Find your CPM — the cost per 1,000 ad impressions — from your spend and impressions.
CPM measures reach cost, not results. Pair it with click-through and conversion rates to judge whether cheap impressions actually pay off. Estimate only.
CPM is the cost to show your ad 1,000 times. It's the standard way to compare the price of reach across platforms and campaigns — but low CPM only matters if those impressions convert.
CPM = (ad spend ÷ impressions) × 1,000
No. Cheap impressions on the wrong audience waste money. Judge CPM together with click-through rate and cost per conversion.
CPM prices reach (per 1,000 views); CPC prices clicks. Brand campaigns often use CPM; direct-response often uses CPC.
