A 3:1 return on ad spend (spending $1 to make $3) is the minimum viable. 4:1 or higher is healthy. 10:1+ is excellent for high-margin products. Below 2:1 usually means you're losing money after product costs.
True ROI = (Revenue - Ad Spend - Cost of Goods) / Cost of Goods × 100%. Don't just measure revenue — factor in all costs. A 5:1 ROAS might only be 0.5:1 true ROI if your margins are thin.
Google Ads for high-intent search traffic. Facebook/Instagram for awareness and retargeting. Start with one platform, master it, then expand. Each platform has a learning curve and requires separate budget.
