What is a good ROAS for TikTok Ads?

For TikTok, a ROAS of 2-3× is considered average, while 4×+ is excellent. TikTok ROAS tends to be lower than Facebook/Meta because the platform is newer and conversion tracking is still maturing. Focus on creative quality over pure ROAS.

Why is my TikTok ROAS lower than Facebook?

This is common. TikTok has: 1) Younger audience who may browse more before buying, 2) Less mature conversion tracking, 3) Different user intent (entertainment vs. shopping). However, TikTok CPM is often lower, so cost-per-acquisition can still be competitive.

How long should I test TikTok ads before judging ROAS?

Give TikTok at least 7 days and $200-500 per ad group before judging. The algorithm needs time to learn. Also test multiple creatives—TikTok is extremely creative-dependent.

What type of content works best for TikTok ROAS?

Native, authentic content outperforms polished ads. UGC-style videos, creator partnerships, and Spark Ads typically have the best ROAS. Avoid reusing Facebook creative directly—TikTok is a different platform with different expectations.

Should I use TikTok Shop or my own website?

TikTok Shop often has better conversion rates because users don't leave the app. If available in your region, test it. The ROAS for TikTok Shop campaigns is typically higher than traffic campaigns to external websites.

TikTok ROAS Formula

TikTok ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad Spend

If you spent $500 on TikTok ads and generated $1,500 in revenue, your ROAS is 3× (or 300%)

ROAS Percentage = (Revenue ÷ Ad Spend) × 100%

How to Improve Your TikTok Ads ROAS

Go Native, Not Polished

TikTok users hate ads that feel like ads. Use native-style, authentic content. UGC and creator-style videos typically outperform polished brand content.

Use Spark Ads

Spark Ads let you promote existing organic content. They often have higher ROAS than traditional In-Feed ads because they feel more authentic.

Give the Algorithm Budget

TikTok's algorithm learns fast but needs data. Recommend at least $50/day per ad group during testing phase to exit learning quickly.

Match Your Audience

TikTok skews younger (16-34). Make sure your product, pricing, and style match this demographic. High-ticket items may struggle.

Hook in First 3 Seconds

Users scroll fast. Your hook must grab attention immediately. Test multiple hooks for the same product.
