FAQs
What is a good CPC?
CPC varies by industry: E-commerce $0.50-$2, Legal $5-$20, Insurance $10-$50+. Focus on CPC relative to your customer lifetime value and conversion rates, not absolute CPC numbers.
How can I lower my CPC?
Improve Quality Score through better ad relevance and landing pages, use long-tail keywords, adjust targeting, test ad copy, and optimize bid strategy. Higher Quality Score significantly reduces CPC.
CPC vs CPM: which is better?
CPC is better for direct response and lead generation - you only pay for interested users. CPM is better for brand awareness campaigns where impressions matter more than clicks.
Why does CPC vary so much?
CPC depends on competition (auction-based), keyword intent (commercial vs informational), ad quality score, targeting specificity, time of day, and seasonality.
