COS (Cost of Sales) is a performance metric that shows what percentage of your revenue is made up of advertising costs (including service fees).

👉 Example: If your COS is 20%, it means that for every $100 in revenue, $20 was spent on advertising.

💡 Lower COS = more efficient ads, higher COS = higher marketing spend compared to turnover.
