Hitting a ROAS ceiling is common. Break through with the right diagnosis and strategy.
Growth limited to inflationary budget increases; 10-30% efficiency gains typically possible
ROAS, Profitability, Scale Capacity, Market Share Growth
ROAS plateaus cap growth potential and erode profitability over time as costs rise. Breaking through plateaus unlocks significant scaling opportunity.
Understanding the root causes is the first step to solving the problem.
You've reached most of your ideal audience. Scaling means reaching less ideal prospects.
Competitors improved, raising auction prices. Your absolute performance stayed same but relative declined.
Low-hanging fruit already picked. Remaining optimizations are incremental, not transformative.
Same campaign structure, targeting, and creative for too long. Diminishing returns without innovation.
Well-intentioned fixes that often make things worse.
If bid adjustments and keyword negatives haven't moved ROAS in months, doing more of the same won't help.
Competition and seasonality are real, but often plateau causes are internal. Look inward before blaming outward.
ROAS ceilings can be broken with strategic changes. Plateaus indicate need for evolution, not surrender.
Purpose-built features to detect, diagnose, and fix roas plateau.
Identify the root cause of your plateau: saturation, competition, or strategy issues.
Find overlooked audiences, keywords, and campaign types that could break through.
Suggest structural changes beyond incremental optimization: new campaign types, audience expansion.
Compare your efficiency to benchmarks to understand if plateau is account-specific or market-wide.
Best practices to prevent this problem from occurring or recurring.
Yes, temporary plateaus are normal as you pick low-hanging fruit and saturate core audiences. But extended plateaus (3+ months) indicate you need strategic changes, not just incremental optimization. PerfoAds helps distinguish between healthy consolidation and problematic stagnation.
