You can't pay your bills with Instagram likes. We break down the danger of "Vanity Metrics" and explain why smart founders obsess over Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) and ROI instead of popularity. Learn how Seya Solutions shifts the focus from "going viral" to "getting paid."
I have a hard conversation with new clients almost every week.
They come to me excited. They show me a TikTok video with 10,000 views or an Instagram post with 500 likes. They think they are winning. Then I ask one simple question:
"How much revenue did that post generate?"
Silence.
Here is the uncomfortable truth: You cannot pay your staff with likes. You cannot pay your server costs with shares.
If your digital strategy is focused on being "popular" rather than being "profitable," you aren't running a business, you’re running a fan club. At Seya Solutions, we don't care about making you famous. We care about making you money.
Marketing agencies love vanity metrics (Likes, Follows, Impressions). Why? Because they are easy to get. You can buy 5,000 likes for a few dollars. You can get 10,000 impressions by setting money on fire with a broad ad targeting strategy.
But these numbers are illusions. They make you feel good (dopamine), but they tell you nothing about your business health.
When we take over a client's marketing, we stop looking at the "heart" icons and start looking at the financial data. Here are the only three metrics you should obsess over:
1. CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) How much does it cost you to get a paying customer? If you spend Rs. 10,000 on ads and get 1 customer who spends Rs. 5,000, you are losing money. It doesn't matter if you got a million likes in the process. We optimize your campaigns to drive this number down.
2. CR (Conversion Rate) You sent 1,000 people to your website. Great. How many bought something? If your website is slow, confusing, or ugly, that number is zero. This is why we integrate our High-Performance Web Development with our marketing. You can't fix a leaky bucket by pouring more water into it.
3. LTV (Lifetime Value) Did they buy once and leave? Or did they become a loyal fan? Real growth comes from retention. We use data to understand what makes customers stay, ensuring your profit compounds over time.
We don't just "run ads." We build Revenue Engines.
If you want a pat on the back and a lot of Instagram notifications, hire a social media influencer.
But if you want to lower your acquisition costs, increase your margins, and dominate your market, you need a technical partner who understands the math behind the marketing.
Stop counting likes. Start counting revenue.
