Frequently asked questions

How much should I spend on ads?

It depends on your cost per click and conversion rate. Use this calculator to input your target CPA or ROAS and see how much budget you need. As a starting point, most small businesses test with $500-1000/month per platform.

What is a good ROAS for advertising?

A ROAS of 3x or higher is generally considered good, meaning you earn $3 for every $1 spent. However, this varies by industry, product margins, and business model. Subscription businesses can accept lower initial ROAS due to lifetime value.
