Practical Example

Scenario:

You spent ₹15 per click and received 1,000 clicks, with 200,000 impressions and 300 conversions.

Calculation:

• Total Spend = ₹15 × 1,000 = ₹15,000

• CPA = ₹15,000 ÷ 300 = ₹50

• CTR = (1,000 ÷ 200,000) × 100 = 0.5%

• CPM = (₹15,000 ÷ 200,000) × 1,000 = ₹75

Interpretation:

You’re getting conversions at ₹50 each with decent reach at a CPM of ₹75. Focus on improving CTR and CPA for even better ROI.

• Optimize for Mobile: Ensure landing pages load quickly and function flawlessly on mobile devices.

• Run A/B Tests: Compare creatives, CTAs, and headlines to identify top performers.

• Leverage Story Ads: Higher engagement rates can lead to better CTRs.

• Use Retargeting: Re-engage users who have interacted but haven’t converted.
