How to Read Your Results
Profit shows whether revenue exceeds monthly funnel costs.
ROAS measures revenue relative to ad spend only, not total profitability.
Profit margin helps compare funnels of different sizes on the same percentage basis.
A strong customer count does not always mean strong profit if costs are high.
Use the same monthly timeframe for traffic, costs, and sales when comparing scenarios.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- Each example uses a simple funnel with one main lead stage and one main sale stage.
- Average order value is assumed to represent the typical sale for that month.
- Costs are treated as monthly totals and do not include taxes or refunds unless stated.
- Examples are estimates for illustration and not forecasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some high-traffic examples still lose money?
Because traffic volume matters less if lead capture, sales conversion, or average order value is too low compared with costs.
What should I focus on first: conversion rate or order value?
Either can improve results, but the best lever depends on where your funnel is currently weakest.
Can I use these examples for ecommerce and service funnels?
Yes, as long as your funnel can be simplified into visitors, leads, customers, revenue, and monthly costs.
Why is ROAS less useful when ad spend is zero?
ROAS is a ratio based on ad spend, so without ad spend it does not help you compare advertising efficiency.
