Meta Ads Marketing: Measure Spend, ROAS and Profit After Ads
2 min read
The marketing module brings your Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads performance into the platform and measures it against the revenue your orders actually produced. Go beyond ROAS to blended ROAS, customer acquisition cost and profit after ad spend.
The metrics that matter
Track spend, impressions, reach, clicks, CTR, CPC, CPM, purchases and ROAS per campaign and per day.
- ROAS — purchase value divided by spend, straight from your ad insights.
- Blended ROAS — total revenue (all channels) divided by ad spend.
- Profit after ads — gross profit minus ad spend, so you see what you actually keep.
Blended view across channels
Because the platform already knows your real revenue and COGS, it can blend ad spend against total sales — a truer picture than the ad platform’s in-app ROAS alone.
Budget pacing
Daily and lifetime budgets are tracked against actual spend so you can spot over- or under-pacing campaigns and reallocate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ROAS and blended ROAS?
ROAS is the ad platform’s attributed return; blended ROAS divides your total revenue by ad spend for a whole-business view.
Does it account for product cost?
Yes — profit after ads uses COGS-aware gross profit, then subtracts spend.
Can I see day-by-day trends?
Yes, spend and ROAS are charted over time.
Troubleshooting
No campaign data.
Re-authorise the Meta connection and confirm the date range covers active campaigns.
ROAS looks off.
Ad-platform attribution differs from blended ROAS by design; compare like for like.
