What is CPC ?

The average advertising cost for each click, calculated as spend divided by clicks.

The meaning

CPC in plain language

CPC tells you what a click costs, not whether that visitor becomes a customer. Review it alongside enquiry quality, conversion rate and cost per qualified lead. A cheaper click can still be less useful.

A practical example

How it works in practice

A campaign spends $300 on 100 clicks, giving an average CPC of $3.
