ROAS
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is a key marketing metric that measures the revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. It helps businesses evaluate the effectiveness and profitability of their advertising campaigns.
What is ROAS?
ROAS, or Return on Ad Spend, quantifies how efficiently advertising investments translate into revenue, enabling organizations to compare channels, creatives, and audiences with precision. By expressing returns per dollar spent—for example, generating $5 for every $1 invested—ROAS reveals campaign profitability and informs budget allocation, bid strategies, and forecasting. B2B marketers leverage ROAS to align media performance with pipeline value, sales cycles, and customer lifetime economics, ensuring spend advances measurable outcomes. Monitoring ROAS alongside conversion rate, CAC, and LTV clarifies incremental impact, while segment-level analysis exposes opportunities to scale high-yield tactics and optimize underperforming placements across search, social, and programmatic ecosystems.
Example
If you spend $1,000 on a Facebook ad campaign and it generates $5,000 in sales, your ROAS is 5. This means for every $1 spent, you earned $5 back. To calculate: ROAS = Revenue from ads ÷ Cost of ads = $5,000 ÷ $1,000 = 5. As a marketer, use this to decide if the campaign is profitable and worth scaling.
