Frequently Asked Questions
What is cost per click (CPC)?
CPC is the average amount you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. It is calculated by dividing total ad spend by total clicks. Lower CPC means you are getting more traffic for your budget.
What is a good CPC?
It varies enormously by industry. Legal and insurance keywords can exceed $50/click. E-commerce is often $0.50-$2.00. B2B software is typically $3-$8. The key is whether your CPC allows profitable customer acquisition, not the absolute number.
How do I lower my CPC?
Improve ad quality scores (relevance, landing page experience), use negative keywords to filter irrelevant clicks, target long-tail keywords with less competition, improve ad copy click-through rates, and test different bidding strategies.
