CPC (Cost Per Click)

Cost paid for each click on an advertisement.

CPC is the unit price of a click in your paid campaigns (Google Ads, Meta Ads, etc.). Formula: CPC = Spend / Number of Clicks. A CPC of $0.80 on 5,000 clicks represents $4,000 in budget. CPC varies by industry, competition, and ad quality. Tracking CPC lets you optimize bids and compare the relative effectiveness of your creatives and audiences.
