CPC Meaning

What is CPC?

Cost Per Click (CPC) for Facebook Ads is a metric that represents the amount an advertiser pays each time a user clicks on one of their Facebook advertisements. This model is particularly useful for campaigns that aim to drive traffic to a website, product page, or any other URL. In the CPC model, the focus is on generating user engagement rather than just views or impressions. The actual cost per click is determined by several factors, including the ad's targeting parameters, competition for ad space, and the overall demand for advertising among the targeted audience. To calculate CPC on Facebook, divide the total cost of the campaign by the number of clicks received. This metric allows advertisers to assess how effectively their budget is being used to engage users and to optimize their campaigns for better performance and cost-efficiency.
