Common Questions.

What's a realistic monthly growth rate for ad spend?

10-20% per month is sustainable. Aggressive scaling (30%+/month) often wrecks ROAS because the Meta algorithm can't keep pace with optimization — you end up paying more per lead. Slow and steady wins.

Should I use my actual ROAS or a target?

Target — slightly below your current ROAS to stay conservative. Scaling often pushes ROAS down 10-20% as you reach less-qualified audiences. Plan for a lower ROAS than month 1 showed so you're not disappointed.

When should I stop scaling?

When marginal ROAS drops below your profitability threshold. If month 1 is 5x and month 12 is 2.5x, you've found the ceiling — stabilize there, don't push further. Not every contractor should scale to $10K/mo; some markets cap at $3-5K.

Does this account for seasonality?

No — this assumes linear monthly growth. In reality, home service trades have seasonal peaks (roofing in hail season, HVAC in summer). Use this for overall trend; layer seasonality on top for actual campaign planning.
