Understanding CPM
What is CPM?
CPM stands for Cost Per Mille (thousand). It measures the cost to reach 1,000 people with your ad. Formula: CPM = (Ad Spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000. It's the standard pricing model for display, video, and brand awareness campaigns.
Industry Benchmarks
Average CPM by platform: Facebook $5 to $15, Instagram $6 to $16, Google Display $2 to $5, YouTube $9 to $20, LinkedIn $25 to $40, TikTok $6 to $12. CPMs vary by audience, targeting, seasonality, and ad format.
Common Questions
When should I optimize for CPM?
CPM bidding works best for brand awareness campaigns where reach matters more than clicks. Use it for display ads, video campaigns, and top-of-funnel social media ads.
How do I lower my CPM?
Improve ad relevance scores, test different audiences, adjust bidding strategies, and optimize creative. Broader targeting often yields lower CPMs but less qualified impressions.
CPM vs CPC, which is better?
Neither is universally better. CPM suits awareness campaigns; CPC suits performance campaigns. Compare your effective CPM (what you'd pay per 1,000 impressions via CPC) to actual CPM to decide.
