Margin over volume

Increase Your ROAS

Return on ad spend rises two ways: spending less for the same revenue, or earning more from the same spend. Most accounts only attempt the first, and it is the smaller of the two.

The method

What actually moves return

Four levers, listed by how much they typically move the number.

  1. 01Passing real valueIf every conversion reports the same value, bidding optimises toward whatever is cheapest to acquire — which is rarely what is most profitable.
  2. 02Margin, not revenueA product with high revenue and thin margin can lose money at a healthy ROAS. Bidding should follow contribution, not turnover.
  3. 03Customer lifetimeWhere customers repeat, judging on the first order undervalues acquisition and caps what you can afford to bid.
  4. 04Conversion rateA better page raises return without touching the auction at all — and it is usually the fastest lever available.

What we do

How we raise it

01

Dynamic value

Real order value passed with every conversion.

02

Margin weighting

Campaigns split so budget follows contribution, not revenue.

03

Lifetime measurement

Repeat orders tied to the customer, where the model supports it.

04

Product-level bidding

For stores, bid by margin band rather than by catalogue.

05

Negative discipline

Waste removed weekly, which raises return without new spend.

06

Landing page work

Conversion rate as a return lever, not a separate project.

07

Audience layering

Existing customers and high-value segments bid differently.

08

Honest reporting

Blended return alongside platform-reported, because they differ.

The difference

Cutting cost, or raising value?

Both raise the ratio. Only one of them grows the business.

Common

Cost reduction only

  • Bids cut until cost falls — and volume falls with it.
  • The cheapest keywords favoured, regardless of what they bring.
  • One flat conversion value, so the account cannot tell a good order from a poor one.
  • A rising ratio on a shrinking business, reported as success.
What we do

Value first, then cost

  • Real value passed, so bidding follows margin automatically.
  • Expensive keywords kept where their orders justify them.
  • Lifetime value counted where customers repeat, raising what you can afford.
  • Return measured alongside absolute profit, so shrinking is not mistaken for winning.

A ROAS that rises while revenue falls is a well-reported retreat. We report both, because one of them is the business.

Questions

What gets asked about ROAS

What is a good ROAS?

It depends entirely on your margin. A 3× return is excellent at sixty per cent margin and loss-making at twenty. We ask for your margin before discussing the target.

Why does my platform ROAS differ from my accounts?

Attribution. Platforms claim conversions they assisted. We report both figures and explain the gap rather than quoting the flattering one.

How fast can it improve?

Value passing and negatives show within weeks. Structural changes to margin-based bidding take a full cycle to prove out.

What ROAS should I target?

Whatever covers your margin and your fixed costs, which we ask for before discussing a number. A 3× return is excellent at sixty per cent margin and loss-making at twenty.

Why does my platform ROAS differ from my accounts?

Attribution. Platforms claim conversions they merely assisted. We report the platform figure alongside blended return and explain the gap rather than quoting whichever flatters.

Can ROAS rise while profit falls?

Yes, and it is common — usually by cutting spend on everything except your cheapest converting product. We report absolute profit alongside the ratio for exactly that reason.
