Influencers rarely close alone.
Direct sales may be modest, but creator visibility increases trust, branded search and the performance of paid ads—helping reduce blended CAC over time.
A cleaner view of how marketing investment grows month by month, where the money goes, and what each platform is expected to contribute—directly or indirectly.
The first two months fund learning and content. The steepest increases begin only after the storefront, quick-commerce availability and winning creatives are ready.

These are the rules that prevent the dashboard from becoming a misleading platform-ROAS comparison.
Direct sales may be modest, but creator visibility increases trust, branded search and the performance of paid ads—helping reduce blended CAC over time.
The shopper is already inside a buying environment. Sponsored placements therefore tend to convert more efficiently than cold Meta traffic once availability is strong.
Meta introduces the brand, builds remarketing audiences and creates demand that later appears as Google searches, marketplace visits and quick-commerce orders.
