Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good marketing ROI?

A ratio of 5:1 (or 400% ROI) is typically considered strong for most businesses, meaning $5 revenue for every $1 spent. 2:1 (100% ROI) is break-even after accounting for margins. 10:1 is exceptional and worth aggressive scaling.

What's the difference between ROI and ROAS?

ROI (Return on Investment) measures profit: ((Revenue - Cost) ÷ Cost) × 100. ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) measures revenue ratio: Revenue ÷ Ad Spend. A 400% ROI equals 5:1 ROAS. ROAS is commonly used for quick ad platform comparisons.

What costs should I include in the calculation?

Include ALL campaign costs: Ad platform spend, creative production (design, video), copywriting, landing page development, agency fees, tools/software subscriptions, and team time (hourly rate × hours spent). Missing costs inflate ROI artificially.

How do I track revenue from a specific campaign?

Use: 1) UTM parameters to track traffic source in Google Analytics. 2) Facebook/Google conversion pixels. 3) Unique promo codes per campaign. 4) Dedicated landing pages. 5) CRM source attribution. 6) Post-purchase surveys asking 'How did you hear about us?'

Why is my ROI negative?

Negative ROI means campaign cost exceeded revenue. Possible causes: Wrong audience targeting, poor ad creative, low conversion rate landing page, product-market fit issues, or insufficient budget/time. Analyze each funnel stage to identify the weak point.

Should I stop campaigns with low ROI immediately?

Not always! Consider: 1) Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) - initial purchase may lead to repeat sales. 2) Brand awareness value. 3) Learning phase data. 4) Optimization potential. Low-ROI campaigns may become profitable with creative/targeting improvements.
