CPA Meaning

What is CPA?

Cost Per Action (CPA) for Facebook Ads is a pricing model where advertisers pay for specific actions taken by users as a result of their ads. These actions can include purchases, sign-ups, form submissions, or other key conversions. CPA is particularly valuable for advertisers looking to measure the direct impact of their Facebook Ads on their business goals. To calculate CPA on Facebook, you divide the total cost of your ad campaign by the number of conversions achieved. This metric helps advertisers understand the cost effectiveness of their ads in driving the desired customer actions, enabling more strategic budgeting and campaign planning.
