META ADS
ROAS OPTIMIZATION
By Sorted Agency · April 2026 · 7 min read
Meta Ads is one of the highest-leverage channels for D2C brands. Here is how to approach roas optimization correctly.
The Meta Ads Opportunity for D2C
D2C brands that get meta ads right compound their growth. The brands that struggle are usually making one of three mistakes: wrong audience targeting, weak creative, or no systematic testing process.
Sorted manages meta ads for 100+ D2C brands across fashion, beauty, health, and supplements. The playbook below reflects what actually works.
How to Execute Roas Optimization Effectively
The framework that generates consistent results:
- Start with your best customers: Build lookalike audiences from your top 10% LTV customers, not your full customer list
- Test creative systematically: Run 3-5 creative variants per ad set, kill losers at $30-50 spend, scale winners
- Match creative to funnel stage: Top of funnel needs awareness creative, retargeting needs social proof and urgency
- Attribution: Use 7-day click, 1-day view attribution for most D2C verticals — longer windows inflate performance
