What is a good ROAS for Facebook Ads?

A good ROAS for Facebook Ads typically ranges from 3× to 4× for e-commerce. However, this varies by industry—lead generation often sees 3-5×, while brand awareness campaigns may not have direct ROAS. Your break-even ROAS depends on your profit margins.

Why is my Facebook ROAS lower than expected?

Common reasons include: audience fatigue (targeting the same people too long), creative fatigue (not refreshing ads), poor landing page experience, wrong campaign objective, or tracking issues with iOS 14+ privacy changes. Review your funnel from ad to purchase.

How does Facebook calculate ROAS?

Facebook Ads Manager calculates ROAS as (Purchase Conversion Value ÷ Amount Spent). This relies on proper Facebook Pixel or Conversions API setup. Note that iOS 14+ privacy changes may affect tracking accuracy.

What's the difference between ROAS and ROI for Facebook Ads?

ROAS measures revenue per dollar spent on ads (Revenue ÷ Ad Spend). ROI measures profit percentage ((Revenue - Costs) ÷ Costs × 100%). A 4× ROAS equals 300% ROI. ROAS doesn't account for product costs, while ROI does.

How can I improve my Facebook Ads ROAS?

Key strategies: 1) Use Lookalike Audiences based on high-value customers, 2) Refresh creatives every 2-3 weeks, 3) Test Advantage+ campaigns, 4) Optimize for purchase value not just conversions, 5) Improve landing page load speed and mobile experience.
