ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

Revenue generated for every unit of ad spend, a gross efficiency measure.

In Depth

Return on ad spend, or ROAS, is the revenue produced divided by the ad spend that produced it. A ROAS of 4 means four units of revenue for every one spent on ads.

ROAS measures gross media efficiency, not true profit, because it ignores the full cost of marketing. For a financial brand it is most useful tied to real revenue events like deposits, and read alongside CAC and lifetime value rather than on its own.
