Impressions and clicks fill a report without filling a class. Tracking paid-attributable enrollments and ROAS as KRs shifts the goal from activity to outcome — the enrollments each channel can actually be credited with producing.
CPA drifts upward quietly as auctions heat up and creative fatigues. Tracking CPA and CPC as KRs turns cost efficiency into a monitored number, so the team acts on rising costs before a quarter's budget is spent inefficiently.
Losing the auction on your highest-intent program keywords hands enrollments to competitors. Tracking impression share on priority keywords as a KR keeps visibility where the intent — and the return — is highest.
Retargeting is cheap to run and easy to leave on autopilot. Tracking retargeting-driven conversions as a KR forces the pool, frequency, and creative to actually convert, rather than spending on audiences that would have converted anyway.
Three steps to go from download to a filled-in plan for your team.
Walk through three pre-filled objectives and nine key results with realistic targets, owners, progress scores, and lifecycle statuses. Use it as a reference before entering your own data.
