Frequently Asked Questions

How can I lower my CPC?+

Improving ad relevance and click-through rate (CTR), refining audience targeting, and testing new ad creatives are the most common ways to reduce CPC on most ad platforms.

Is a lower CPC always better?+

Not necessarily. A cheap click that never converts is worse than a more expensive click that becomes a customer. Always evaluate CPC alongside conversion rate and CAC.
