Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate CPC with an example?
CPC = total cost ÷ clicks. Spending 5,000 for 1,250 clicks gives a CPC of 5,000 ÷ 1,250 = 4.00. If the next campaign delivers the same 1,250 clicks for 3,750, CPC drops to 3.00 — a 25% efficiency gain.
How do I work out my ad budget from a target CPC?
Budget = CPC × clicks needed. If your landing page converts 2% of visitors and you want 20 sales, you need 1,000 clicks; at a CPC of 4.00 the budget is 4,000. This reverse calculation is exactly what the 'total cost' mode does.
What is a good CPC?
It depends entirely on what a click is worth to you. The real test is: CPC ÷ conversion rate = cost per acquisition. A 4.00 CPC with a 2% conversion rate means a 200 CPA — good if each customer brings 1,000 of margin, terrible if they bring 100. Benchmarks vary hugely by industry and country.
How are CPC and CPM related?
CPC = CPM ÷ (10 × CTR%). If you pay a 200 CPM (per 1,000 impressions) and your CTR is 2%, you get 20 clicks per 1,000 impressions, so CPC = 200 ÷ 20 = 10. Improving CTR directly lowers your effective CPC on impression-priced campaigns.
