Campaign Performance Analyzer connects marketing spend to qualified leads, bid invitations, and booked work. Optimize by trade, territory, and project type – not vanity clicks.
Why it matters
Benefits
See which campaigns influenced bid invitations, awarded contracts, and change-order potential. Track ROI by project type (TI, ground-up, civil), contract size, and target owner/GC lists.
Measure cost per prequal form, RFQ submission, and plan/spec download – key intent signals in construction. Prioritize channels that generate leads your estimators can actually price.
Break performance down by service area, branch, union vs. open shop regions, and trade (MEP, concrete, roofing, steel). Reduce wasted spend outside your travel radius or bonding capacity.
Use pipeline velocity and win-rate trends to time campaigns when backlog is light and pause when capacity is constrained. Keep utilization high without discounting bids to fill the schedule.
Use cases
Challenge
A general contractor runs Google Search, LinkedIn, and trade publication ads across three metros. Leads look strong, but estimators complain most inquiries are small remodels or outside target verticals.
Solution
Campaign Performance Analyzer tags leads by metro and vertical, then reports CPL, CPB, and awarded revenue by segment. The GC shifts budget toward metros and keywords driving bid invitations for target project sizes and reduces spend on low-fit traffic.
Challenge
An electrical contractor gets lots of form fills, but few complete prequalification packets. Sales can’t tell whether the issue is lead quality, follow-up speed, or messaging.
Solution
The analyzer tracks stage conversion from lead – prequal started – prequal approved. It highlights campaigns with high drop-off and correlates conversion with response time, enabling tighter routing, better nurture sequences, and ad copy focused on licensing, safety record, and service coverage.
Challenge
A building materials supplier invests in architect/engineer outreach and spec-focused campaigns, but revenue attribution is unclear because purchases happen through distributors months later.
Solution
Campaign Performance Analyzer measures influence using content engagement (spec sheets, BIM objects, CSI details), captures firmographics, and links opportunities to downstream distributor sales where available. Reporting shows which spec campaigns correlate with project inclusion and repeat orders.

FAQ
It maps campaign sources to construction-specific pipeline stages such as lead, prequal, takeoff/estimate, bid submitted, shortlist, and award. By integrating with your CRM and forms (RFQ, prequal, plan download), it reports conversion rates, time-to-respond, cost per bid, and revenue influenced – so you can see which campaigns produce bid-ready opportunities and won work.
Yes. It supports multi-touch attribution and account-level reporting so you can see how different contacts and firms engage over time. For example, a campaign may start with an owner’s project manager downloading a capabilities deck and later lead to an estimator requesting pricing – both interactions can be tied back to the originating campaign.
Common construction KPIs include cost per qualified lead, cost per prequal completion, cost per bid, bid-to-win rate by source, average contract value by channel, and pipeline velocity (days from first touch to bid and award). The analyzer surfaces these metrics by trade, territory, and project vertical so marketing and estimating can agree on what “quality” means.
Yes, but the setup differs. Commercial teams often track RFQs, prequal packages, bid invitations, and vertical targeting, while residential teams may track calls, site visits, financing applications, and booked consultations. Campaign Performance Analyzer lets you define stages and qualification rules based on your business model, service area, and crew capacity.
