Cost per acquisition (CPA) is an essential eCommerce KPI that shows you the average cost to gain one new customer.
Cost per acquisition is different from cost per order, another marketing metric that shows the average marketing spend to acquire any customer (both new and returning customers).
How is maximum CPA calculated
Maximum cpc can be calculated in two different ways: 1) if you have in mind a Maximum CPA, multiply conversion rate by Maximum CPA.
2) if you have in mind a Maximum CPM, divide Maximum CPM by 1000, and then divide the result by CTR.
What is CPA formula
Average cost per action (CPA) is calculated by dividing the total cost of conversions by the total number of conversions.
For example, if your ad receives 2 conversions, one costing $2.00 and one costing $4.00, your average CPA for those conversions is $3.00.
Why is my CPC so low
Content is king on the internet and also on AdSense If you are providing your users with low quality or outdated content, Google will rate your website much lower and your CPC (the bids advertisers make to appear on your website) will greatly fall.
Why does CPA increase
Your CPC is the amount you pay every time a user clicks on your campaign item.
Conversion rate is how often a user who clicks actually converts. So, not considering any other factors: if your CPC increases, your CPA will increase.
If your CPC decreases, your CPA will decrease.
Why are Cpas so high
Generally, your CPA will be higher than your cost per click, or CPC, because not everyone who clicks your ad will go on to complete your desired action, whether it’s making a purchase or filling out a form to become a lead.
What is CPA and ROAS
ROAS (or return on ad spend) is the revenue you make in relation to your advertising costs while CPA, (or cost per action or cost per conversion) is the total ad costs divided by the number of conversions.
