ROAS: Formula, Examples, and the Shopify Context It Misses
ROAS is advertising return divided by ad spend. The formula is simple; the difficult part is deciding what counts as return and what decision the number should support.

ROAS is usually narrower and attribution-based. MER is usually broader and business-level. They are complementary when their scopes are explicit.

Ad Fatigue: How to Detect Creative Deterioration Without Guessing
