CPV Meaning

What is CPV?

Cost Per View (CPV) in Google Ads is a pricing model used primarily for video advertising, where advertisers pay based on the number of video views or interactions, such as clicks on call-to-action overlays, cards, and companion banners. A view is counted when a user watches 30 seconds of the video ad (or the duration if it's shorter than 30 seconds) or interacts with the ad, whichever comes first. CPV is crucial for advertisers focusing on video campaigns as it allows them to measure the cost-effectiveness of their video ads in engaging viewers. This metric helps advertisers optimize their spending by evaluating which videos hold viewers' attention and prompt interaction, thereby providing insights into viewer engagement and preferences.

A movie streaming service runs a video ad campaign on Google Ads. The campaign spends $600 and results in 150,000 views.

CPV = Total Cost / Total Views
