CPA

Cost Per Acquisition/Action

A metric measuring the cost of achieving a desired campaign result, such as a lead, purchase, registration, or download. The definition of the action must be clearly specified before reporting begins.

Why it matters

It measures what you actually buy in a campaign: the cost of one acquisition — a lead, purchase, or registration. It enables comparing channels by actual results, not just clicks.

What's missing without it

Without cost per acquisition, campaigns are evaluated by reach and clicks — which can be cheap and worthless at the same time.

When it is used

When billing performance campaigns and comparing channel ROI; the action definition is set before launch.

How we use it

The report shows the average CPA for lead acquisition from landing page campaigns and social media ads.
