How you calculate employee advocacy ROI: earned media and time savings
Start with employees on Heyoo, multiplied by posts per employee per month. That is total monthly posts. Each post reaches a fraction of the author's network at a 0.85x impression-to-connection ratio, so monthly impressions equals posts times average connections times 0.85. Apply a click rate of 3 clicks per 1,000 impressions to get monthly clicks.
Earned media value is what those impressions and clicks would cost on LinkedIn ads at your CPM and CPC: impressions per 1,000 multiplied by CPM, plus clicks multiplied by CPC. The second lever is time: total posts multiplied by minutes to write one manually, multiplied by a loaded hourly rate.
AI search visibility adds to your ROI.
Generative answer engines now treat LinkedIn as a primary source for professional queries. The earned media of a programme now includes whether your people are the ones being cited by AI search, not just impression-equivalent value.
