The Key Insight

Reported ROAS was significantly higher than actual purchase revenue

⚠️

What we found: The "All Conversions" metric included add-to-carts, checkout starts, page views, directions, and engagement events — inflating reported ROAS by 2-4x compared to actual confirmed purchases. Bid targets were calibrated against these inflated signals, causing the algorithm to optimize for the wrong outcomes.

April 1-19 pre-fix $146K $7.7K/day 190% 683% 3.6x inflated
February note: A historical conversion data import on Feb 9-13 added ~$253K in attributed revenue from batch-uploaded transactions (877 → 2,664 conversions/day vs. normal ~200/day). Excluding those 5 days, February's true ROAS was approximately 301%.
What "True ROAS" means: Only confirmed Shopify purchases (vega Sales) and verified subscription payments. No add-to-carts, no checkout starts, no page views, no engagement events.

The Scaling Opportunity

Relationship between daily spend and ROAS across 4 months

Spend Level → ROAS Pattern

Daily SpendAvg True ROASOpportunity
$4-6K/day280-380%sweet spot
$6-8K/day200-280%strong
$8-10K/day160-200%moderate
$10K+/day130-175%diminishing
Revenue doesn't drop — it plateaus. The account generates ~$15-18K/day in purchase revenue regardless of whether spend is $5K or $10K. The excess spend goes to Display, YouTube, and non-converting placements.

The Path Forward

Scaling from $7K to $14K/day requires unlocking new revenue — not just bidding higher on the same audience. Our approach:

  • ✓ Expand non-branded Search to capture new customers
  • ✓ Build competitor conquesting campaigns
  • ✓ Scale Shopping with product-specific targeting
  • ✓ Test problem-aware audiences who don't know Vegamour yet
  • ✓ Incrementally increase budgets with ROAS guardrails
