How These Metrics Relate

Efficiency metrics are ratios that connect spend to outcomes:
  • CPA = Total Spend ÷ Purchases (cost to acquire a customer)
  • ROAS = Purchase Value ÷ Total Spend (revenue per dollar spent)
  • NC CPA = Spend ÷ New Customer Purchases (cost for new customers)
  • NC ROAS = NC Purchase Value ÷ Spend (new customer revenue return)
ROAS and CPA are inversely related—high ROAS typically means low CPA.

Choosing the Right Metric

  • E-commerce profitability: Focus on ROAS (target typically 3x–5x)
  • Customer acquisition: Track CPA and NC CPA
  • New customer growth: Monitor NC ROAS to ensure acquisition is profitable
  • Full funnel view: Use All Conversions ROAS for complete attribution
