Formula

Cost per click, defined.

CPC measures how much you paid for each click. It is a traffic-cost number, not a profit number, so it needs lead quality and revenue context before you act on it.

CPC = spend / clicks

Worked example

From spend to CPC.

If you spent $600 and received 120 clicks, the math is 600 divided by 120. The result is a $5.00 CPC.

Benchmarks

Compare CPC with dated cost context.

CPC has useful public benchmark context when you keep it tied to source, date, and category. Compare your result with the Facebook CPC benchmark and the Facebook ads cost guide.

FAQ
Why can CPC move without the ad changing?
Auction pressure, placement mix, and audience size can move CPC even when the creative is unchanged.
Should I optimize only for low CPC?
No. Low CPC is useful only when the clicks can become qualified leads or customers.
