CPC

Cost Per Click

A billing model or metric indicating the average cost of a single click on an ad or sponsored link. It enables comparison of the effectiveness of ad creatives, keywords, and audience segments.

Why it matters

Shows how much it costs to bring one person to your site — a common denominator for comparing keywords, creatives, and audience segments.

What's missing without it

Without cost per click, budget is spent blindly across campaigns — you can’t see which keywords and creatives you’re overpaying for by several times.

When it is used

When optimizing paid search and social media ad campaigns.

How we use it

The ad module compares CPC across different ad sets and recommends shifting budget accordingly.
