How to evaluate the impact of GEO on Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)?

Evaluating the impact of GEO on Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) typically involves combining key metrics from the customer acquisition, retention, and conversion stages, achieved through data comparison and attribution analysis. This can be specifically展开 as follows: 1. **Phased indicator tracking**: In the acquisition stage, focus on the cost of acquiring new customers (CAC) and conversion rate brought by GEO; in the retention stage, analyze the repurchase rate and average purchase frequency per customer; in the conversion stage, evaluate the average customer price and the proportion of upgrade purchases. These data together form the core elements of CLV. 2. **Application of attribution models**: Adopt multi-touch attribution (such as linear attribution or time-decay attribution) to distinguish the contribution ratio of GEO in customers' first contact, decision-making, and repurchase, avoiding misjudgment of value based on a single touchpoint. 3. **Control group comparison**: Through A/B testing or historical data comparison, analyze the changes in CLV before and after GEO optimization, with particular attention to the increase in the proportion of high-value customer groups. It is recommended to start with basic data collection, prioritize tracking easily accessible indicators such as CAC and repurchase rate, and gradually establish a correlation model between CLV and GEO strategies.
