Questions people ask
What is CPC?
Cost Per Click — the average amount you pay each time someone clicks your ad, the most fundamental cost-efficiency metric in paid search.
What is the exact CPC formula?
CPC = total ad spend ÷ total number of clicks. For example, $400 spent over 200 clicks gives a CPC of $2.00.
What counts as a good CPC?
It depends heavily on industry and what a converted visitor is worth to you — roughly, under $1 is excellent for most niches, $1-$3 is average, $3-$10 is above average, and $10+ is common in highly competitive industries like finance, legal and insurance.
What's the difference between CPC and CPM?
CPC charges only when someone clicks your ad; CPM (Cost Per Mille) charges per 1,000 impressions regardless of clicks — CPC suits direct-response goals, CPM suits brand awareness.
What's the difference between max CPC and average CPC?
Max CPC is your bid ceiling — the most you're willing to pay for a click. Average CPC is what you actually pay on average, which is usually lower due to how ad auctions work; this tool calculates your real average from actual spend and clicks.
