How B2B SaaS content should really be measured.
Engagement is easy to celebrate. Leads, however, are far harder to generate. Consequently, many B2B SaaS marketing strategies fail quietly, as they prioritise surface-level metrics over genuine commercial impact.
In 2025, content marketing generates up to three times more leads than outbound marketing while costing 62 percent less, but only when aligned to buyer intent. (Taboola, 2025)
Why Vanity Metrics Still Dominate
Likes, impressions, and shares are visible and immediate. By contrast, revenue impact takes far longer to materialise.
As a result, focusing too heavily on surface-level metrics can create a false sense of progress, while failing to meaningfully influence buying decisions.
What Buyers Actually Respond To
B2B buyers respond to clarity.
Clear articulation of problems they recognise.
Evidence of market understanding.
Expertise presented without exaggeration.
Content that helps justify decisions internally.
This type of content attracts fewer likes but stronger intent.
Measuring What Matters
More meaningful indicators include time spent on key content, repeat visits from the same organisations, and content-assisted conversions. Together, these metrics provide clearer insight into whether content is driving real business growth, rather than simply increasing visibility.
