Description

For Nik, it’s all about ROAS and Spend. Other metrics like CTR, CPM, CPC might be interesting, but they don’t correlate with ROAS. After all, what use is a low CPM if the traffic is garbage? Read Savannah’s explanation here. Instead, set a target ROAS range (you can check Polar’s latest benchmarks here) and then dive deeper with this custom report. In Savannah’s words: “The ads with the highest spend within my target ROAS range are the best performing ads. Period.”

Why it's important

Understanding ROAS and Spend metrics is non-negotiable for ecommerce managers. It's a concrete measure of your marketing investment's return, essentially telling you how much you earn for every dollar spent on advertising. The Spend metric complements ROAS by giving you a bird's-eye view of your overall advertising budget, making sure you're not blindly pouring money into campaigns without seeing a return.

How to improve it
  • Set a Target ROAS Range
  • Monitor Ad Performance
  • Adjust Budget Allocation
  • Optimize Ad Content
  • Set Spend Alerts
