How it works
- ROAS (return on ad spend) is calculated as "ad-driven revenue ÷ ad spend × 100" and shows how much revenue your advertising generated relative to what you spent.
- A ROAS of 100% means revenue equal to your ad spend, while 300% means three times your ad spend in revenue. The higher the number, the more efficient the advertising.
- The key difference is that ROI is a ratio against profit (revenue minus cost of goods and other expenses), whereas ROAS is a ratio against revenue. For low-margin products, a high ROAS can still result in a loss.
- Your target ROAS depends on your product's margin and cost. It is best to identify the break-even ROAS that accounts for your margin before setting a target.
- Entering only ad-driven revenue measures the effect of advertising alone. To evaluate multiple channels together, align the scope of revenue and ad spend you enter.
