Real account examples

Two accounts. Here’s what changed.

E-commerce

Nearly 9× the monthly ad spend. Still above their ROAS target.

The account went from $20,124 in monthly ad spend to $178,678 at a 3.08 ROAS, above the client’s target—even during their slower season.

January → August 2026
Metric	Jan	Aug
Ad spend	$20,124	$178,678
Purchase value	$68,286	$551,173
ROAS	3.39	3.08

What changed: They’d been turning ads on and off without a consistent way to test or scale. We put budgets at the ad-set level, tested five ads per ad set and managed each set by its results. Consistent testing. Fewer changes.

Meta-reported purchase value, not profit. Multiple attribution settings. Target and seasonal context supplied by the account operator.
