Ads / DEFINED TERM
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
A marketing metric that measures the revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising.
IN DEPTH
ROAS is calculated by dividing revenue attributed to ads by the total ad spend. A ROAS of 4:1 means you earn $4 for every $1 spent. Unlike ROI, ROAS focuses specifically on ad spend and revenue, not total profit. It's the primary metric for evaluating the effectiveness of Google Ads, Meta Ads, and other paid advertising campaigns. Improving ROAS involves better targeting, ad copy optimization, bid management, and landing page improvements.
