures are directional projections to help you size the opportunity, not a promise of specific outcomes. Actual results depend on your content, competition, industry, and how aggressively you invest in AI search optimization. Treat the numbers as a planning aid, not a contract. What should I use for current AI referral visits? Use measured sessions from AI platforms in your analytics tool for a recent representative month. Keep that number separate from the growth assumption. If your tracking is incomplete, use a conservative baseline and label it clearly. How is payback calculated? Payback is the first month when cumulative projected gross profit from the additional customers equals or exceeds cumulative investment. If that does not happen during the selected timeline, the result is shown as beyond the model period. ![](/_astro/cloud.BnQ45Ste_297Hdu.webp) ![](/_astro/cloud.BnQ45Ste_297Hdu.webp) ![](/_astro/cloud.BnQ45Ste_297Hdu.webp) Free AI visibility audit ## Find out if AI recommends you See which buyer questions you are missing from, who gets named instead and what to fix first.
