⭐ What Is ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)?
ROAS tells you how much revenue you make for every dollar you spend on advertising.
ROAS = (Total Revenue / Total Ad Spend) x 100
---
🔢 The Formula
ROAS = Revenue / Ad Spend
If you spend $1 and make $5, your ROAS is 5:1
(also written as 500%).
🧠 Why It Matters to Your Business
ROAS helps you answer the only question that truly matters in advertising:
“When I put a dollar in, how many dollars come back out?”
A good ROAS means:
You’re scaling profitably
Your ads attract high-quality leads
Your campaigns are optimized correctly
Your business can grow safely without wasting money
A poor ROAS means:
You are paying too much per lead
Your keywords or targeting are off
Your landing page is hurting conversions
A competitor is outbidding or outranking you
📌 Industry ROAS Benchmarks (Simple Examples)
These are NOT exact numbers — just easy ways for owners to think about ROAS logic:
Roofing:
Put in $1 → Expect back $10–$15+
HVAC:
Put in $1 → Expect back $8–$12
Plumbers:
Put in $1 → Expect back $6–$10
Veterinary / Animal Hospitals:
Put in $1 → Expect back $4–$8
Restaurants:
Put in $1 → Expect back $3–$5
Again: these numbers vary by region, competition, season, and service type.

🏆 The Goal
A business should ALWAYS know:
For every $1 we put into Google Ads, we get $X back.
Once you know that number:
You know how aggressively you can scale
You know whether your campaigns are healthy
You know whether your agency is delivering real value
