Stop Burning Cash: How to Use the Efficiency Engine
What is the Efficiency Engine?
The Efficiency Engine is a calculator designed to expose the hidden 'Subscription Tax' you pay with traditional SEO tools. It compares your current fixed monthly spend against a lean, pay-as-you-go model.
How to Use It
- Input Current Spend: Enter the total monthly cost of your subscriptions (e.g., Ahrefs + Semrush + Moz).
- Input Tasks/Month: Estimate how many keyword lookups or rank checks you verify perform. Be honest—most users use less than 20% of their quota.
- See the Math: The engine instantly calculates your 'Cost Per Task' and shows you the potential savings. For many agencies, this number is over $900/month.
Use Case: Budget Approval
If you are a marketing manager trying to cut costs, use this tool to generate a savings report. Showing your CFO a potential $10k annual saving is the easiest way to get budget approved for other initiatives.
