What Tools You Need to Track Creator ROI Properly

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. And when it comes to creator campaigns, tracking ROI is notoriously messy — especially when you’re using five different tools that don’t talk to each other.

Here’s what you actually need to track ROI the right way — and what to avoid.

1. A Performance Dashboard That Ties to GMV

The core of ROI is this : How much did I pay a creator vs. how much they drove in sales?

You need :

  • Live GMV per creator
  • Retainer + commission tracking
  • ROAS calculation at the creator and campaign level

Growi tracks all of this in real time. No need to wait for post-campaign wrap-ups or juggle 12 spreadsheets.

2. Link + Code Attribution (Not Just One or the Other)

Some customers click creator links. Others just use their discount code. If you're only tracking one path, you're missing a chunk of conversions.

You need :

  • Unique links (with UTM tracking)
  • Personalized discount codes
  • A way to tie both back to the same creator

Growi does this automatically — and even shows you which method is driving more revenue per creator.

3. Multi-Touch Attribution (If Budget Allows)

Not every conversion happens right away. A customer might:

  • Watch a TikTok
  • Visit your site a day later
  • Buy two days after that

You need :

  • A tracking system that supports view-through or delayed attribution
  • A flexible attribution window (e.g. 7-day, 30-day)

Growi’s rolling 30-day GMV tracking lets you capture delayed sales — so your ROI data reflects reality.

4. Content + Conversion Side-by-Side

Sometimes a creator delivers great content but low sales. Other times, they convert like crazy with low engagement.

The best tools let you compare:

  • Number of posts
  • Post performance (likes, shares, CTR)
  • GMV + ROAS for each creator

Growi lets you view both content metrics and sales data together — making it obvious who’s worth rebooking.

5. A Way to Filter and Sort Creators by ROI

If you're running campaigns with 10+ creators, you need to :

  • Instantly see your top performers
  • Filter out creators with low ROAS
  • Export data or create recap decks quickly

Growi’s Creator Leaderboard ranks creators by GMV, ROAS, content quality, and more — no manual sorting required.

TL;DR

The right ROI tracking stack includes :

  • GMV + ROAS dashboard
  • Links + codes attribution
  • Multi-touch visibility
  • Content + conversion metrics
  • Creator performance ranking

Growi gives you all of this in one place — so you can scale what’s working and cut what’s not.
