What is ROAS?
ROAS or Return on Ad spend is revenue based marketing metric for Online Advertisers, which measures the efficiency of a digital advertising campaign. ROAS helps an online business determine what are the methods are working and how you can improve in future advertising efforts. In Simple words, it answers the fundamental question, which marketing channel is performing at what level to get into profitability because Marketing is all about Investing in the right platform and getting desired the output.
How to do the ROAS Calculation?
The Formula to Calculate ROAS is Very Simple, It is as follows
Revenue/Cost = ROAS For Example: If I spend $20,000 on paid search in the month of August and Generated $60,000 as revenue, then my ROAS is $3. ROAS=$60,000/$20000=$3.
Why does ROAS Matters?
ROAS matters significantly as it evaluates the performance of ad Campaign and how they contribute to an Online store’s overall earning (Bottom line), Observation and finding of ROAS across all campaign help in future budgets, Marketing plan and formulation of strategy. By the Findings and observation of ROAS on regular basis, E-commerce companies make the decision where to invest their Ad Budget and how to make it efficient day by day.
What is a good ROAS for your Google Ad Campaigns?
Good ROAS is influenced by Operating expenses, Profit Margin and the overall performance of the business, there is no definite answer for Good ROAS. Few Businesses are considered outstanding for maintaining $4:1, Others would require $10:1 to maintain profitability. Having a high margin indicates that the business can survive a low ROAS, whereas Having low margin indicates that the business should maintain low advertising cost.
Difference between ROAS and ROI
Return on Investment (ROI) measures the profit generated by ads relative to the cost of those ads. In comparison, Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) measures gross revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. It is an advertiser-centric metric that benchmarks the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns. Marked as spam

ROAS = Return On Ad Spend = Revenue / Ad SpendWith this KPI, you are measuring if your paid acquisition campaigns are yeilding a positive return, ie: bringing back more revenue than you've spent. ROAS is expressed a ratio (2:1) or percentage (200%).
Wording: ROAS, DROAS, ROI, eROAS, LTV:CAC... ROAS is the equivalent of a metric investors are keeping a very close look on: "LTV:CAC ratio" (hint: they're going to look for 3+). Evolution of UA KPIs: from CPM to ROAS For a long time, app marketers have taken the simplistic route and were measuring the efficiency by looking at their CPI. CPI was already a step forward measuring campaigns based on high funnel metrics like Reach, CPM or cpc, but isn't a complete representation of performance, as it says nothing about the revenue generated by those installs. As the industry matured, UA metrics moved down the funnel to CPA (cost per action, based on events count) and eventually ROAS & ROI become the primary KPI of User Acquisition (UA). For many, ROAS is the ultimate measurement of app marketing campaigns. Advanced advertisers often contrast this pure profitability figure with additional measurement of traffic quality, including long term retention or virality, among other positive side-effects of UA campaigns. The importance of granularity "ROAS" can be used to describe the overall performance of UA, and gives a good top-level understanding of profitability. Yet, app business should aim at being able to observe it with the maximum level of granularity, including network (channel), campaign, adgroups/targeting (including geo & OS) and ads/creatives, to be able to act on the detailed levers of their ad spend efficiently. Timeframe & payback period There is no standard for the timeframe in which ROAS is measured, most of the time ROAS will be defined by the lifetime value (LTV) of these cohorts. Due to the need for immediate feedback about campaign performance, most are using projected values of LTV, or pLTV, to estimate ROAS. Some marketers use a shorter timeframe, like first week ROAS or first month ROAS (m0-ROAS) to work on exact data instead. LTV-ROAS does not provide information about how fast money is recouped, and understanding the velocity at which LTV compounds to the business is critical in determining the payback period of adspend, to anticipate cash flow trends. A perfect profitable app business could actually shut down if payback is not factored properly:
Defining Ad Spend Defining revenue Calculating pLTV At the end of the day, without consensus on the terms and their calculation, the vocabulary you pick and definition you attach to the two sides of the equation may be specific to your business, but they should be consistent across channels and over time to enable comparisons and eventually surface if your UA activity are making sense from a profitability point of view.

Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) is a revenue-based KPI which measures the performance of User Acquisition (UA). In simple words, it will show how much we get out of a campaign when we spend on UA. It’s very important to have accurate attribution data for calculating ROAS.
Importance of ROAS
Calculation of ROAS ROAS can be expressed as a Ratio or as a Percentage. Following are some ways to calculate it:
Direct ROAS If you want to calculate Direct Return from only Inorganic cohorts then: DROAS = (Net IAP Revenue from the Inorganic cohort + Ad Revenue from the Inorganic cohort) / (UA Spend on the Inorganic cohort)
Effective or Overall ROAS This gives an overall picture. It includes the Organic return too since the volume of Organics improves due to UA volume. eROAS = (Net IAP Revenue from both Inorganic & Organic cohorts + Ad Revenue from both Inorganic & Organic cohorts) / (UA Spend on the Inorganic cohorts) Here’s a simple example: What is the ideal ROAS goal for an app? There are no hard and fast rules. It is completely dependent upon the following:
Time Period Based on the Retention, LTV and Payback Period of the App, ROAS values could be D3, D7, D15, D30, D60, D90, D180 and more… For e.g. If you are targeting D180 ROAS, then you will consider D180 ROAS values of cohorts which are older than 180 days and projected D180 ROAS values for the cohorts which are yet to mature.
ROAS across multiple Apps Some App publishers calculate ROAS across their different Apps to factor in the networking impact due to Cross-Promotion.
ROAS as ROI Some App publishers deduct all the expenses to arrive at the final ROAS value which is similar to calculating Return On Investment (ROI). While ROAS is for different campaigns, ROI is for the overall UA Spend.
