Where paid growth may be weakening contribution profit
Platform dashboards show reported ROAS. This briefing reviews your spend, orders, discounts and margin assumptions to highlight where paid growth may warrant a closer look.
Indicative only. Not a verified attribution model or media-buying advice.
Spend efficiency, channel concentration, margin alignment, discount pressure and tracking confidence
The briefing reads your answers about paid channels, spend, measurement setup and promoted products, then highlights where reported efficiency may overstate what's reaching the bank account.
A few approximate figures and assumptions
- Paid channel spend (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.)
- Approximate revenue and marketing spend for the same review period
- Channel mix and current efficiency target
- Tracking setup and attribution window
- Promoted products and discount-code posture
Numeric revenue and spend are optional but strongly encouraged — without matching figures, the briefing will say so rather than invent a range.
Indicative signals across five pillars
An indicative MER range when revenue and spend figures are supplied — or a clear "not calculated" note when they're not.
Where dependence on a single channel may create fragility if the algorithm shifts.
Whether the products receiving the most spend are likely high or low margin.
How much of the paid activity is discount-led, and what that means for true contribution.
Pixel, server-side, GA4, UTM and survey coverage — and how that affects trust in the other signals.
Findings are indicative and based on the information you provide. Not an attribution model and not media-buying advice.
