Who it's for

Marketers and founders who want a reference point before deciding whether a campaign is underperforming.

Three takeaways

Benchmarks are a diagnostic, not a target

Market, margin and landing pages move every number. Use benchmarks to find where to look first, not to grade the account.

Judge ROAS against your margin

A modest ROAS on a high-margin product can be more profitable than a high ROAS on a thin one. Work out your break-even ROAS before comparing.

Fix the cause, not the metric

Low click-through usually points to ads or targeting, low conversion rate to the landing page or offer. The report maps each shortfall to its most likely cause.
