In this episode, Yousaf Yunes dives into one of the most overused — and misunderstood — metrics in paid media: ROAS. Sparked by a conversation with an agency operator struggling to land work in a world where “campaign building” is increasingly automated, Yousaf makes a clear distinction: building campaigns is easy — scaling revenue is hard. And that’s where PPC professionals must evolve.

He explains how obsessing over ROAS, cost-per-click, and keyword tweaks keeps operators stuck in tactical execution instead of strategic growth. ROAS can be manipulated, misconfigured, inflated with branded search, or distorted by multi-touch attribution. It often excludes top-of-funnel investment and ignores critical variables like margins, LTV, contribution profit, and customer acquisition quality.

The core message: ROAS is a directional metric — not a profitability metric. Real leverage comes from understanding product margins, pricing strategy, LTV modeling, top-of-funnel demand creation, and multi-channel revenue architecture. PPC experts who move beyond surface-level reporting and start thinking like revenue strategists will become indispensable in the AI era.
