OurKnots on Meta: from 0.72x to 5.13x ROAS

OurKnots sells fabric laces, borders and trims through its Shopify store, which took its first order in November 2024. In February 2025 its Meta Ads spent ₹32.7K to bring back ₹23.4K. My team and I rebuilt the account month by month, and in September 2026 the store did ₹3.84 lakh from 152 orders, with Meta reporting a 5.13x ROAS.

Sales come from Shopify, ad numbers from Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads, and the campaigns are still running. Hover the chart to follow the journey month by month.

The real struggle

A year of thin, unstable returns

This did not start as a success story. For most of 2025 the account spent money without a clear engine behind it.

Catalogue, engagement and messenger campaigns brought reach and chats but very few purchases. Sale pushes for Holi, summer and June worked for a month and faded the next. Even when spend rose to ₹60K a month in September 2025, every rupee returned only about ₹1.80.

  • Feb 2025: ₹32.7K spent for 12 purchases, a 0.72x ROAS
  • Feb 2025: a ₹32K budget split across eight campaigns at once
  • Jun 2025 hit 3.02x, then July fell back to 1.57x
  • Jan 2026: a post festive dip to 1.75x

Meta, Google and the store

Why we judge on Shopify, not the ad platforms

Add up what Meta and Google each report for September 2026 and you get more than the store actually sold. That is normal: a shopper who clicked a Meta ad and a Google ad before buying is counted by both.

So the account is judged on Shopify: everything the store sold, divided by everything spent on ads. In September 2026 that blended number was 4.82x.

  • Meta and Google numbers overlap
  • Shopify is the single source of truth
  • Budget moves on blended ROAS, not platform ROAS

The method

How we lift ROAS in the first 60 days

The same playbook we would run on a new account. The aim of the first 60 days is not a spike, it is a stable, scalable ROAS floor to push budget into.

  1. Step 01

    Audit and clean base

    A full account, pixel, Conversions API and event quality audit. Tracking gaps are fixed first, redundant campaigns are cut, and a daily Shopify versus Meta tracker is set up.

    • Pixel and CAPI audit
    • Campaigns consolidated
    • Daily revenue tracker
  2. Step 02

    Establish the ROAS floor

    A lean prospecting and retargeting structure with three to five tested creative angles, left to exit the learning phase cleanly.

    • Lean structure
    • 3 to 5 creative angles
    • Winning offer found
  3. Step 03

    Compound the winners

    Double down on winning creative and audiences, retire tired ads before costs drift up, and add bundles or threshold offers to raise revenue per order.

    • Winners scaled
    • Fatigue caught early
    • AOV levers added
  4. Step 04

    Scale without breaking

    Budget rises in controlled steps on proven campaigns, watching frequency and marginal ROAS, with an always on creative pipeline behind it.

    • Controlled budget steps
    • Marginal ROAS watched
    • Documented structure
What moved the needle

What made the difference in September 2026

The record month, campaign by campaign.

    The core sale campaign drove 44 purchases worth ₹1.32 lakh from ₹24K of spend.

  • Awareness for ₹3K

    The video awareness campaign reached 1.08 million people for about ₹3K, keeping retargeting full and prospecting cheap.

Common questions

OurKnots on Meta Ads, answered

What ROAS does OurKnots get from Meta Ads?

Meta reported a 5.13x ROAS in September 2026, up from 0.72x in February 2025.

How much does the OurKnots store sell in a month?

₹3.84 lakh of store sales from 152 orders in September 2026, its record month. The store has crossed ₹1 lakh of sales every month since January 2026.

Why is blended ROAS different from Meta ROAS?

Meta and Google both take credit for some of the same orders, so their numbers overlap. The account is judged on Shopify: everything the store sold divided by everything spent on ads, which was 4.82x in September 2026.

Are these numbers real?

Yes. Every month is backed by a Meta Ads Manager screenshot on this page, with campaign names and the ad account blurred.
