ROAS (return on ad spend)

Revenue attributed to the ads ÷ what the ads cost.

A ROAS of 3 means three dollars of attributed revenue for every dollar spent. Whether that is profitable depends on your margin – the break-even ROAS is 1 ÷ gross margin.

Attribution windows differ by platform, so compare ROAS within one platform and one setting.
