In this article, we’ll uncover a few things that will help you spend less on pay per click (PPC) customer acquisition every month.
What is CPA?
Cost per acquisition, or CPA, is defined by Google as,
“The price advertisers pay for every new customer they acquire, which is calculated by dividing the total cost of conversions by the number of conversions.”
Cost per acquisition CPA is a measure of return on investment ROI of any given campaign. Google determines cost per acquisition for a company by its quality score. But there is so much more to figure out the cost for advertisers. Always work to improve your score with factors like relevancy. Basically, each ad group needs to have a set of extremely relevant keywords.
Did you know different keywords have different conversion rates? Think about the specificity of the keyword or longtail keyword you are aiming to show for: is it a general word or phrase or a specific one? Take the shoe market for example:
“Best shoes of 2018” would apply to someone more in the consideration phase of marketing than “2018 crossfit lifting shoes” who is likely searching to buy something specific, and soon.
So the question is, how much should you bid for these terms?
