Pick a starting point. Industry medians fill in the rest. Override any number you already know.
A $10,000 monthly budget in US Ecommerce returns $24k to $42k revenue at 2.4x to 4.2x ROAS.
Three inputs, one realistic plan.
Pick a goal. Budget mode answers "what can I expect from $10k?" Revenue mode answers "what do I need to spend to hit $30k?"
Pick a context. Industry and region. The planner pulls CPC, CTR, CVR, and AOV medians for your combination. US Ecommerce reads differently from MENA Ecommerce, even at the same budget.
Override what you know. If your real AOV is $120, type it. If your real CVR is 4.5 percent, type it. Anything you leave blank uses the industry median. The "What we assumed" panel shows exactly which numbers came from medians and which from you.
Stop planning in spreadsheets. Plan in plain English.
Connect your Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok to PaidSync. Ask Claude or ChatGPT to plan next month's budget against last quarter's actuals. Live data, real numbers, one prompt.
Paid media planning, answered.
How much should I spend on paid media monthly?
Depends on your industry and goal. For US Ecommerce at typical unit economics ($120 AOV, 40% margin, 2.5% CVR), a $10,000 monthly budget returns $46k revenue at 4.6x ROAS. For SaaS, B2B, or local services the math shifts substantially. Use the planner above with your industry and region selected to see the realistic forecast.
How do I forecast Google Ads results?
Three inputs forecast paid media results: CPC range for your industry and region, conversion rate for your conversion type, and AOV. Multiply clicks (budget divided by CPC) by CVR by AOV to get revenue. The planner above does this automatically and adds margin to compute net profit.
What is a realistic ROAS to expect from paid media?
Realistic ROAS depends on industry, margin, and channel mix. Ecommerce brands typically target 3x to 5x ROAS. SaaS uses LTV-to-CAC ratios instead. The planner returns a typical-case ROAS forecast based on industry medians plus a range showing the worst-to-best scenario spread.
What budget do I need to hit a revenue goal?
To hit $50,000 in monthly revenue in US Ecommerce at typical unit economics, expect to spend around $11,000 per month on paid media. The planner above supports revenue-goal mode: enter your target and it calculates the required budget.
Why does my paid media campaign lose money even at good ROAS?
ROAS measures revenue not profit. A campaign at 4x ROAS with 25% margin nets zero profit because the entire margin covers ad spend. Net profit equals revenue times margin minus ad spend. The planner shows net profit explicitly, color-coded green when positive, red when below break-even, and surfaces the levers to flip it green.
How do I split a paid media budget across channels?
Industry-typical channel splits vary. For ecommerce, the planner suggests Meta Feed 45 percent, Google Search 35 percent, Meta Reels 15 percent, Display retargeting 5 percent. For SaaS the split tilts toward LinkedIn and Google Search. The planner outputs a suggested allocation based on the selected industry.
