Quick Diagnosis

Check if any of these apply to your situation:

  • Your CPM is above $5 on Sponsored Experiences
  • Your cost per click is above $0.50
  • You've been running the same creative for 2+ weeks
  • Your targeting is very narrow

Why CPM Gets High

High CPM on Roblox ads comes from three sources: creative fatigue (the same icon has been shown too many times), narrow targeting (competing for a small audience), or low engagement signals (low game page CTR pushes the auction price up).

Of the three, creative fatigue is the most common. Most developers run the same ad creative for far too long.
