Campaign Inputs
Live CalculationTotal ad spend allocated across paid channels (Google, Meta, TikTok) during the given period.
Total raw inquiries, form submissions, or WhatsApp conversations captured.
Average Cost Per Lead
Per raw inquiry / lead
Important Strategic Context:
Review CPL alongside qualification rate and closed deals. Define the included acquisition costs before comparing campaign efficiency.
CPL = Advertising Spend / Number of Leads
Advertising Spend: The net media budget spent on advertising platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram), or TikTok Ads during a specific period.
Number of Leads: Total raw inquiries, form fills, or qualified WhatsApp incoming conversations captured from that specific advertising spend.
Cost Per Lead measures top-of-funnel acquisition velocity. However, low CPL does not equal high profitability.
In a hypothetical comparison, $50 CPL at a 15% qualification rate produces about $333.33 CPQL; $10 CPL at a 1% rate produces $1,000 CPQL. Review contracts and included costs separately to assess the commercial outcome.
Always pair CPL analysis with Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and CRM lead-to-deal conversion data.
Hypothetical calculation: a Meta campaign in New Cairo has advertising spend of $15,000. Assume that over 30 days it receives 250 lead form inquiries.
If 25 of those 250 inquiries qualify as serious buyers (SQLs), the Cost Per Sales Qualified Lead is $600.00 ($15,000 / 25 SQLs).
