Understanding ROAS in Context

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) = (AOV × Conversion Rate) ÷ CPC

This metric shows how much revenue you’re earning for every ₹1 spent on advertising. For example, a ROAS of 4 means you earn ₹4 for every ₹1 spent.

Practical Example

Scenario:

Conversion Rate = 2.5%
Average CPC = ₹25
Average Order Value = ₹1,200

Calculation:

ROAS = (₹1,200 × 0.025) ÷ ₹25 = 1.2

Interpretation:

Your campaign is generating ₹1.20 for every ₹1 spent. Depending on your margins, this may require optimisation before scaling.

Benchmarks for ROAS Targets

Industry	Target ROAS (Min)
E-commerce	4.0 – 6.0
SaaS	3.0 – 5.0
Education	2.5 – 4.0
Health & Wellness	3.0 – 5.0
Finance	3.5 – 6.0

Note: Your ideal ROAS depends on margins, LTV, and conversion velocity.

Tips to Improve ROAS

Increase Conversion Rates: Optimise landing pages and checkout experience.
Lower CPC: Improve quality score and refine targeting.
Boost AOV: Introduce upsells, bundles, or limited-time offers to increase average order value.
