Blended ROAS compares total revenue with total ad spend across channels.
Example one: An ecommerce store produces $120,000 in total revenue and spends $30,000 on ads across Meta, Google, TikTok, and affiliates. Blended ROAS is 4.00. This means every $1 of ad spend matched $4 of total revenue.
Example two: Revenue rises to $150,000, but ad spend rises to $50,000. Blended ROAS falls to 3.00. The store grew, but paid efficiency weakened.
Blended ROAS is useful because platform-reported ROAS can double count or miss cross-channel effects.
Use the Blended ROAS Calculator at /tools/blended-roas-calculator, then compare with ROAS at /tools/roas-calculator and MER at /tools/mer-calculator.
