Was ist ROAS?
Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) measures the effectiveness of advertising campaigns by comparing generated revenue to advertising costs. The calculation: Revenue from advertising / Advertising costs = ROAS. A ROAS of 4:1 means: For every euro of ad spend, 4 euros of revenue are generated. ROAS is particularly central in e-commerce. Unlike ROI, ROAS does not consider product costs and margin. A "good" ROAS depends on margin - with 50% margin, ROAS must be at least 2:1 to break even. Google Ads offers "Target ROAS bidding" as an automated bidding strategy for e-commerce.
