You can find the SaaS Metrics dashboard by going to Partner Center > Metrics. The SaaS Metrics dashboard displays the metrics that matter most for your business. Each day, you can use these metrics to track engagement across your sales team and clients, identify popular products and services, monitor revenue growth, and more. Each top-level metric card also leads to a more detailed breakdown of the data that informs it.

Average Revenue per Paying Account (ARPPA)
What is it?
The estimated monthly revenue brought in per paying account.
How to use it
ARPPA is valuable for comparing groups or cohorts of accounts per month. Use this metric to understand how much each account contributes on average to your total revenue. This metric can also be used to spot trends in account expansion or contraction, evaluate your pricing plans, and understand how your revenue is evolving over time.
How to move this metric
ARPPA = (Product Retail Price * # of Products Sold) / # Of Accounts With A Paid Product
Increasing your clients’ basket size can help drive their revenue as well. In addition, selling your clients higher-priced products, like an SEO solution, can influence this metric.
Note: The revenue reflected in this chart is derived from the set Retail Price of your Marketplace products. By default, the Retail Price is set by the vendor (MSRP). If you are selling a product at a different price, make sure to manually set your Retail Price so that this chart will display more accurate data.

Average Basket Size
What is it?
This metric indicates the average number of paid products active on accounts with at least one paying account.
How to use it
The higher the basket size, the more solutions your customers are purchasing. A high basket size indicates that you are generating revenue expansion from your existing clients through add-ons, upsells, or cross-sells.
Note that this metric only tracks active paid products. An account with one paid product and three free products will have a basket size of 1.
We recommend aiming for an average basket size of around 4 products per paying account. Our recent research shows that selling an SMB 1 product has a retention rate of only 30% after 2 years. Selling that SMB just 1 more product showed an increased retention rate of nearly 20% while selling an SMB 4 products shows a retention rate of 80%.
How to move this metric
Average Basket Size = # of Paid Products / # of Paying Accounts
Sell your clients complementary products in a package to help increase their basket size. Products like G Suite, Website Pro, and GoDaddy would be great suites to offer your clients.

Account Retention Rate
What is it?
This indicates how many accounts have retained their paid products.
How to use it
A high value for this metric indicates that your customers are satisfied and are finding value in your products. This metric is one of the most important indicators of customer satisfaction.
A retention rate of 100% indicates that all of your accounts have kept at least 1 paid product. When an account cancels or does not renew its paid products, the rate will drop, even if that customer is replaced by a new one. As such, this metric indicates retention, not expansion.
Note that this metric only tracks paying accounts. If an account has canceled its paid products but still has active free products, it will still be recorded as having churned.
How to move this metric
Account Retention Rate = For each month: % of Existing Accounts Keeping 1 or More Paid Recurring Products (New Accounts this Month Excluded)
From our recent research, we have identified a few actions that can help retain your clients—encouraging engagement, getting them to authenticate GMB, and sending proof of performance reports, to name a few.
