You run a Facebook Ads campaign for an online store. Here are the campaign details:

• Total Spend: $500
• Impressions: 50,000
• Clicks: 2,000
• Conversions: 100
• Revenue: $2,000

1. CTR: \[ \text{CTR} = \left( \frac{2000}{50000} \right) \times 100 = 4% \]

2. CPC: \[ \text{CPC} = \frac{500}{2000} = $0.25 \]

3. Conversion Rate: \[ \text{Conversion Rate} = \left( \frac{100}{2000} \right) \times 100 = 5% \]

4. CPA: \[ \text{CPA} = \frac{500}{100} = $5 \]

5. ROAS: \[ \text{ROAS} = \frac{2000}{500} = 4 \]

• CTR (4%): A good CTR indicates that your ad is engaging and relevant to your audience.
• CPC ($0.25): A low CPC suggests cost-efficiency in driving traffic to your website.
• Conversion Rate (5%): A healthy conversion rate shows that your landing page and offer are compelling.
