How to Calculate and Improve
Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) for Your Brand

If you’re investing in digital ads, one question should always be top of mind:
“Am I getting my money’s worth?”
That’s where ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) comes in. It helps you measure whether your ad budget is delivering real value.
What is ROAS?
ROAS stands for Return on Ad Spend — a metric that shows how much revenue you earn for every rupee spent on advertising.
ROAS Formula:
ROAS = Revenue from Ads / Cost of Ads
Example:
- You spend ₹10,000 on Google Ads
- You earn ₹40,000 in revenue
- Your ROAS = ₹40,000 / ₹10,000 = 4
So, for every ₹1 spent, you earned ₹4.
What is a Good ROAS?
While it varies by industry and business model, here’s a general guideline:
- ROAS below 1 – You’re losing money
- ROAS of 2–3 – Acceptable performance
- ROAS of 4+ – Strong return
How to Improve Your ROAS: Actionable Tips
Want better returns on your ad spend? Here’s how to improve ROAS with practical strategies:
1. Target the Right Audience
Stop wasting your budget on users who won’t convert.
- Use custom audiences (based on past behavior)
- Leverage lookalike audiences on Facebook/Instagram
- Run retargeting campaigns to re-engage visitors
2. Improve Your Ad Creatives
Your ad should stop the scroll and grab attention instantly.
- Use bold visuals and clear calls to action
- Test multiple headlines
- Keep your messaging simple, relevant, and value-driven
3. Optimize Your Landing Page
Clicks don’t guarantee conversions. Your landing page plays a key role.
- Ensure fast loading speed and mobile-friendliness
- Add social proof (testimonials, ratings)
- Use clear CTAs and reduce form friction
4. Focus on High-Converting Channels
Not all platforms perform equally. Identify what works.
- Use analytics to find top-performing platforms
- Shift more budget to high-ROAS channels
- Pause or adjust underperforming campaigns
5. Test and Tweak Regularly
Avoid a “set it and forget it” mindset.
- Run A/B tests on ads and landing pages
- Track CTR, CPC, and conversion rates
- Use Google Analytics, Meta Ads Manager, and UTM links for accurate tracking
