Small Budget Lead Generation Optimization

Analyzes 3 months of data (minimum threshold) for a small $6.5K/month budget across SEO, PPC, and email marketing using lead-based metrics. Identifies email as severely underfunded ($500/mo generating leads at $63 CPL - 56% better than average) while PPC is overfunded ($4K/mo at $182 CPL). Demonstrates proper handling of limited data by adjusting confidence levels (60-70% vs typical 75-85%) and providing conservative recommendations. Shows operational guidance on what to do with reallocated budget (hiring email marketer, content creation). Includes rollback triggers and risk mitigation specific to small budgets.

Budget Allocation Analysis & Recommendations

Data Quality Assessment

Quality tier: Acceptable (3 months - minimum threshold)
Confidence level: Moderate (60-70%)

Note: 3 months is minimum. Recommendations would be stronger with 6+ months data.

Current Performance Summary
