B2B Content Goal Benchmarks for 2025

The 2025 B2B Content Marketing Benchmarks study reports outcomes, not universal conversion rates. In the study, 87% of respondents said content helped create brand awareness, 74% said it helped generate demand or leads, 62% said it nurtured subscribers, audiences, or leads, and 49% said it helped generate sales or revenue. The survey covered 980 B2B respondents and was fielded June 25 to August 16, 2024.

Benchmark table

These are respondent-reported outcomes, not causal proof. A team should define its denominator, attribution window, and quality threshold before comparing its own result with this study.

Practical use

Create one row per published article with the target intent, assisted conversion, review date, and source list. A daily publishing routine becomes useful when every page has a measurable next step, rather than when the team simply counts URLs.

FAQs

Does 74% mean content converts 74% of leads?

No. It means 74% of surveyed marketers reported demand or lead generation as an outcome. It is not a conversion rate.

What should a small team track first?

Track qualified visits, assisted leads, and the article's intended action. Add revenue attribution only after the definitions remain stable for several periods.
